Description

This land is already a monumental disaster, but it could get worse! The Venture Company is here, and will exploit this land for every ounce of profit they can make. We must make their venture here unprofitable, so they will leave. Destroy the three expensive security units with them, and they may leave for more profitable ventures.

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.
