Research Points, or RP in short, are a crucial currency in Quarantine Zone: The Last Check when it comes to accessing different upgrades, and you’ll need plenty.
Thankfully, there are a couple of great ways to get RP in the game. While the exact methods aren’t explained in the open, this guide will help you get as many Research Points as you might require.
How to get Research Points (RP) in Quarantine Zone
The easiest way of obtaining Research Points is by completing daily investigations. You’ll find new survivors visiting your base daily. Some of them will be clean, while others will be infected. It’s your task to go through the symptoms to differentiate between those who should live and those who should be eliminated.
While you can make a mistake, you won’t want to. Making the correct diagnosis will help you get excellent inspections. An excellent inspection rewards you with nine RP per survivor. Do this multiple times, and you’ll fetch a handy amount of RP.
However, a botched inspection (graded as poor) won’t reward you with any RP at all. That’s why you should always observe a survivor carefully before making a decision.
Another way of earning RP is from extractions. There will be an extraction every six days when you have to send your survivors to a safe zone. If you choose to send them to the lab for further research, you’ll be rewarded with RP. If you choose not to do so, you’ll be rewarded with money. Hence, the decision is on you.
How to complete upgrades in Quarantine Zone

Once you have enough RP, you can start upgrading your tools. But first, you’ll have to upgrade your base (essential if you play the campaign). How you choose to get the remaining upgrades, then, depends on you.
While the upgrades in the beginning are easy to get, the more advanced ones will require more RPs. Unless you’re in dire need of cash, you should send more survivors to the lab for additional Research Points.
