Our Escape from Duckov Walkthrough is the perfect place to get your bearings if you’re struggling to make it out of Duckov alive. It breaks the game down into easy-to-follow sections — from mission maps that show every route and extraction point, to trader quests that explain what to prioritize and when.
Walkthrough disclaimer
Escape from Duckov contains multiple randomized systems — including loot, maps, weather, and other procedural elements — so your runs will often differ from mine. This walkthrough documents my personal playthrough and offers suggestions about which upgrades I prioritized. Use it as a helpful reference, not an exact blueprint; expect variation and adapt your choices to how your run plays out.
Tip: treat recommendations here as priorities, not strict rules — RNG can change what’s best on any given run. For a complete walkthrough and other parts click – Escape from Duckov Complete Walkthrough

At 7:00 AM this day I headed out to Ground Zero again.
Location: Ground Zero
I took the left path towards the Forest Path.
On the way, I looted some bolts and found a Duck Egg needed for the quest, Balanced Nutrition I.
So, I headed to Mud’s house near the lake, around the first bridge leading to Road Camp. On the way I cleared multiple enemies – ducks and dogs. Handing in the quest to Mud unlocked the quest, Balanced Nutrition II.
Quest: Balanced Nutrition II
Location: Any Location
Objectives: Submit 1 Soda Crackers.
I left the house and made my way north towards Forest Path again. I cleared a few camps along the way. Picked up attachments for my weapons and equipped them. Finally I reached the camp (you will see a red car in the encampment) needed for the quest, Supply Route and marked the crates with a marker.
Heading past Forest Path towards Northwest camp, I looted a Soda Cracker that I needed for the quest, Balanced Nutrition II.
I headed back to Mud’s house to hand in the quest. I could now pick up the quest, Balanced Nutrition III.
Quest: Balanced Nutrition III
Location: Any Location
Objective: Submit 1 Red Band Cigarette.
I had one on me so I handed it in. This unlocked the quest, Fitness Coach.
Quest: Fitness Coach
Location: Bunker
Objective: Build Gym
Next up, I started using ADS by holding down the right mouse button to do Headshots on the enemies.
I needed to take out 5 enemies like this for the quest, Aim for the head. I was looting bolts and nails, as many as I could find. These are needed to build more stations at the bunker. I found an IV medicine as well – which was needed for the medic station. I then headed for Road Camp. Took out some ducks in between the parked cars as I approached the entrance.
Near the shed on the right, I found a recipe for Animal Trap in a data box. Going up ahead, I found a small building where I looted a lot of different components. Mainly a key to the Farm Town Restaurant, a key to an office in the factory area, a recipe for a power cord and ink for the Bookkeeping quest.
I decided to try and avoid the main entrance into Road Camp and took the southern route.
I ran into black ducks here, with smgs. High rate of fire enemies, best to dodge and pop them. They have armor on, so its best if you use AP bullets if you have them.
This is also where I ran into the first area boss, Pato Chapo. Unless you have an assault rifle, do not attempt to fight the black ducks or Pato Chapo. They have extremely high rates of fire and you have limited stamina. Once I took care of them, I looted a Lv 3 Body Armor, a pressure sensor, a Crimson Core and an upgraded AK-47. I also picked up a gem from one of the boxes. Power of Wishlist.
I then activated the beacon in the middle of the camp.
I picked up a First Aid Kit recipe here too. Around the camp I looted a Vector, a MF, upgraded bullets and more attachments. Cleared a bunch more enemies here with headshots to finish the quest, Aim for the head. I was encumbered at this point so I extracted out.
I handed in the quests, Aim for the head and picked up the quest, Generic Pistol from Jeff.
Quest: Generic Pistol
Objective: Submit 1 PM pistol
I handed this in immediately to pick up the quest, Strange Feather.
Quest: Strange Feather
Location: Any Location
Objective: Submit 4 Fading Feather
I had enough, so I submitted this immediately too. Next, I built a Gym.
I upgraded High Knees, which gave me +2% mobility and Pushups which gave me 5% Melee DMG multiplier.
I handed in the quest, Fitness Coach to mud and picked up three more quests.
Quest: Medical Assistance
Location: Any Location
Objective: Submit 2 Honey, 2 IV medicine, 2 Toilet Cleaner.
Quest: Self-Sufficient
Location: Any Location
Objective: Submit 3 UV light
Quest: Professional Chef
Location: Any Location
Objective: Submit 1500 Currency.
I handed in the quest, Professional Chef right away. I sorted out my inventory next and equipped the Ninja Totem. I bought some Cocoa Milk from the vending machine and upgraded Jump Rope which gave +4 to my stamina.
I went to the Enhancer next and upgraded Backpack Expert II which gave me +4 backpack space. Next I kitted out a MF with all available attachments.
I then handed in the quest Supply Route to the Armor Shop and picked up the quest, Cut off my Profits.
Quest: Cut off my Profits
Location: Any Location
Objectives: Kill 5 Scavengers, 3 Rampaging Scavengers.
I had time left today, so I decided to head out to Ground Zero again.
This concludes this part of the walkthrough for Escape from Duckov.
