The Duck Journal is a community-created action item for all classes. It is a yellow, rubber duck attached to the torso of the player wearing it. This item increases the drop rate for ducks and has a counter labeled Duckstreaks.
Equipping the Duck Journal will allow the player to earn Duckstreaks, which functions similar to a Killstreak Kit but with no added visual effect. Instead of counting kills, it counts the total number of ducks created by the player from killing opposing players. All kills obtained while under the effect of a Duckstreak will show a duck and the current total number of ducks created by the player in the kill feed.
The Duck Journal was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
Description
Normal ducks will share the skin and team coloration of the class they were dropped from; while bonus ducks have the Quackston Hale skin, and are larger than normal ducks.
The Duck Journal possesses both a unique Killstreak counter (known as a Duckstreak) and unique rankings, similar to a Strange weapon. Duckstreaks are announced in a manner identical to killstreaks, with duck-related rankings such as 'Unflappable' instead of 'Unstoppable'.
Using a Duck Journal with the Action Item button will cause a quacking sound to play, similar to a Noisemaker.
Viewing the Duck Journal leaderboards (done by using the Duck Journal from the inventory) will display the Duck XP and Duck XP Levels in relation to the Steam Friends list. There is also a section for showing the breakdown of the Duck XP into the categories listed below.
Ranks
The Duck Journal ranks up via interacting with ducks dropped by teammates and the opposing team. Duck XP is broken down into the following categories:
- Captured: Collecting ducks that were dropped by the opposing team will award 3 Duck XP each.
- Created: Ducks created from killing members of the opposing team will award 3 Duck XP each.
- Objective: Collecting ducks that were spawned from doing objectives will award 3 Duck XP each.
- Quackston Hales: Collecting bonus ducks (which are announced by Merasmus when they spawn) will award 50 Duck XP each.
- Recovered: Collecting ducks that were dropped by teammates will award 1 Duck XP each.
- Team Captured: Teammates that collect ducks that you created will award 3 Duck XP each.
The current rank title forms the prefix of the item name; e.g. a Duck Journal at Duck XP Level 3 will appear as "Fairly Fowl Duck Journal". This process is similar to the process of Strange weapons. Ranking up a Duck Journal is done via collecting 5000 Duck XP over any period of time, at which point the rank up will be announced in a manner similar to a killstreak notification. The Duck Journal's prefix will change and Duck XP will be reset to zero upon a rank up.
