What to know
- The ATM in Escape from Duckov is a base build that lets you deposit and withdraw cash safely between runs.
- You need two specific electronic loot items: a Radio and a Microphone, plus standard materials like metal and wire.
- The specialized parts spawn randomly, with higher likelihood in maps like Ground Zero houses, warehouse safes, and metal lockboxes.
- Building the ATM requires unlocking the Tech Center base building and completing the “Explore Warehouse Area” quest.

Why build ATM at Duck bunker early
Building the ATM early means you can safeguard your earnings and invest steadily without the risk of losing large amounts of cash when a raid goes wrong. Since cash-only vendors exist and base upgrades cost money, having that secure storage helps you advance more smoothly.
Component farming tips
Electronics spawn unpredictably, so focus on loot-dense areas: houses with many containers, safes in residential zones, and warehouse lockboxes. Safes and metal lockboxes tend to yield electronics more reliably than simple crates. Community feedback confirms this — Ground Zero runs tend to offer the best chances.
Build process summary
Once you’ve obtained the Radio, Microphone, Metal, and Wire, go to your base’s workbench or crafting station and craft the ATM. Then place it in your base and deposit cash. After that, you’ll be able to withdraw cash for PvE raids or to spend at cash-only vendors.
| Material | Quantity | Type | Where to find | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Radio | 1 | Electronic Part | Ground Zero houses, safes, office desks | Rare loot — needed for ATM electronics system |
| Microphone | 1 | Electronic Part | Warehouse lockboxes, residential boxes | Commonly paired with Radio spawns |
| Metal | 10 | Crafting Resource | Industrial crates, scrap piles | Standard base material, easily found |
| Wire | 5 | Crafting Resource | Toolboxes, electric panels | Common utility material for base crafting |
| Circuit Board | 2 | Electronic Component | Factory/warehouse containers | Occasionally drops from electronics loot pools |
Usage and strategy
Use the ATM to manage your risk: carry only a portion of your cash into raids, stash the rest. That way, even if you extract poorly or die, you won’t lose everything. When you encounter cash-only vendors or need funds for upgrades, you’ll have immediate access to your stored funds.
| Benefit | Effect |
|---|---|
| Secure cash storage | Protects money from being lost on raid death; you can deposit/withdraw between runs. |
| Easier progression | Save for expensive upgrades, vendors, or purchases without risking all cash on a single run. |
| Flexible risk management | Carry less cash into dangerous raids and retrieve it later, lowering loss risk. |
| Convenience | Quick access to cash when vendors or base purchases require it. |
