Escape from Duckov is one of 2025’s weirdest games, combining the most unlikely of themes, styles, and genres.
And, the devs being great as they are, the game has official mod support, with most mods available through the Steam Workshop. However, it can be challenging to navigate through them all, given that many of them are in Chinese, so their functions are somewhat obscure.
But we’re here to help, and have compiled a list of the best mods you can get to enhance your Escape from Duckov experience.
Here’s all you need to know.

Top Escape from Duckov mods, listed
Co-op mod
You knew I was going to mention it, so let me get it out of the way first. This revolutionary community-made mod enables what is otherwise a singleplayer game to be played in co-op, which allows it to truly encapsulate the extraction shooter experience. Games in the genre are almost exclusively online or co-op, and Duckov‘s signleplayer-exclusive approach just didn’t sit well with many.
Thankfully, modders are there to rescue us out of every plight, and so they made a co-op mod that’s super easy to install and get running. We’ve made a dedicated guide explaining the whole process, so be sure to check it out here.
Display Cash with Money
A small mod indeed, this community creation counts the Cash you have in your inventory as Money that’s displayed in the top part of the screen. Cash and Money are separate entities in the base game but serve the same function and are, essentially, the same thing. With this mod, any Cash you find in the world will be tallied to your total Money, allowing you to keep track of how much dough you have in stock to spend on various weapons, items, and upgrades.
Show Quest Area on Map
Solving quests is an important part of Duckov‘s gameplay loop, and especially so during your initial few hours of the game. However, with relatively few and quite big maps, finding the necessary items and locations associated with particular quests can become daunting and, frankly, boring. With this mod, you should be able to see in which general areas any given quest requires you to be, streamlining the process and enabling quicker, much easier progress.
Quest Tracker
Speaking of quests, this mod will add a permanent quest tracker embedded in your bottom right corner, which lets you freely and easily track your progress in any given quest(s). This removes the need to constantly pause and browse through the relevant quests in the game’s menus, again streamlining and speeding up gameplay through minor quality-of-life additions.
Better Duckov
Sometimes, default values and tweaks done by the developers just don’t do the job of enabling fun and headache-free gameplay. With Better Duckov, you should be able to tweak and configure many of the game’s aspects on your own, including maximum carry weight, stack sizes, durability, and so on and so forth.
The mod, originally in Chinese, now officially has an English-language option, which is enabled by clicking the relevant button at the very bottom of the mod’s configuration screen in-game.
You will find that a lot of these mods are in Chinese or have significant parts in the language, but as the game grows in popularity across the Pacific, many are being updated to support English as well.
Show the Cost! – Item Value Rarity Display
Looting is the name of the game in Duckov, much like it is in any other extraction shooter, but the game fails to indicate well how much any given item is worth or how rare it is. With these two mods, you’ll fix precisely that problem, helping you not to pick up a load of junk, only to figure out it’s basically worthless by the time you scrape by and return to the bunker.
The first mod does as it says: shows the values of any given item you find in the world, telling you exactly how much you can sell it for. On the other hand, Item Value Rarity Display adds a custom “tier” system to Duckov, changing item colors and art to indicate if they are of higher or lower rarity (value), which synergizes well with the other mod.
If you experience mod conflicts, I advise you to stick to the latter, since it does a much better and more creative job at providing extra information to you.
