How To Refill Scouts
Refilling scouts can be done in one of two ways. Considering some activities that use scouts might take a few scouts to accomplish, you’ll need to replenish them every so often.
To do this, you will want tochange the season(this only works if at least half of the season has passed). To do this, go to the map and hold the right D-Pad to fast forward through the second half of the season.
Another option is to purchase additional scouts for your season. To do this, head to your hideout and purchase them using Mon. If you want a cheaper alternative, you canbuild the Nando at your hideout, which decreases the price of replenishing scouts.
What Can Scouts Do?
Scouts can do quite a few different things, which makes them an invaluable asset to you. Whether you need to get the guards off your back or you need some more resources, they can help.
Remove Your Wanted Level
One of the best things that scouts can do is they canremove your wanted level. To do this, you just need to select the option to clear your regional alerts on the map menu. This costs 2 scouts and requires a level 2 Kakurega.

Find Targets For You
One of the more confusing things that scouts can do is they can help find targets for you. To do this, youmustselect the quest that mentions the target is somewhere in an area.
If you don’t select the quest that has a target’s general location, you will not be able to deploy them there. However, if the quest is selected, you can deploy them in the general area, and hopefully they’ll find your target.
Collect Valuable Resources
The final thing scouts do is that they can obtain stockpiles for you. You will come across these stockpiles whenyou clear enemy castlesand locations. Once you find one, you will see the prompt to send scouts to pick it up.
