The early moments of Escape From Duckov are brutal. You start with scraps, a few bandages, and a base barely held together — yet every quest you complete slowly transforms your hideout into a functioning survival hub. The game doesn’t hand out progress; you earn it through effort, exploration, and precision.
In this Escape From Duckov Weapon Blueprint Quest Guide, I’ll walk you through every major quest in the release version that unlocks a weapon, item, or blueprint — with each entry including its requirements, walkthrough, and rewards. These are the 13 quests that truly define your growth in Duckov.
Escape From Duckov Weapon Blueprint Quest Guide
Infrastructure
Requirement: None (Starter Quest)
Objective: Collect 2 pieces of wood and construct a Basic Workbench near the vending machine.

Unlocks: Access to base upgrades and key progression quests.
Signal Tower
Requirement: Complete “Infrastructure”

- Money +450
- EXP +2500
Unlocks: The Weapon Merchant setup quest.
Infrastructure 2
Requirement: Complete “Signal Tower”
Objective: Build a Weapon Shop for Mud’s contact — the firearm merchant.

Unlocks: “Parts Wholesale” and further weapon quests.
Parts Wholesale
Requirement: Complete “Infrastructure 2”
Objective: Submit Weapon Parts ×5 and Intermediate Weapon Parts ×2.

Performance Test
Requirement: Complete “Parts Wholesale”

- EXP +2000
Unlocks: Weapon testing credibility with merchants.
Punisher
Requirement: Complete “Parts Wholesale”

- EXP +2000
- Unlock: Laser – Quick Response
