Unlike most of the objectives in the game, The Division 2 Missing Curators and Missing Scavengers side mission locations aren’t given their own map markers, meaning there’s no clear waypoint to follow. This could lead to some players believing the missions to be glitched or bugged. However, that is not the case. You see, these are hidden side missions, and so it’s neither a bug nor glitch causing their locations to be missing. Developer Massive Entertainment seems to simply hope that you’d discover them naturally, through progressing through the game. With that said, these hidden side mission locations can be a pest to track down, and so we’ve put together an easy map on how to find The Division 2 Missing Curators and Missing Scavengers side mission locations.
The Division 2 Missing Curators side mission location
First up is The Division 2 Missing Curators side mission location, which is found near to the Castle Settlement. This is especially tricky to find, as it is beneath the ground, accessible from the southern road, next to the Control Point.
Speak to the NPC inside and you’ll then start the Missing Curators mission.
The Division 2 Missing Scavengers side mission location
Next, we have The Division 2 Missing Scavengers side mission location. This is to the west of the White House, and south of the Campus Settlement.
Head to the location, speak to the relevant NPC, and that will start The Division 2 Missing Scavengers side mission.
It seems that these side missions are added to your mission list when joining another agent, either via Matchmaking (a must for missions where you’re playing solo) or through joining as backup. If that agent has started these hidden side missions, then you will have the objective added to your current missions. This appears to be what’s causing the missions to appear in the mission list, without players actually having initiated them themselves.

The Division 2 and the best and worst Tom Clancy franchises
Due to a set of circumstances only possible in our industry, the Tom Clancy name has been all over gaming. It's the first name in tactical shooters and one of Ubisoft's most valuable franchises. However, it's not all sunshine and roses. Here is the history of The Clance in video game form. -
The Hunt for Red October
In the late '80s, one of the prominent genres on home PCs were tense strategy games. Since graphics hadn't evolved as of yet, games, where you played in the theater of the mind, dominated the landscape. What better subject than the tense thrillers of Tom Clancy for these types of experiences? -
The Sum of All Fears
In 1996, Tom Clancy co-founded Red Storm Entertainment after seeing these early successes. Ubisoft subsequently purchased the studio in 2000 after establishing a working relationship with them. Ubisoft then purchased the Tom Clancy name outright for use in video games in 2006. By then, games tying into Clancy's movie successes just weren't enough. -
Rainbow Six
Originally based on one of Clancy's novels, the Rainbow Six series encompasses 17 distinct releases across multiple platforms. Each game features tactical first-person shooting and aspires to be a military simulation. This style peaked with a pair of Vegas titles released on Xbox 360. -
Rainbow Six Siege
After spending several years developing a follow-up to Vegas entittled Patriots, Ubisoft went a different way. Rainbow Six Siege is a multiplayer-focused endeavor with Overwatch-style heroes as its operatives. Although it started off on the wrong foot, constant improvements have made it one of the most popular shooters going. -
Ghost Recon
The second set of Clancy tactical shooters, Ghost Recon differentiates itself with its third-person gameplay and its large outdoor environments. There have been fourteen Ghost Recon releases, ranging from the modern day to the near future. Most recently, Ghost Recon took a turn into the open world with Wildlands. -
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
A subsection of Ghost Recon, "GRAW" was one of the standout games around the Xbox 360 launch. Combining the tactics the series is known for with then-futuristic technology made for a great combination. Ubisoft would revisit the idea with a direct sequel and Future Soldier in 2012. -
Splinter Cell
Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher might have been in the running as an Xbox mascot back in the good old days. A stealth action series to rival Metal Gear, Sam's adventures are classics, particularly the original trilogy. The latest in the series was Blacklist in 2013, although there have been hints that Sam might drop in again any day now. -
EndWar
Taking Tom Clancy back to full on tactics, 2008's EndWar promoted itself on its voice-operated commands. You could control the entire game with a headset, although some reviewers found that to be difficult to achieve. A sequel started development but never saw the light of day. There was a free-to-play follow-up planned but it was canceled. -
H.A.W.X.
An arcade flying game taking place in the timeline of Advanced Warfighter, H.A.W.X. is a weird fit in the Tom Clancy timeline. Two games were released in 2009 and 2010, both receiving mixed to positive reviews. A seeming stopgap in the industry while Ace Combat slumbered, this is one name we probably won't be seeing again. -
The Division
The latest Tom Clancy joint, The Division takes the gameplay structure of Destiny and brings it down to Earth. Literally. This loot shooter doesn't quite have the tactical gameplay of past titles bearing Mr. Clancy's name, but it does have the squad controls and the storyline that attempts to match his most engaging works of fiction. Well, it doesn't have great storytelling techniques but at least it has the look and feel of a Clancy game.
