TheWoWDBDoing this quest while simultaneously having the world quest that involves the launchers active in the area makes this undoable. Finish the world quest first then carry on with your questing.

A World of Warcraft quest in Stormheim. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
The Harpoon launchers are found on top of the walls surrounding the village enclave, as shown by the blue lines on your mini map. You will need to use your grappling hook on the grappling points scattered around the top of the wall in order to gain access to them, where you can then right-click them to destroy them.
For whatever reason, wowhead's quest tracker is showing this quest as incomplete for me on all characters, and yet I have completed all the subsequent quests in the chain. So if you see the quest as incomplete, and you're pretty sure you've already done this, you probably have.

Description
I've got bad news. Those harpoon launchers up on the walls might cause us some problems. They can't get at us down here, but once you start climbing that path, they're likely going to try to skewer you. If you use that grapple launcher, you should be able to get on top of the walls and dismantle them. Watch out for the drakes, though!

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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- To Weather the Storm
I've been doing some nosing around, and it looks like these vrykul are making regular trips up the mountain themselves. They've got some specialized gear for it, so while we're here we should take some.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Another Way
Well, the bridge option is out. You still got that grapple launcher handy? It looks like we can get across from the top of that tower over there. First thing's first, though, we'll need to deal with the big ugly sitting out front. You take point.
