Quarantine Zone Contraband guide: Which items should you take

Contraband is a thing in Quarantine Zone: The Last Check, as certain survivors will try to smuggle in completely illegal items.

The Contraband feature activates once you’ve progressed through the first few days. You’ll start noticing survivors appearing with bags. When you open these bags, certain items will pop up on the nearby table. Then begins your task of segregating the items based on their nature.

Which items should you take in Quarantine Zone: The Last Check

Whenever you find anything dangerous in the bag, you should snatch it immediately. Here’s a list of items that you should immediately seize.

• Guns
• Bullets
• Modified weapons
• Melee weapons like knives and sticks

Basically, you’ll want to seize anything that can be used by the survivor to attack someone else. Additionally, you’ll occasionally find some survivors who carry infected body parts. You should immediately seize the item and treat the survivor as infected.

Traditionally, a survivor is considered to be infected if they have telltale signs of it. However, a survivor should also be considered infected if they’re found carrying infected organs and body parts.

Which items are safe in Quarantine Zone: The Last Check

Here’s a list of everyday items you’ll find in bags that are entirely safe.

• Books
• Food items (no, don’t take them. You can’t use them in your outpost)
• Soft toys
• Memoribilias
• Occasional rare and personal items
• Gardening items

These items are considered to be safe to carry, and you shouldn’t take them. If you do, you’ll be fined $100 for every wrong item. Since you can’t return what you pick, selecting several wrong items will negatively impact your balance.
