Escape from Duckov has quickly become a favorite among indie game fans, mixing humor, chaos, and survival in a world full of deadly ducks and post-apocalyptic mayhem. Behind its funny exterior lies a brutal challenge where the right gun can mean the difference between survival and defeat. In this guide, we’ll break down the best early weapons, how to compare guns, and the proper way to dismantle ammo for the Mosquito Elimination quest.
Best Early Weapons to Use in Escape from Duckov
Once you step into the harsh world of Escape from Duckov, you’ll realize that even the smallest mistake can be costly. Picking the right weapon early can make your progress much smoother. Out of all the available gear, the AK-74U and UZI stand out as top choices for new players.
AK-74U
- Unlock Method: Complete the quest “Parts Wholesale.”
- Sold by: Xavier in the Weapon Shop.
- Cost: 1,510.
- Attachment Slots: 3 (Scope, Muzzle, Magazine).
- Advantages: Inexpensive, powerful for the early game, good range, and easy to unlock.
- Drawbacks: Noticeable recoil and bullet spread, making it harder for automatic firing.
The AK-74U is a reliable weapon that offers great value for its cost. With solid firepower and range, it’s an excellent starting gun once you get used to managing its recoil.
UZI
- Unlock Method: Automatically available after building the Weapon Shop.
- Sold by: Xavier in the Weapon Shop.
- Cost: 3,473.
- Attachment Slots: 3 (Scope, Tactic, Magazine).
- Advantages: High fire rate, accurate, and suitable for both short and medium-range fights.
- Drawbacks: On the expensive side, which may slow your base upgrades.
If you like quick and precise gunplay, the UZI delivers strong performance, though its higher price tag might make it a secondary choice until you stabilize your resources.
How to Compare Weapons in Escape from Duckov
At the moment, Escape from Duckov doesn’t allow side-by-side weapon comparisons. You can only check one weapon at a time in your inventory and manually note the stats for comparison. While this system isn’t the most convenient, focusing on core stats like damage, recoil, range, and available attachments can help you decide which weapon suits your playstyle better.
Many players are hoping for a comparison feature in future updates, but for now, memorizing or jotting down stats is your best option.
How to Dismantle Ammo – Mosquito Elimination Quest
During the Mosquito Elimination quest, you’ll be tasked with dismantling bullets, but the process isn’t clearly explained. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you through it:
- Craft a Basic Workbench.
- Open the Workbench and select Upgrade (avoid the Craft menu).
- Unlock the “Disassemble Station” upgrade.
- Requires the Advanced Processing upgrade first.
- After upgrading, a Dismantle Items option will appear when you use the Workbench.
Once that’s done, you can break down ammo and weapons into crafting materials. Regular bullets will convert into gunpowder, which is what you need to complete the quest.
Despite its silly premise, Escape from Duckov offers deep gameplay mechanics that demand strategy and preparation. The AK-74U and UZI remain your most reliable weapons for surviving the early stages, while upgrading your Workbench will open up more crafting and dismantling options later on.
Even though comparing weapons isn’t yet supported, learning how to manage your equipment and resources will give you an advantage in this chaotic world. Stay armed, stay sharp, and get ready to face the craziest ducks you’ll ever encounter.
