I crawled out of a Safe House, heartbeat thudding against concrete, and watched three agents flank a landmark with shaky discipline. You feel the map close in the same way I do—time and choices compressing into a single decision. By the time Graziano spawns, there’s no room for hesitation.
Cars burned on the shoulder of Pennsylvania Avenue — The Division 2 Y8S3 Red Horizon Week 4 HVT Manhunt: Scout 4 solutions
I’ll walk you through the three tasks that form this week’s Scout 4 chain and show how to finish them fast, with minimal fuss and maximum reward momentum. You know the risks: the Dark Zone is merciless, and a misstep wastes the countdown to the bounty. I’ll point to spots the community (Reddit, Ubisoft forums, and Discord channels) flags often and how streamers on Twitch and creators on YouTube route the fastest clears.
How do I clear landmarks in DZ East or West fast?
Observation: The Dark Zone markers flare on your map before players swarm them.
You’ll clear any landmark in DZ East or West to tick off the first task. Landmarks are named locations with higher-tier enemies and often a mini-boss or two. Treat them like controlled bursts: identify the spawns, shut down the heavy hitters, and collapse the remainder.
- Enter from the flank rather than the front door to avoid crossfire and players camping chest spawns.
- Prioritize named enemies and explosives; they’re the time sinks that blow your window for the bounty.
- If another agent engages, decide whether to assist or pull back—stealing a fast clear is tempting, but dying resets your momentum.
The DZ is a pressure cooker. Keep your rounds tight, and don’t give opponents a crowd advantage.
Do Cleaner activities in DC count toward the Scout 4 tasks?
Observation: Cleaner patrols light up like braziers along DC’s streets whenever the faction pushes an area.
Yes—only activities flagged as Cleaner events inside the DC district count. They can be control points, small clears, or dynamic events; the activity tag decides whether the Scout tick happens. I recommend picking the shortest three Cleaner events you can find. Lowering difficulty is smart if you want speed over the thrill of a challenge.
- Scan the map for Cleaner icons and head for clustered events to chain three quickly.
- Use a fast build or a skill-heavy setup and clear the objective; the mission type doesn’t matter for progression.
- If you’re solo and want reliability, watch community-run playlists on Steam or Discord to spot known quick-runs.
Where is the Graziano bounty located and how long do you have?
Observation: The bounty marker drops on your map and a clock starts ticking the moment you accept it.
After the two prior tasks are done you get the Graziano bounty. The map pins his location, and a 15-minute timer begins to force you into a decision: rush or prepare. You can cut difficulty for a safer, faster clear—especially if you’re solo or carrying loot that you won’t risk losing.
- Travel fast: use a Safe House fast-travel point near the marker or a short road sprint—every second counts.
- Wave clears are scripted. Clear mobs in order, keep cover discipline, and save crowd-control for the final spawn when Graziano arrives.
- Graziano himself drops better loot when you don’t nerf the activity, but that’s a gamble against time and invaders. Check recent threads on the Ubisoft forums and the Steam community to see what other agents recommend for loot drops this week.
The manhunt is a magnet for aggressive builds and reckless players; if you prefer cleanliness over chaos, bring a team or a chilled loadout.
Final note: I follow the patch notes on Ubisoft and watch a handful of trusted streamers for route tweaks that shave minutes off each step. If you want to keep runs tight, this is how I do it—what’s your threshold for risk when a bounty timer starts?
