Finishing Scout 12 is required to progress the Mutiny storyline and secure end‑season loot, impacting player rankings and future content access.
Seasonal content in Tom Clancy's The Division 2 drives player engagement by offering time‑limited challenges that reward progression and exclusive gear. Week 12 of the Y7S3 Mutiny season introduces the Scout 12 Manhunt, a three‑step objective chain that tests both combat efficiency and mission awareness. By focusing on True Sons elimination, players not only clear a bounty but also contribute to the broader narrative of the uprising, reinforcing the game's persistent world dynamics.
The public execution event adds a tactical layer, requiring teams to manage successive enemy waves while rescuing civilians. This mechanic encourages coordinated play and highlights the game's emphasis on situational decision‑making. Successfully completing the event grants a bonus bounty commission, providing additional experience and loot that accelerate season‑level advancement. Such design choices keep the community active, as players race to finish weekly goals before the season concludes.
Finally, the Lieutenant Colonel Kernel hunt serves as the high‑value target (HVT) climax for the week. Positioned at the Museum of Native People, the encounter rewards strategic targeting—disabling Kernel’s weapon first simplifies the fight and reduces downtime. Clearing this HVT not only fulfills Scout 12 but also unlocks narrative revelations about the True Sons faction, deepening the storyline. Overall, these weekly objectives blend narrative progression with tangible in‑game benefits, illustrating why timely participation is crucial for competitive and casual Division 2 players.

The Division 2 Y7S3 Mutiny Week 12 Manhunt is now live, and there are three tasks to complete as part of the Scout 12 objectives.
With the season nearing its end, we are just one step away from the climax mission. If you have completed all the Scout objectives before this week, there are just three more tasks to complete.
Let's look at how you can complete this objective.
The three tasks are hidden behind three hints that you need to decode.
"Take out the True Sons before they derail the uprising."
"Rescue the captured True Sons defectors."
"The informant has been identified as Lieutenant Colonel... Kernel."
Here are the tasks that you have to complete this week.
Eliminate 25 True Sons.
Prevent a public execution.
Bounty: Lieutenant Colonel Kernel.
The first task is quite simple, as you need to take care of 25 True Sons enemies. The easiest way to do so is to begin a True Sons bounty. A run or two should be enough (depending on the difficulty) for you to complete the task.
You can also encounter enemies from the True Sons faction randomly across open-world activities. The task will be completed as soon as you've killed the 25th enemy.

The second task is to complete a Public Execution event. The activity involves saving two civilians from the ones holding them hostage. The events have a 'question mark' symbol on top of them. Eliminate the first wave of enemies, and a second wave arrives. Clear the second wave, and speak with the civilians to save them.
Completing the task also gets you a bonus Bounty Commission that you can complete for extra rewards.

Once you complete the first two tasks, you can begin the bounty to take down Lieutenant Colonel Kernel. Head to the Bounties tab, and you'll find the assignment. Reach the location marked on the map to begin the HVT hunt. Clear the first two waves of enemies for Colonel Kernel to arrive. The HVT can be found at the Museum of Native People.
While there's no ideal strategy to defeat him, target his weapon to break it down first. This makes the fight easier to manage. Finishing the task will complete Scout 12 objectives and reveal more about the intentions of True Sons.
