The prompt for the first activity is “Outcasts are burning civilians out of their homes in Downtown West. Find and stop them.”

The solution for the prompt is to eliminate three Outcast Scorchers in Downtown West. Scorchers are enemies that carry flamethrowers. You can encounter Scorchers in Outcast Bounties or activities that appear south of the region. Make sure to reset your control points back to enemy control so Outcast will flood Downtown West.

The hint for the second activity is “We’re getting reports of Outcasts committing mass executions in Downtown West. Stopping them is a high priority.”

The answer to the second riddle is to complete one Outcast Public Execution in Downtown West. This activity is noted by the person icon on the map and requires players to take on waves of enemies to save two hostages. There is one on the southern side of Downtown West, as long as the surrounding areas’ control points have not been completed.
