The Halloween update in Escape From Duckov introduces spectral foes called Ghosts, resistant to conventional firearms and melee strikes. These entities wield scythes capable of bypassing high-tier armor with lethal critical strikes, posing a significant threat even to seasoned players.

This guide outlines three specialized tools to neutralize Ghosts effectively:

Strategies for Overcoming Ghosts

Specialized armaments are essential for combating these ethereal enemies:

Psionic Scythe

Ghosts occasionally relinquish their own weapons upon defeat. While the scythe’s damage matches elite alternatives, its slower attack speed makes it a situational choice. Prioritize this weapon if acquired early.

Psionic Gun

This spectral shotgun becomes accessible after finishing the “Phantom Elimination Task.” Players must eliminate eight Ghosts and gather Psionic Matter before purchasing the blueprint. Though resource-intensive, it offers ranged anti-ghost capabilities.

Coin Sword

A premium close-combat solution requiring significant investment. Acquire the blueprint from underground merchants for 66,666 cash, then craft it in your sanctuary. Ideal for quick eliminations on standard difficulty settings.
