Downloading Mods — Stay Smart, Stay Safe

✅ Verify the Source

  • Stick to trusted platforms like the Steam Workshop or well-known, reputable third-party mod sites.

  • Avoid unofficial or suspicious file-sharing websites with no clear reputation or moderation.

⚠ Beware of Paid Mods

  • Mods are meant to be freely shared by the community.

  • If a mod asks for payment, it’s very likely suspicious or scammy — do not download it.

👥 Choose Popular, Well-Supported Mods

  • High download counts and active user comments usually mean better quality and fewer risks.

  • Be cautious with obscure or rarely downloaded mods with little to no community feedback.

💬 Your fellow Ducklings’ reviews and ratings can be a great guide!

Installing Mods — Best Practices

💾 Back Up Your Saves

  • Always back up your game save files before installing any mods.

  • This helps prevent permanent loss of progress if something goes wrong.

🦠 Scan Mod Files

  • If a mod requires extraction or installation outside the game, scan the files with antivirus software first.

  • This helps protect your system from malware or viruses disguised as mods.

📂 Know Where Your Mods Are Stored

  • Default Mod Folder Path:
    [Escape From Duckov Installation Directory]\Duckov_Data\Mods

  • For Steam Workshop Mods:
    Go to Your Files → Subscribed Items → Click Unsubscribe to remove them completely.

🧪 Test One Mod at a Time

  • Enable one mod at a time to easily spot conflicts or issues.

  • Installing too many mods at once can make it hard to identify which one is causing problems.
