The Christmas Update is available now!

The festive season is upon us! So for their first Christmas on the DUCKSIDE archipelago, the Ducks are celebrating it in style with a Christmas Update!

Quacked with new features, holiday-themed items, a brand new monument and more. Let’s unwrap the highlights! Read through the end for the full patch notes!

New Monument:

Somehow, someone got a submarine stranded in the middle of the desert. Gross incompetence of whoever was captaining that submarine aside, it holds some valuable loot for anyone brave enough to venture to its heart and extract it…

New Events:

Get ready for some merry mayhem!

1️⃣ Christmas Carol Ghost Event:

Who ya gonna call? Not Scrooge, that’s for sure. The Ghostly Ducks of Christmas yet to come are haunting bases across the archipelago.

Drops new gatherable resource Snow Piece: Used for crafting Xmas themed items!

2️⃣ Santa’s Sled Shooting Event:

Santa (or a feathered non-union equivalent) is visiting to spread joy and cultivate carnage. While shooting "Santa's” sleigh would usually get you put pretty high up on the naughty list, it is the most efficient way of getting your hands on his loot…

The bravest ducks may also find even rarer loot in the sleigh itself…

New Cosmetics & Decorations

Santa Hat

I mean, what other kind of hat do you expect at Christmas…?

Deer Antlers

Become an honorary member of Santa's reindeer alongside Rudolph, Donner, Dancer and whatever the other ones are called!

Snowman Keep a cool head in even the toughest situations!

Krampus Hat

For all the ducks out there that still enjoy christmas but wanna maintain their edgy and mysterious persona.

Door Skin

Nothing says “It’s Christmas” like a wreath on the door of a base that you’re about to turn to rubble. Fireplace Warm those webbed feet by the fire as you await the arrival of santa (or a raider) with a Christmas Fireplace And more! : Christmas lights, candy cane weapons, streamer shotguns and Christmas tree shrines can also be crafted and found throughout the archipelago!

New Buildable:

Snowman: Ever wanted to blow up a snowman with a rocket launcher? Of course you have, and now you can!

(Please note that you don’t actually get anything out of it other than the satisfaction of having blown up a snowman with a rocket launcher)

Snowmen can be built by default.

With this update, we have completed the first phase of our Roadmap and have updated it to reflect our goals for the coming months, which you can see below:

Also, we have put together a player satisfaction survey to help us understand our players experiences with the game, what could be improved, what you would most like to see added and your overall opinion of DUCKSIDE, and we would appreciate it if you could take 10 minutes to help us out here by filling it out
