Quick Reaction Force (QRF for short) is a mini event that occurs frequently around Secronom Bunker. It tasks the players with slaying a large amount of dangerous zombies beyond SB-level population, for a high EXP reward.
Spawning
QRF events spawn at the 0th minute of each hour, and lasts for 60 minutes. Unlike Missions, you do not have to sign up beforehand at an outpost to participate.
The locations of QRF currently can only be viewed on the DFP Bossmap.
Objective & Reward
The main objective in a QRF is to simply to kill 800-1000 zombies in the area; this is displayed at the left side of the screen similarly to Missions objectives. Kills are awarded as long as the player has dealt damage to the targets before they die, regardless of who deals the final blow.
Upon completion, the player is rewarded with large amount of EXP, calculated in a similar way as an Outpost Attack bonus (~370 base EXP per zombie, before GM, proficiency and other boosts). Unlike the OA bonus dialog, QRF reward message will not leave out proficiency and other boosts when displaying the final EXP number.
Aggro will stay afterwards until the player has left the block, or the QRF's duration has elapsed.
Bestiary
Two QRF variants exist, one with zombies from the South Eastern Zone and another with zombies from the Wastelands. The aforementioned threats are much more dangerous than Black zone zombies, but also have significantly higher EXP density.

The Quick Reaction Force
The titular Force is a group of 3-5 elite NPCs that spawns inside the event block to assist players. They can be recognized by the Quick Reaction Force clan tag (player clan tags are blue)
- The NPCs' identities are randomly selected from all level 220+ players in the game; they will copy professions, stats, equipment and cosmetics, but not boosts, clan tags and Gold Membership status.
- Thus, it should be possible to encounter a NPC replica of a player in your instance, or even a replica of yourself.
- There is no way to opt out of having your profile selected for QRF NPCs.
- They will use 1 of the 3 weapons equipped by the source players and cannot switch weapons; as a result, they might not always bring the best weapons for the job (ex: Melee Weapons, Rifles, or even Fists)
Kills made by the QRF only count if you have dealt any damage to the targets beforehand, so bringing weapons that can quickly tag zombies quickly (ex: Shotguns, Sub-Machine Guns) should help when fighting alongside the QRF.
