Wtf even is this quest. 5% per ghoul kill, and do it all in a vehicle where you basically only spam 1 until they die 10-15 seconds later. Also hope you get to the ghouls before the opposite faction does, so you're fighting over spawns. Did anyone even play test this? What an awful, tedious quest. Am I missing something?

Quest is a bit vague.

TL;DR!

Right-click the hat, then right-click the ghoul in shackles - which is right next to the hat.

Button 1 (Infectious Bite) - Your Ghoul's basic attack. Stacks.
Button 2 (Contagion) - Releases a plague cloud to nearby enemies.
Button 3 (On the Hunt) - Speed boost.
Button 4 (Devour Flesh) - Does damage and heals your Ghoul.

Description

Where some see a problem, I see an opportunity. What this Scourge fiasco calls for is a creative solution! Behold--my "secret weapon"! Controlled by none other than my Carefully Constructed Control Device, or C.C.C.D. for short! Hmm, that name might need a little work. You're the first to see it, so that means you'll be the first to test it. But don't worry, I'm pretty sure it's safe. Good luck!

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.
