The Ducks Are Back in Quack-tion in this Latest Taste of the Popular Upcoming Persistent World Survi-fowl Shooter
SEATTLE — Aug. 16, 2024 — After two massively successful betas earlier this year, the waterfowls at tinyBuild are back at it again with a third closed beta test for the persistent-world survival PvPvE shooter DUCKSIDE, coming to Steam on September 12. This beta will be the last one before launch, introducing new bird-powered weaponry, furniture, a fabulous pair of dark vision goggles explicitly designed for ducks and a number of other additions derived from the feedback received during the previous betas.

New in Open Beta 3
- Resource Balance Rework – Resources are scarce on the archipelago; this beta will rebalance them for maximum ducking fun.
- Traps, Axes & Land Mines – Our crafty ducks have been hard at work, hatching new ways to defend their bases, scare off the featherless, and even chop wood. This beta introduces the shotgun trap, land mine, and fire axe, all finely formed for feathered fingers.
- Mixing Table -Speed up your crafting with the ability to leave the Mixing Table “at work” when you take flight with your flock on your next mission.
- Super-Cool Glasses -Though ducks have improved low-light vision, it’s not enough for late night missions. Our avian researchers worked with owls to create night vision goggles. These are craftable at a level 2 workbench to give a leg up on the featherless (aka humans) and less-prepared ducks.
DUCKSIDE‘s last open ended with a bang after a meteor crashed into the archipelago, but it was one of the top-played demos during June’s Steam Next Fest. Build a nest, gather supplies, and reach the top of the pecking order in this feathered take on the survival genre popularized by games like DayZ and Rust. You’ll have the featherless quacking in their boots in this battle for survival, but beware: not all ducks can be trusted.
