I actually did not kill any quillboars and was still able to complete the quest. Even when the kodo is overwhelmed, the quillboars don't damage the kodo at all.

FYI you are not limited to shooting the Quilboar with this gun. When there were no Quilboars around I killed a zebra.

What to do
Description
<Halga grins disarmingly, holding up an enormous firearm.> Have you ever used one of these, {name}? It's a beast. Hell with a handgrip. Too heavy to use on foot, but perfect when riding at the head of a caravan. I call it my 'street sweeper.' We need to get those supplies you've collected to the Crossroads, and I expect trouble. I'd like for you to ride shotgun. Literally! Say the word when you're ready and I'll put you at the head of our next caravan.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Supplies for the Crossroads
Whatever has happened in Southern Barrens is causing some of the quilboar tribes to flee our direction. The displaced Razormane in particular grow desperate, and their attacks grow bolder. I've lost two caravans this week alone!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Drag it Out of Them
It is our instinct to simply lash out at our attackers, but wisdom dictates another path. We should interrogate one of these quilboar invaders and learn all we can. Take this net, <name>, and ensnare a quilboar pillager attacking our farm just west of here.
