I crouched behind a rusted van as flames licked the courthouse steps and the timer on my HUD blinked raw. You feel the game tighten around you — every missed angle is a slapped-back reward. I’ll walk you through exactly what to do before the manhunt slips away.
The Division 2 Y8S3 Red Horizon Scout 2 solutions
The update banner still sits on my launcher, a small flag that says the season changed last week. I’ve run these tasks enough to know how the clues map to the in-world objectives, so you don’t have to guess. There are three chained tasks; solve the first clue, finish that activity, then the second opens, and finally the third — that sequence is your fastest route to completion.
How do I complete Scout 2 in The Division 2?
You follow the clue trail: decode the hint, perform the activity, repeat twice. I treat the scout challenges as short missions — quick, measurable, repeatable. Play at any difficulty you prefer; higher difficulties only give better drops, not extra task steps. If you’re tracking progress, use Ubisoft Connect or the in-game journal and watch a quick run on YouTube or Twitch if a route feels unclear.
Where are the Cleaners in Judiciary Square?
Observation: the Judiciary Square bracket is one of the game’s reliable enemy hubs during public events. You just need five kills — any Cleaner type, any difficulty.
I recommend spawning at the nearest safehouse and moving toward the square’s main plaza. Target flamethrower Cleaners first if they appear; their damage escalates fights and drags out time. Use cover, bait them into choke points, and finish them off. This task is forgiving: story missions, open-world spawns, control-point overlaps — all count.
Can I capture control points solo or should I bring help?
Observation: control points are designed as short, repeatable fights with a clear first and second wave. You can solo most captures if you lower the difficulty, but playing with a small squad speeds things and cancels out respawn grief.
For the Ellipse Fuel Depot, call in allies through the matchmaking wheel or use your Discord/Reddit communities to find a party. Clear wave one, then be ready for an elite second wave. Aim for crowd-control skills and a healer turret — that combo shrinks the risk. If you choose solo, reduce difficulty and kite the elites into predictable corridors.
The Downtown East control-point sweep
Observation: Downtown East contains four small control points packed into a tight loop you can clear in one run. Treat the district like a quick rotation rather than a single slog.
Start at the nearest safehouse and sweep the four points in a clockwise circle. Kill the first wave quickly to force the spawn timer; then prepare for heavier elites on wave two. If you need faster completion, queue up a public open-world event that overlaps a control point — often they spawn Cleaners or Hyenas that count toward the task.
I recommend checking the Division subreddit for current meta loadouts and watching a short run on Twitch if your gear feels underpowered. Using Ubisoft Connect to track reward progress keeps the sprint honest and prevents wasted loops.
The season’s challenge tempo is short and sharp, not marathon-long, so pace your runs: two rotations and you’ll have Scout 2 wrapped. The objective was never a maze; it was a set of doors you had to open in order — are you going to leave them closed? ?
