How to complete Modern Prometheus and find four zombie body parts in Quarantine Zone

Players in the Quarantine Zone can undertake the quest "Modern Prometheus," which involves a survivor named Stuart who arrives with a zombified head and requests additional zombie body parts for an experiment. To complete the quest, players must reach day 20, allow Stuart entry into the survivor block, ensure his safety, confiscate body parts from survivor baggage, and engage in conversation with him after collecting four parts. After admitting Stuart, players must protect him from threats while sourcing the necessary zombie body parts, which cannot be obtained from liquidation or the laboratory. Once all four parts are collected, players discuss the experiment with Stuart, who ultimately meets his demise, leading to a small outbreak of zombies in the survivor base. Players must then eliminate the zombies and can collect a reward of 0 and a severed head collectible from Stuart's belongings.

Quarantine Zone: The Last Check review

Players assume the role of a zombie plague "doctor" in the first-person simulation game Quarantine Zone: The Last Check, set to release on January 12, 2026, for £17. Developed by Brigada Games and published by Devolver Digital, the game allows players to screen survivors at a military outpost during a zombie apocalypse, ensuring they are free from the zombie virus and other ailments while also checking for hidden explosives. Players examine survivors for signs of infection, using various tools to inspect their bodies, but the repetitive nature of tasks may lead to monotony. Additionally, players manage supplies and upgrade tools, although these tasks lack depth. Occasional minigames provide brief diversions, but the core gameplay focuses on conducting medical exams. The game will be available on platforms like the Steam Deck.

Antivirus vs Endpoint Security in 2025: Which Protection Do You Really Need?

In 2025, users must choose between traditional antivirus software and modern endpoint security solutions for their digital safety. Antivirus software has evolved to include machine learning and cloud-based threat analysis, effectively combating various malware types but primarily protects individual devices. It is user-friendly and suitable for casual users but struggles against sophisticated attacks and lacks centralized management. Endpoint security, on the other hand, secures all network-connected devices and employs advanced technologies like AI-driven threat detection and real-time behavioral analytics. It offers proactive monitoring and automated threat responses, making it essential for businesses and professionals handling sensitive information. Endpoint security provides centralized management and a broader range of protections but is typically more expensive and may require technical expertise to set up. The choice between the two solutions depends on individual needs: casual users may prefer antivirus software, while professionals and businesses benefit from the comprehensive protection of endpoint security. As cyber threats become more complex, endpoint security is becoming the standard due to its proactive and automated defense capabilities.
