The Mutiny Manhunt continues in Year 7 Season 3, and Week 5 (Scout 5) shifts focus away from high-value targets and back into open-world pressure. This week highlights growing unrest tied to the True Sons, with SHD agents tasked with stabilizing settlements, securing resources, and shutting down enemy messaging.
Scout 5 features three objectives, all disguised as intel clues. While none are mechanically complex, knowing where to go and how to trigger each activity saves time and prevents unnecessary resets.
How to Complete the Target Practice Scout 5 Objective
Unlike earlier weeks, Scout 5 has no HVT bounty. Instead, it leans into:

- Open-world activities
- Control Point interaction
- Faction-specific objectives tied to the True Sons
All objectives can be completed solo and do not require matchmaking.
Objective 1: Complete a Target Practice Activity
The first Scout objective revolves around improving settlement defense readiness through a Target Practice activity.
How Target Practice Works
Target Practice is a timed shooting challenge found in the open world. These activities are marked by a shield-style icon on the map and are hosted by an NPC trainer.
Steps to Complete It
- Locate any Target Practice activity on the map
- Speak to the trainer to begin
- Move into the marked shooting zone
- Complete four timed rounds of target shooting
- Eliminate all targets before the timer expires in each round
Targets appear from multiple angles, with later rounds spawning more rapidly. Accuracy matters more than raw damage, so fast-handling weapons perform well here.
If you fail a round, simply talk to the trainer again to restart.
Objective 2: Donate 75 Resources to a Southwest Control Point
The second task focuses on stabilizing SHD-controlled territory by resupplying a Control Point in the Southwest district.
Important Requirement
You must have at least one Control Point under SHD control in the Southwest area. If none are currently friendly, you’ll need to capture one first.
Recommended Control Points
- No Hope Hotel
- The Choke
Both are reliable options if the district is fully hostile.
Donation Steps
- Capture a Control Point in the Southwest district (if needed)
- Wait for the Control Point Officer to arrive
- Interact with the officer
- Donate 75 total resources
Any combination of available resources counts toward the total.
Once donated, the Scout objective completes immediately.
Objective 3: Complete a True Sons Propaganda Broadcast
The final Scout 5 task requires shutting down True Sons propaganda, reinforcing the narrative of internal fractures within the faction.
What to Look For
This must be a Propaganda Broadcast specifically controlled by the True Sons. Check the faction icon before starting the activity.
How the Broadcast Plays Out
- Clear the initial enemy wave
- Begin the speaker override process
- At 50% progress, a second wave spawns
- Defeat enemies and collect the access key
- Resume the override
- A final enemy wave appears before completion
- Clear all enemies and authorize the override
The override process pauses whenever enemies are present, so clearing waves quickly keeps the event moving.
What You Unlock After Completion
Finishing all three Scout 5 objectives triggers a seasonal audio transmission. This intel expands on the True Sons’ internal issues, particularly rising defection and instability within their ranks—setting narrative momentum toward the final Manhunt phase.
Scout 5 may be lighter on spectacle, but it plays an important role in the Mutiny storyline, reinforcing the growing cracks within the True Sons faction. With these tasks complete, SHD agents are one step closer to the season’s final confrontation.More Gaming Guides
