The screams still echo in my ears. One minute, she was thanking me for letting her into the survivor’s quarters; the next, she was biting the neck of another refugee. Now, it’s your turn to make the call: who lives, and who gets the axe in Quarantine Zone: The Last Check?
This game flips the script on the zombie apocalypse. Forget headshots; your main job is keeping your outpost alive by shepherding new arrivals toward a safe zone. But here’s the catch: some of those desperate faces carry a deadly secret. So, how can you tell the difference between a grateful survivor and a ticking time bomb?
Spotting the Signs in Quarantine Zone
I was watching an ER doc on TV the other day; she said half her job is just seeing what others miss. Same deal here. Symptoms in Quarantine Zone: The Last Check are your clues—the visible (and sometimes hidden) indicators of infection. Some are obvious, others subtle, and your tools will improve as you play, but you need to train yourself to notice every detail.
Let’s run through the basics. I haven’t gotten my hands on every gadget just yet (stuck at the Scanner), but here’s what I’ve learned so far.
- The Quick Scan: Yellow eyes? Worry. Red eyes? Danger. Freckles are fine, but scratches and (especially) bite marks are not. Scratches are bad, bites are worse. The Scanner will reveal what’s hiding.
- Thermopulse: Elevated pulse or temperature screams infection. Trust the readings.
- Hammer Time: If they swing at you when you tap them with the hammer, that’s a major red flag.
More devices mean more data, so keep playing. Here’s the full symptom rundown as I know it.
All Symptoms in Quarantine Zone: The Last Check
Consider this your field guide. I’ll update it as I unlock more items and uncover more clues. Think of it as our shared intelligence network.
- Yellow Eyes (Proceed with Caution)
- Conjunctivitis (Possible Infection)
- Red Eyes (Infected)
- Frackles (All Clear)
- Bruises (All Clear)
- Skin Cuts (Possible Infection)
- Necrosis (Infected)
- Bite Mark (Infected)
- 37-41 degrees Celsius (Possible Infection)
- Above 41 degrees Celsius (Infected)
- 120-180 pulse (Possible Infection)
- Above 180 pulse (Infected)
- Hyper reflex (Possible Infection: attacks when you tap with the hammer)
- Cross reflex (Infected: attacks with the opposite limb when tapped by the hammer)
There’s more to discover. I haven’t seen some of the early-access symptoms crop up again yet.
- Sneeze
- Hiccups
- Cough
- Sick breath
These are all potential signs of infection, so quarantine is your safest bet. Here’s what that looks like in practice:
This guy’s eyes are suspect, but no bites. He gets quarantine.
Red eyes and a bite? That’s a one-way trip to the chopping block. It’s a grim job, but someone has to do it.
What happens if you accidentally let an infected survivor through?
Think of your outpost as a fragile ecosystem. If an infected person slips through, it’s like a virus in your computer: they can quickly turn others, leading to widespread panic and, potentially, the downfall of your entire operation. You’ll need to act fast, isolating the infected and anyone they came into contact with, and possibly making some very difficult choices.
How can I improve my inspection accuracy in Quarantine Zone?
Experience is your best teacher. The more survivors you process, the sharper your eye becomes. Pay attention to the subtle details, learn the patterns of infection, and don’t be afraid to use your tools. Each device gives you additional data points, reducing the risk of error. Think of it like being a detective; the more clues you gather, the clearer the picture becomes.
Are there any long-term consequences for rejecting too many survivors?
Word gets around. If you become known as a heartless gatekeeper, fewer survivors will risk approaching your outpost. This can lead to dwindling resources and a weakening of your defenses. Reputation matters, even in the apocalypse. Finding the right balance between safety and compassion is key to long-term survival.
The fate of your outpost rests on your shoulders. Are you ready to make the hard calls?
