What To Do With the Reflex Hammer In Quarantine Zone
The Reflex Hammer is the third tool you obtain in the game Quarantine Zone. You’ll use it to test the reflexes of survivors.

Reflex Hammer
The reflex hammer is meant to be used either on the arms of a survivor or the legs. You’re not supposed to do body shots or thunk them on the head because you’ll damage them and I guess that’s frowned upon in case they’re clean of infections.
I suspect you could kill someone with the hammer if you strike them enough times.
The only time I smacked someone was when they were on the walk of shame to the Liquidation. I’ve never tested it further.
What you’re really looking for are four reflex types.
- The normal reflex is one you don’t have to worry about logging into the database of symptoms. It’s when they have a normal reaction to being struck.
- Absent reflex is when they don’t have much of any kind of movement when you thwack a limb of theirs.
- Hyperaggressive reflex is when they smack you for leaving that fresh bruise on their limb.
- Crossed reflex is when they flinch with the opposite limb that you struck.
When you do hit a survivor with the hammer, sometimes they’ll grunt and other times they don’t make much of a sound. This isn’t a key indicator of any kind of symptom, it’s just person dependent. High pain threshold versus low pain threshold, you could say.
I mean, you are hitting them pretty hard and leaving a bruise on their skin. If you keep hitting the same spot the bruise will get darker.
So if you’re ever wondering where that new mark came from…it came from you.
