The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints
Preemptive Strike
1 of 4: Anytime after finishing the "A New Order" main-line quest, ask anyone in Fort Dawnguard what you can do to help, and the game will randomly choose a side quest. If it's this one, go talk to Gunmar to start it.
2 of 4: Make this quest active so you can follow the quest arrow to the randomly chosen area.
3 of 4: Fight your way through it until you reach the quest-arrow-marked vampire, then kill him.
4 of 4: Return to Fort Dawnguard and report his death to Gunmar to get a random, leveled weapon or apparel item. If you don't like what you get, you can restore the autosave that was made when you entered the fort and try again. Doing that may also alter which randomized quest you get next.
