In the ever-challenging environment of the Quarantine Zone, players often find themselves adhering to strict protocols. However, the quest titled Modern Prometheus invites a daring deviation from the norm. This particular mission revolves around a survivor named Stuart, who arrives at your camp with a rather unsettling piece of baggage—a zombified head. His request? To gather additional chunks of the undead.

To successfully navigate this quest, follow these essential steps:
- Reach day 20 of the campaign
- Allow Stuart entry to the survivor block
- Ensure Stuart remains at the base
- Confiscate body parts from survivor baggage
- Engage in conversation with Stuart after collecting four parts

Upon reaching day 20, you will encounter Stuart, a survivor with a rather peculiar claim about his severed head, which he insists is crucial for an important experiment. While the usual protocol would dictate immediate liquidation for such contraband, you have the option to spare him and witness the outcome of his scientific endeavor.
To proceed with the quest, it is imperative to admit Stuart into the survivor block and ensure his safety until the mission concludes. This entails keeping him secure during evacuation days and protecting him from threats such as starvation, overcrowding, illness, or zombie attacks.

While keeping Stuart alive may seem straightforward, the real challenge lies in sourcing the necessary zombie body parts for his experiment. It’s important to note that bodies from liquidation or the laboratory are off-limits; instead, you must extract them from survivor baggage.
During my initial attempt at this quest, fortune smiled upon me. After conversing with Stuart, I discovered a survivor carrying an entire table of infected body parts. However, the randomness of what survivors carry means that acquiring these severed limbs may not always be so fortuitous. It could take several days to gather enough zombie chunks to assist your scientist friend.
When you do find a body part in a survivor’s baggage, confiscate it before they face liquidation. Be mindful, as handling infected items incurs a fine of 0 for each part taken. While 0 may not seem excessive, it’s crucial to manage your camp funds wisely to avoid a game-ending scenario.

After successfully collecting all four zombie parts, return to Stuart for a discussion. Once the conversation concludes, leave him to conduct his experiment overnight. However, be prepared for an unexpected turn of events. The following morning, you’ll discover that the experiment has gone awry, resulting in Stuart’s demise and a small outbreak of zombies within the survivor base.
To mitigate further casualties, swiftly eliminate the zombies using your pistol or medical hammer. Once the chaos is under control, you can sift through Stuart’s belongings, which include a reward of 0 and a black case containing a severed head collectible. This morbid trophy can be admired back at your command center.
While the Modern Prometheus quest may require considerable effort for a modest profit of just 0, it offers a unique opportunity for those who relish the thrill of completing their collectibles list.
