I drop into East Mall with the speakers wailing and three red icons closing in. You feel the season tightening — one clean run here and you’re nearer the climax. I’ll guide you through Scout 7 so you finish fast and with as little faff as possible.

The map is a chessboard of red squares, and those squares are your short route to the finale. I’ll strip the fluff and tell you which actions count, where to hit them, and how to shave minutes off the grind. You’ll move with intent, not hope.
How do I complete Scout 7 in The Division 2?
Scout 7 asks for three discrete objectives. Complete any three hostile Open World activities, finish two Propaganda Broadcasts, and eliminate 10 Black Tusks. Do those and the Scout 7 counter flips.
- Any three hostile Open World activities — these are the red-marker events where enemy factions clash.
- Two Propaganda Broadcasts — find the loudspeaker icons and shut them down.
- Eliminate 10 Black Tusks — kills across any activity count, but control points and bounties speed it up.

Open World Hostile Activities are generous: they count whether you solo them or tag in with a pickup team. Choose events clustered on the map and clear them in sequence. Your agent is a scalpel — precise, quick, and surgical when you pick the right entry.
A few practical tips I use every session:
- Prioritize events flagged red on the map; they’re easy to spot and usually close together.
- Control Points and Territory Control give steady Black Tusk spawns when held by that faction — perfect for double-dipping objectives.
- Run on PC, PS5, or Xbox and watch Reddit and Discord channels for bounty timers if you want teammates; Ubisoft forums often post spawn clusters after big updates.
Where are Propaganda Broadcasts located?
Look for the red loudspeaker icon across the map. They appear in public areas — East Mall, parking lots, and rooftops — and are easily farmed if you route through a zone with two nearby.
When you reach the beacon, clear the outer ring, then kill the reinforcements that spawn halfway through. The objective drops the code/key you need to finish the broadcast. Repeat once more and the two-broadcast requirement is satisfied. Ubisoft’s patch notes and community threads on Reddit often flag any broadcast movement after updates, so use those signals if spawns shift.
What’s the fastest way to farm Black Tusks?
Black Tusk kills count anywhere, but if speed matters, hit a Control Point that’s occupied by Black Tusks or queue a Black Tusk bounty from the map. Control Points are reliable spawn hubs; bounties funnel enemies into tighter spaces.
Want the quickest loop? Pick two nearby activities that spawn Black Tusks, clear them, respawn camp, and repeat. If you’re trading time for comfort, group up on Discord or use the in-game matchmaking — shared aggro shortens clear times dramatically.
Three small runs of the right events will complete Scout 7 faster than grinding random encounters. Use the red icons, route efficiently, and keep your loadout tuned to suppress reinforcements. Want to argue which control point is the fastest farm in Week 7?
