In Quarantine Zone: The Last Check, inspection quality is not about instincts or fast decisions. The game expects a clear routine that documents every symptom and uses the right tools in the right order. If players keep seeing “Poor Inspection,” it usually means steps are being skipped, not that the final decision was wrong.
This guide breaks down the exact inspection routine needed to consistently earn perfect inspection ratings.
1. Full Visual Inspection Comes First
Every inspection should begin with a complete visual check using the flashlight. Walk fully around the survivor and look at the face, neck, arms, legs, and back. Accessories matter here. Sunglasses can hide infected eyes and hats can cover scalp symptoms, so they should always be removed before moving on.
Any visible symptom needs to be clicked immediately. Seeing a bite, bruise, or skin change is not enough. If it is not marked, the game treats it as missed. This step alone is where most inspection ratings fail.

2. Check Vital Signs with the Thermopulsometer
After the visual sweep, the Thermopulsometer should always be used. Temperature and pulse often reveal infection even when the survivor looks normal. You need to mark abnormal readings:
Normal readings usually mean the survivor is safe, while elevated or high readings should push the decision toward quarantine. Extreme readings almost always point to liquidation. As with visual symptoms, abnormal readings must be marked so they count toward inspection quality.
3. Scan for Hidden Infection with the UV Scanner
The UV Scanner is required for a clean inspection. It reveals infection traces that cannot be seen with normal light. Scan the hands, arms, face, neck, and clothing. Glowing areas under UV indicate exposure and should be logged right away.
Skipping UV scans is one of the fastest ways to earn a poor inspection rating, even if the survivor is clearly infected.

4. Use Advanced Tools When Available
As more tools unlock, they should be worked into every inspection rather than saved for special cases.
The Reflex Hammer checks neurological response. The Stethoscope identifies breathing issues, including growling lung sounds that signal immediate danger. The X-Ray reveals internal damage and contraband, which still affects final decisions even if infection is not present. The Matioscope is used for detailed eye checks when needed.
Using these tools improves inspection quality and prevents edge cases from slipping through.

Final Review Before Making a Decision
Before choosing Admit, Quarantine, or Liquidate, take a moment to review all logged symptoms. The game checks whether symptoms were identified, tools were used, and decisions matched the evidence.
Rushing this step often leads to correct decisions paired with poor inspection ratings.

Why This Routine Works
A perfect inspection in Quarantine Zone: The Last Check is about consistency. The game rewards players who follow the same order every time, mark every symptom, and rely on tools instead of guesswork. Speed comes naturally once the routine becomes muscle memory.
If inspection ratings are low, the fix is simple. Slow down, walk all the way around the survivor, use every available tool, and click everything that looks suspicious. Do that consistently, and perfect inspection ratings become the standard instead of the exception.
