How to Get More Research Points in Quarantine Zone: The Last Check

There are three ways to get research points in Quarantine Zone: The Last Check:

Perform a Successful Inspection

Players will have to monitor the checkpoint and check dozens of survivors for symptoms every day. They will earn research points based on how many symptoms they're able to detection upon inspecting them. Here is each inspection rating, score, and how many symptoms they must find in order to achieve it:

Inspection rating

Symptoms detected correctly

RP earned

Poor

Below 50 percent

0 RP

Competent

Between 50 and 75 percent

6 RP

Excellent

Above 75 percent

9 RP

Gamers need to thoroughly check each patient for symptoms to ensure that they're able to get as many excellent inspections as possible each day they come into work.

Discover Symptoms at the Lab

When players inspect a survivor and notice that they have symptom that they've never come across and isn't listed on their Symptoms Chart, they should make note of this and send them to lab for analysis.

If they operate and are able to find a new symptom, they will receive 10 RP for their efforts. However, if they're able to find all symptoms in a chain, meaning symptoms that evolve onto something worse, they will receive an additional 50 RP.

Send Survivors to the Science Truck

On evacuation day, players have to choose whether they want to send a survivor to the Science Truck or the Military Truck; the latter rewards them with money, while the former rewards them with RP.

Gamers who want to get more research points should send survivors to the Science Truck. Here is how much they will earn based on how many survivors they send over:

  • 5 survivors - 50 RP
  • 10 survivors - 100 RP
  • 14 survivors - 150 RP
  • 18 survivors - 200 RP
  • 22 survivors - 250 RP

While it only happens every five days, players can earn a considerable amount of research points by sending everyone over to the science truck.
