Quest Rewards: Is It Worth It?
Before you risk your gear, here is what you are fighting for. This quest is a “gatekeeper” quest, meaning you must complete it to progress the storyline.
| Reward Category | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Experience | 12,500 XP | Great for leveling past Lvl 15. |
| Trader Rep | +0.05 (Mechanic Duck) | Unlocks Loyalty Level 3. |
| Items | 2x Military Circuit Boards | Needed for the Hideout upgrade. |
| Unlocks | Purchase: 5.56x45mm AP Ammo | The main reason to do this quest. |
Are you wandering around the map looking for a spaceship? Stop. Despite the sci-fi name, the “Interstellar Navigation” quest in Escape from Duckov has nothing to do with space travel. It is a notorious “fetch quest” that requires you to locate a hidden Safe Key in the East Road Camp and retrieve blueprints from the heavily guarded Warehouse District.
Many players get stuck here because the in-game objective text is misleading. However, completing this quest is critical for the upcoming 2026 Crossover Update, as it unlocks essential high-tier trading. In this guide, we will show you exactly where the key spawns, how to survive the Pato Chapo boss fight, and exactly what rewards you get for surviving the extraction.

Step 1: Where to Find the “Interstellar Navigation Safe Key”
The first hurdle is the key. The in-game description is vague, but the community has confirmed the primary spawn point. The Safe Key spawns exclusively in the East Road Camp area.
01
Locate the West House
Go to the western side of the camp. Look for the distinct structure with the blue tarp on the roof.
02
The Wooden Table
Inside the main room, check the small wooden table next to the overturned chair.
03
The Spawn Rate
It is currently estimated at around 35%. If it’s not there, check the secondary spawn in the Ravine Guard Shack.
Un consiglio da professionista: As soon as you grab the key, put it in your Secure Container. Even if you die, you keep the key. This area is patrolled by Scav Ducks, so use a suppressed weapon to avoid drawing aggro.
Step 2: Infiltrating the Warehouse & The Safe
Once you have the key, head to the Warehouse Map (Industrial District, North Side).
- Find the Small House: Look for a dilapidated brick house near the Ravine edge, just outside the main warehouse perimeter wall.
- The Safe: Inside the house, under the metal bed frame, you will find the locked safe.
- The Loot: Unlock it to retrieve the “Navigation System Blueprints”.
⚠️ Boss Warning: Dealing with Pato Chapo
Be extremely careful. The Warehouse area is the territory of Pato Chapo, one of the game’s more aggressive bosses.
!
Behavior: He roams between the Warehouse entrance and the Ravine.
!
Loadout: He usually carries a modified RPK-16 and wears Class 5 armor.
!
Strategy: Do not engage him in the open. If you hear his signature aggressive voice line, flank him through the vents. You just need the blueprints; you don’t need to be a hero.

Editor’s Note (Feb 3, 2026)

FAQ: Common Quest Glitches
Q: Is the Safe Key a guaranteed spawn?
A: No. It has a ~35% spawn rate. You may need to reset the raid multiple times.
Q: Can I buy the key on the Market?
A: Yes, but due to pre-update inflation, it costs around 45,000 Duck Coins. Farming it is recommended.
Q: Why is the Safe empty?
A: If the safe is empty, another player looted it. However, the Blueprints are a client-side quest item—if you have the quest active, they should be there even if the safe is open. If not, restart your game client.
Conclusione
The “Interstellar Navigation” quest tests your patience and map knowledge. Don’t let the misleading name throw you off. Grab the key, hug the walls, and extract with those blueprints.
