This new quest doesn't explain itself very well.
You're looking for boxes on the ground called "Nightborne Arms Cache" - which gives you [item=142216] in your inventory. It's a box in the quest area with a crescent moon on top, it doesn't seem to shine very brightly like I'd expect a quest item to do and does not show up on the minimap.
Take the box, then use it near some [npc=115338] and they will pick up the items, giving you credit towards the quest. The box has a range, and all of the [npc=115338] in range will pickup the weapons (so aim for a bigger group if possible, biggest I found was 3 in one place). They will fight nearby guards, though will die easily if outnumbered. Them fighting the guards is not required for quest completion.
You can only carry a single [item=142216] at a time, which is annoying when you look for ages and finally find two in a location!
Major phasing prob still going on- chests and ppl phase out when i get near them, awful frustrating.
Check whether you have already completed it in-game: /run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44769))

Really terrible quest, currently very buggy due to phasing issues. After finind a chest I picked it up and laid it down near some rebels and they disappeared along with everyone else in the area.
