The Modern Prometheus mission in Quarantine Zone starts at the operations terminal and demands preparation before entry: stock up on resources, check your gear, and follow the objectives in order — each step unlocks the next, and extraction only happens after completing the main objectives. The full guide below covers the step-by-step walkthrough, what to bring, and how to survive.
Pre-Mission Preparation
- Fill your inventory with healing items: the quarantine zone has no reliable resupply stations.
- Check your primary weapon ammo: starting the mission with a half-empty magazine is the most common mistake.
- Review the region map: mission entry points appear on the map before you accept — choose the access closest to your objectives.
- Bring both a long-range and a short-range weapon: the zone's corridors alternate between distant shots and close-quarters fights.
Before leaving the terminal, also review what you WON'T take: heavy progression items stay in the stash, and the freed space becomes ammo and heals. The Modern Prometheus mission doesn't reward a full inventory — it rewards survival. Every slot occupied by something useless is a slot that could be a potion when you're making your escape.
Understanding Objective Types
The Modern Prometheus mission mixes three objective types: collection (interacting with samples and documents), elimination (clearing marked points), and extraction (reaching the exit). The marker order defines the flow, and each collection unlocks the next point — skipping a secondary objective doesn't block the mission, but it reduces final rewards.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
- Accept the mission at the operations terminal and head to the zone indicated on the map.
- Enter through the marked access point and follow the objective order — the first marker unlocks the next area.
- Use cover in fights: the zone has enemies on fixed patrols, and drawing attention too early pulls in reinforcements.
- Collect secondary items along the way: documents and samples count as bonuses and help your character's progression.
- Head to extraction after the last main objective is complete — the exit point is marked on the map.
Tips to Survive Until Extraction
- Don't rush headlong through narrow corridors: most deaths happen in short-range firefights without cover.
- Listen to radio warnings: zone changes are announced before they happen — the radio warns when an area is about to close.
- Save your best healing item for the escape: extraction can have an ambush, and reaching the exit with no health is the fastest way to fail the mission.
- If you're stuck on an objective, scan the environment: some targets only appear after interacting with nearby devices near the marker.
- Plan your escape route before completing the last objective: knowing where extraction is lets you cut the path instead of improvising on the fly.
What to Do If Extraction Fails
Failing extraction doesn't erase mission progress on all routes: on some entries, the zone closes and you must restart the objective sequence. On others, it's a direct return to the collection point. The rule is the same for both cases: check your inventory before re-entering — without heals and ammo, the second attempt ends the same as the first.
Gear by Mission Phase
In the collection phase, a suppressor is essential: samples and documents are in rooms with few enemies, and silent takedowns prevent the entire patrol from coming after you. In the elimination phase, a high-damage-per-shot weapon beats rate of fire — targets are pinpoint and ammo is finite. In extraction, the deciding resource is healing: bring your best heal kit exclusively for the final stretch.
If inventory space is tight, prioritize in this order: heals, primary weapon ammo, access tools (if required by the mission), and only then secondary items. Many players lose the mission carrying useless loot instead of ammo. The rule applies to all phases: every item in your inventory must justify the space it takes up.
Mistakes That Cost Extraction
- Drawing attention before the marker: every off-schedule fight pulls in reinforcements that end up between you and the exit.
- Using all your heals before the escape: extraction is the most dangerous stretch — reaching it with no resources is handing in the mission.
- Ignoring radio warnings: when an area closes, the return path changes — those who ignore the warning get cornered.
- Saving your best gear "for the next mission": Modern Prometheus is tough enough to demand what you have best.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I abandon the mission midway? It depends on the route chosen — on some entries, the zone closes and extraction becomes the only way out.
- Are secondary items mandatory? No, but they grant progression bonuses and extra rewards at the mission's end.
- Does the mission have a time limit? There's no explicit timer, but areas can be locked down by radio warnings — pacing matters.
- Can the mission be done in a group? Yes, and the group makes covering fire in combat areas much easier.
