Rats tend to bolt at the slightest hint of danger, making stealth crucial for success. To effectively sneak up on them, you should crouch down. In Quarantine Zone: The Last Check, players can crouch using the Left CTRL key on a keyboard. Alternatively, utilize the B button on Xbox or the O button on PlayStation controllers for the same effect.

If crouching proves challenging, ensure that you disable your sprint mode by pressing the Shift key (on keyboard) or the Left Stick button (on controllers).Only after sprinting is toggled off will you be able to crouch effectively.
