[/expand] All rubber duckies have a new type of armament— splashy mines. Laying these mines is similar to dropping depth charges; however, the mines do not submerge underwater. The mines explode a little while after being laid or upon contact with other duckies, and they can cause flooding. In addition to mines, the rubber duckies are armed with familiar weapons that have been specifically stylized for the event. The exact armaments depend on the duck type:
Destroyers are armed with fizzy torpedoes and high-explosive bubbles.
Cruisers are armed with high-explosive bubbles.
Battleships are armed with armor-piercing bubbles.
High-explosive bubbles don't cause fires, but they do have chances of causing flooding.
Since the duckies are made of rubber, they won't take any ramming damage. If they collide with each other or other objects on the map, they will simply bounce off, gaining a speed boost.
All ducks also have special equipment.
| Sticky Bandage Stops flooding; prevents the spread of bacteria. It's not a medicine and it has limitations. Consult with a specialist before using. | |
| Air Pump Partially restores the duck's HP and lifts its spirits. | |
| Engine Whoosh Increases the duck's maximum speed and determination. |
Special duck Commanders with animated portraits will take the helms of the duckies. [hr]
