Description

You are no longer able to hear Hobart's voice over the static. You can make out the outlines of several floating bodies nearby. They have significantly decomposed, but their dog tags should still be intact. Hopefully the dog tags can help identify Marshal Valentine.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
