Editor’s View: Why This Matters
I specifically wrote this guide because Escape from Duckov relies heavily on local data for offline raids and stash organization. Even if you trust the cloud, please backup your Saved folder manually right now. Don’t lose your Level 6 Armor to a glitch.”
There is nothing worse than completing a high-stakes raid in Escape from Duckov, extracting with a backpack full of legendary loot and keycards, only to have your game crash or your local save file corrupt.
In a tactical extraction shooter like this, “Gear Fear” is real. A lost save doesn’t just mean losing progress; it means losing your entire stash. Whether you want to manually backup your inventory before a risky update, transfer your profile to a Steam Deck for offline raids, or tweak the Unreal Engine 5 config files for better visibility, you first need to find where the data is hidden.
Below is the exact file path for Escape from Duckov on Windows and Steam Deck, along with a safer, automated method to protect your hard-earned gear.

I appreciate the reminder about how important it is to back up data. Losing progress like that in a tactical shooter is frustrating, especially when it’s something you can’t control like a glitch.
