You can notice that it’s close to the MMU building, and you’ll have to shoot it down otherwise it will alarm all Freakers.

Old Sawmill Nero MMU Speaker 7

The seventh Nero MMU Speaker at this location it’s extremely easy to miss and can cause a lot of problems. Look for it outside the checkpoint’s fence, on top of a fence, partially hidden by a tree.

As you can see in our picture, it is close to the road leading to this location.
