Destroy the Poison Production Pipelines

Objectives
1
Destroy the Poison Production Sub-Stations
Using the pictures you got from Lucky Mama, locate each sub-station. Consult the map above for details on all sub-station locations.

To find the first sub-station, go west from Dorada Cove. If you have it available, fast travel to Hideout Guaracha (guerrilla hideout) and go west from there. After a little bit of walking, the marker should appear on your map.

Use the McKay Pipeline Keycard to enter the building. Pull the 3 valves to destroy the poison container. If you do not have the keycard, blow up the yellow poison tank with guns and explosives.

Continue south and follow the pipes till you reach the next sub-station. Go inside the building and on the second floor there is a switch that will blow up the poison tank outside.

Follow the pipeline east until you reach the next sub-station. Pull the 3 switches in the area or do enough weapon damage to the poison tank to blow it up. It's possible to go around the back and blow up the tank without entering the fenced area.

Continue following the pipeline east until you reach the next sub-station. Destroy the poison tank here and you will now be ready to move on to the next part of the plan.

The map is correct. Verified through in game markers.

This map is completely wrong…This can be confirmed by simply viewing the map of substation 1 across the street from where the mission begins, there you can see where all 8 are. At first glance I can see that the map you’ve provided lists sub #7 as sub #1 and sub #5 as Sun #3
