Something really wierd I found out while doing the quest.
While sniping them, if you move your camera with left mouse button - your aim dosent move, so you shoot on your 'old' position (the one you had before moving your camera).

To actually hit them properly, you have to direct your camera with right mouse button.

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.

Step 2 of 2. Chain order is read from the prerequisite data in the current retail client build, so it reflects what the game requires, not a curated storyline. A step the build does not name is kept in place, unnamed, so the sequence stays complete.
