An introduction to scouting for hunt trains
What is scouting?
Scouting is searching for each A-Rank hunt mark location and marking them so that they are readily available for the conductor to call during the hunt train.
Locations are marked by in-game flags, or shared using browser-based external tools.
How do I scout?
First, you will check each spawn location to search where the A-Ranks have spawned.
You may reference spawn locations on Faloop in the A-Rank Tab or Cable Monkey Hunt Maps.
Next, once you have found a mark, you will generate an in-game flag via typing commands in the chat box. This can be done by either typing <pos>
while hovering over the A-Rank, or by typing <flag>
after placing a flag on your map.
How to place a flag manually on your map
Detailed instructions with images can be found on the Official UI Guide.
Mouse and Keyboard: CTRL + Right Click while your cursor hovers over the spot on your map.
Controller: L1 + R1 while your cursor hovers over that spot on your map.
Use a macro to generate flags easily
Experienced scouts use a macro to generate flags upon finding an A-Rank. The following page in this guide provides an explanation of macros.
How do I pass scouts to the conductor?
If you are not the one conducting the train, you will pass on the A-Rank locations via one or both of the following:
Giving them the flags in-game through a shared chat
Using a scouting tool and sharing the unique link via Discord, in-game chat, or other communication platforms.
When can I start scouting?
You may start scouting at any point after the A-Ranks come off of cooldown. They will not all be guaranteed to be spawned until they are capped, however, you may still search early if you wish.
Reference the A-Rank Windows to understand how to read Trackers.
