The quest is part of the disrupt conspiracy questline during which the player is ordered to hunt 3 bandit groups around one of their settlements before taking on an elite bandit group of 'conspiracy' troops.
There were a couple of small bugs I encountered;
First was that the bandit groups start with around 75 troops and then slowly reduce down to zero if not interacted with, as if troops are just abandoning it non stop as soon as they spawn on the map.
The Second and more important issue was that if one of these bandit groups surrenders to you immediately without entering combat, then it does not count towards the defeated parties tally. As these parties are specifically marked with a blue excamation mark (!) and you cannot just attack a different party it means that the quest reaches a dead end and can't be completed.
