Secured zones in Escape From Duckov demand corresponding keys for entry. These single-use items vanish upon access, necessitating replacements for re-entry. To bypass this limitation, players can permanently store keys at their base, enabling repeated use without inventory burden.
Below outlines the registration process for these essential items.
Key Registration Process Explained

Constructing a Key Registry Terminal at your base enables permanent key storage. This crucial facility becomes available early through crafting, with the following components required:
- Circuit Board: Locatable in storage crates, particularly from dismantled electronics
- CD Drive: Frequently found among computer hardware components
- Metal Plates (x2): Commonly extracted from industrial containers
Assemble these materials at any workshop bench to create the terminal. Once operational, deposit keys into the device – this permanently consumes them but grants unlimited digital access. Remember that duplicate keys cannot be archived in the system.
Strategic Benefits of Key Registration
Immediately archive all discovered keys for long-term advantages. Locked compartments often contain premium loot, accelerating gear progression. Certain special keys (like story-critical Case Keys) remain exempt from registration and must be carried physically for specific interactions.
