In-game screenshot of the Escape From Duckov bunker (safehouse) interior. Players return here after raids to turn in quests and upgrade gear. Escape From Duckov is a new top-down shooter adventure set in a “realm of ducks”. You begin by waking up in a prison cell and are guided out to the bunker, where you meet Jeff – your first quest giver. From there, multiple NPCs (Jeff, Mud, Orange, Xavier, Vogo, Xiaoming, etc.) assign quests that “range from killing enemies to delivering items, as well as learning various life skills”. In total, there are roughly 190 quests spanning combat, crafting, building, fishing, and story objectives. Our guide below organizes all quests into clear sections for easy navigation and SEO.
