Escape from Duckov’s Bitcoin Miner is a sought-after upgrade for steady in-game income, but building it involves several steps and a bit of luck.

Collecting the components for your Bitcoin Miner
You're required to gather a range of rare components before unlocking this build in your hideout. Item locations and required amounts may change across runs, but here's the current recipe and how to get each piece:
| Item Name | Amount | How to Obtain |
|---|---|---|
| Money | 18,000 | Sell loot and complete quests |
| Intel File | 3 | Loot from random boxes in any region |
| Military Handheld Radio | 1 | High-tier crates in Warehouse Area or Farm Town |
| Portable Hard Drive | 3 | Loot from random boxes |
| Circuit Board | 3 | Box loot or craft in hideout |
| Power Bank | 3 | High-tier crates |
| Computing Core | 3 | Nighttime Spider Robots only |
| Cables | 4 | Random box loot |
| Power Cord | 4 | Buy at hideout or loot from boxes |
Enemies may drop these pieces as random loot, but only Spider Robots (which spawn at night) consistently drop Computing Cores, so night runs are advised for farming these specific parts.
How to set up the miner and boost your yield
Once you have the necessary components, build the Bitcoin Miner in your hideout's upgrade menu. You’ll need to:
Step 1
Unlock the blueprint by progressing your base far enough and acquiring all listed components.
Step 2
Visit locations like Farm Town and the Warehouse Area for tougher crates and Spider Robots to complete your loot list.
Step 3
Craft any craftable items, such as Circuit Boards, at your hideout workbench to save time.
Step 4
When everything’s ready, assemble the miner in your hideout. The construction unlocks new slots for graphics cards.
Step 5
Install graphics cards. Potato Cards can be crafted; high-end cards are usually looted on raids. More (and better) GPUs mean faster mining rates.
How to maximize profits and manage mined Bitcoin
After setup, mined Bitcoin appears in your Bitcoin Miner slots. Simply collect coins and sell them at vending machines or to the Mysterious Merchant for instant credits. Stack extra graphics cards in the miner whenever possible for higher rates, but expect occasional replacements for worn-out cards. Selling excess electronics, graphics cards, and rare loot at vending machines also boosts cash flow.
Step-by-step: Building and optimizing Bitcoin mining
Step 1
Complete hideout progression until Bitcoin Miner is unlocked.
Step 2
Farm required components by looting, defeating enemies, and crafting.
Step 3
Focus nighttime efforts on Spider Robots for Computing Cores.
Step 4
Once all items are gathered, craft and install the miner in your base.
Step 5
Fill all miner slots with the best graphics cards for faster yield.
Step 6
Collect and sell Bitcoins regularly for steady upgrade funds.
Where to sell and how trading works
Bitcoins and other valuable electronic loot can be sold at vending machines within your base or safe areas. The Mysterious Merchant, located in Ground Zero’s Small Hill, is another option for higher rates if you’re looking to convert Bitcoin and rare loot into credits.
| Sell Location | Bitcoin Sale Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vending Machine | 8,000 credits | Quick, instant sale |
| Mysterious Merchant (Small Hill) | ~1,298 per cash | Best for rare loot |
Mined Bitcoins are extremely valuable for late-game upgrades, so prioritize them over common loot.
