Guide for Placid Plastic Duck Simulator (2024)

LET'S NOT WASTE TIME

Let's discuss the fastest way to obtain all the achievements, given that there's a few interesting parameters.

• Both of the maps have at least one achievement requiring the Placid Plastic Duck pack (Putting challenge and Campfire simulator, for example). You'll need to do at least one game on both maps with at least the Placid Pack active.
• Ducks, Please and Duck Addiction have achievements requiring interactions between ducks specific to the pack. It's best to do these on save files with just these packs active.
  • They can be completed on either map, but Infinity Cool is a bit better for keeping ducks together.
• Certain achievements can be acquired using any single pack or multiple packs together (On fire, for example).
• Both maps have achievements requiring ducks with certain abilities (Floatpiercer and Hot tub), but all packs have ducks that are able to complete them.
  • Floatpiercer does take a considerable amount of time to set up, so it's best to prioritize it until it's done.
• Certain achievements can be made easier by getting a save file to start giving duplicates (after it gives all ducks once), but this is very RNG dependent and time-consuming.

OPTIMAL ROUTE

You can tackle the game's content in any order, but here's an "optimal" route for gathering all of the achievements in the game without wasting too much time. This route focuses on getting the duck pack specific achievements just using Infinity Cool (at least until the map-specific achievements are done), before moving on to Quacking The Ice to finish up.

Your FIRST SAVE should be Infinity Cool with just the Placid Plastic Duck pack. This will allow you to try for the Infinity Cool / Placid Pack specific achievements without needing to rely too much on RNG.

• Your priority is waiting until all the ducks have entered the pool for the That's all, ducks! achievement, which will take several hours to complete.
• Most (if not all) of the Infinity Cool random events achievements will pop during this run.
• The Floatpiercer achievement can be grabbed once the Knife Duck drops in, but it takes some time for both the duck and the Flamingo Floatie to enter the pool.
• Once you get the Stone Duck and Marble Duck, you can try reloading for the Putting challenge achievement, unless you're waiting for the Floatpiercer achievement.

Your SECOND/THIRD SAVES should be the Ducks, Please or Duck Addiction packs (preferably separate). I'd still recommend Infinity Cool but switching to Quacking The Ice may be helpful depending on your progress.

• I'd recommend sticking with Infinity Cool, mostly to keep ducks close together for their achievement interactions and to keep trying for Floatpiercer (if you don't have it yet).
• If you have Floatpiercer, you can switch over to Quacking The Ice, however you won't be able to grab the Campfire simulator achievement, as this requires the Propeller Hat Duck from the Placid Pack.

Your FOURTH SAVE (if needed) will simply be Quacking The Ice for the map-specific achievements.

• Pack selection shouldn't matter here. You can take just the Placid Pack to specifically target the Campfire simulator achievement, or you can turn on all the packs to help with Hot tub, Scoring challenge or any other achievements you still have to get.
• You'll mostly be waiting for the Scoring challenge and Off-piste ski achievements to finish up.

ACHIEVEMENT BREAKDOWN

Here's a full breakdown of which achievements you'll be unlocking through each save file.

*Achievements can be earned using multiple Duck Packs, either separately or in tandem.

**Duck Addiction includes one Fire duck, but it does not include any Flammable or Water ducks.

And there's the route! The next pages are sorted by Map or Duck Pack to group similar achievements together. It'll take some time, but we have to start somewhere. Good luck on your completion!
