The hostages are breathing shallow and the streetlight flickers—there’s a countdown you can feel in your bones. I watched enemy patrols tighten their noose while I mapped the quickest exits. You only need one clean run to tip Week 8 in your favor.
Broken storefronts and spray-painted warnings line East Mall — The Division 2 Y8S2 Scout 8 solutions
I cut the Scout 8 clues into three small jobs you can finish in an hour if you move like you mean it. You decode a clue, complete the activity it points to, and unlock the next one. These tasks are simple, but missing one drags the whole chain out.
- Complete one Public Execution in East Mall
- Capture three Control Points in East Mall
- Complete any two friendly Open World activities
How do I complete a Public Execution in East Mall?
Public Executions show up on the map as red icons. Move toward them, clear the staging area, and free the hostages before the last shot. Clear every enemy you find and speak to the NPCs to register the event as complete.
Play it safe on higher difficulties if you want better rewards, but a single easy run still counts for Scout 8. Precision matters here—think of clearing a Public Execution like a scalpel: clean cuts, no wasted motion.
Where are the control points in East Mall?
East Mall contains multiple Control Points. You can flip the same one multiple times or take three different ones—either way, they must be inside the East Mall district. The locations you’ll see on the map are:
- Metro Ruins
- Solar Farm
- Sinkhole
- Crash Site
Approach with allies, clear the first wave, then survive the boss wave and the defense phase. Capture counts once the area is fully cleared and the interface confirms control. Higher difficulties give better loot if you’re chasing rewards from Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment’s seasonal rotation.
Control points pull in enemies like a magnet, so bring cover and a plan for area denial.
What counts as friendly Open World activities?
Friendly activities use green icons instead of red. Common examples are weapon escort missions, convoy defenses, and rescue ops that don’t require a full incursion. Complete any two of these to tick the last Scout 8 box.
If none are on the map, a quick restart or switching sessions can spawn a different set of open-world events. This works across PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and older consoles running The Division 2.
Favor weapon escorts if you want predictable pacing and low risk—those pop frequently and finish fast.
These three tasks are the shortest path to Week 8’s climax. Treat the Scout chain like a short errands list: one rescue, three captures, two friendlies, and you’re done. The Manhunt doesn’t wait—will you push East Mall clean tonight or let the timer keep ticking?
