You play as an armed duck in a persistent island survival world. Explore for resources and loot while facing other ducks and hostile human NPCs.
Gather materials to craft weapons and tools, then build shelters and nests for safety and storage. Structures and stashes can be raided or destroyed.
Flight lets you glide, hover, accelerate, and dive around the island, including while shooting. You can survive alone or team up with other ducks to explore, build, and fight.
Some players enjoy the unusual armed-duck premise, flight, and the mix of building and combat, especially with friends. Several describe the game as fun or engaging, but many say sparse servers and a lack of updates make it harder to enjoy or find company.
Over 10 million ducks get killed per year by hunters, a statistic that would be much lower if ducks were combat trained. Enter DUCKSIDE, a persistent world survival game like DayZ or Rust… but you’re a duck, and so is everybody else!!
Wake up at the quack of dawn and put those webbed feet to use or take flight across an expansive island, where valuable resources and egg-citing treasures await any lucky duckys fortunate enough to discover them.
DUCKSIDE isn't just about surviving; it’s about getting into the mind of a duck. Being a duck. Feeling the cold steel of a machine gun on your feathers. The heat of a grenade exploding next to you. And the peace of mind that comes with settling down after a long day, in a house you built out of trash that you’d looted off some guy's corpse. Don’t be a chicken, be a firequacker.
Harvest resources, craft weapons and tools, and build shelters to protect your loot and your life.
How do Ducks even hold weapons and tools, you ask? Who cares silly goose? With a crafting system as deep and robust as this, they were wise to adapt, else they’d just be hanging around in ponds all day waiting to be added to that “10 million” statistic.
Are you really a Duck if you can’t fly? No, you’re a penguin or something. So yes, you CAN fly; we’ve introduced an egg-cellent player controller with sophisticated flight mechanics allowing you to glide, hover, accelerate and dive, even whilst shooting and fighting!
An alive Duck can keep his gear safe and his teammates alive.. A dead duck however, is much less useful. Afterall - birds of a feather stay together.
Don’t be a duckling - get yourself equipped, build nests for safety, storage, survival, and strategic advantage, but be warned: nothing is truly safe. Every structure can be destroyed, every stash of loot raided, and every migration could end in death.
Play alone or create a flock with other ducks to build, explore, fight, and survive together. Ducks are fiercely territorial, so encounters with opposing ducks can and will often result in some feathers being ruffled.
ARE YOU GONNA BE A SITTING DUCK, OR A BIRD OF PREY?
