Escape from Duckov: Basic Construction Medical Quest – Your First Aid Survival Guide

Building your Medical Station is one of the earliest game-changers in Escape from Duckov. The Basic Construction: Medical quest from Jeff teaches you self-sufficiency in a world where bandages and medkits mean the difference between extraction and respawn. This straightforward mission unlocks crafting capabilities that’ll save you coins and keep you alive through tougher raids ahead.

Escape from Duckov Basic Construction: Medical Overview

Step 1: Gather Your Construction Materials

Before you can build the Medical Station, you’ll need to collect specific materials through raids or vendor purchases. The Medical Station requires two Pile of Medicine, one Syringe, one Sap, and 200 Gold as construction materials.

Pile of Medicine – Found scattered in camps, medical containers, or crafted at an existing Medical Station (3 Aspirin = 1 Pile of Medicine). Check Ground Zero camps, Northwest Camp medical tents, and any houses with medicine spawns.

Syringe – Rare loot found in medical containers or purchased from the vending machine. Keep your eyes peeled during raids in areas with medical supplies.

Sap – Gathered from trees in forested areas or occasionally found in loot boxes. The areas around the lake and North Mountain have reliable tree spawns.

Gold – Earned through completing quests, selling unwanted loot, or extracting with valuable items. By this point in the quest chain, you should have accumulated enough through previous missions.

Step 2: Access the Construction Panel

Once you’ve gathered all required materials, return to your bunker. The construction panel is located next to the vending machine—the same panel you used to build your Workbench during the Infrastructure quest.

Open the construction menu and navigate to the Medical Station option. The Medical Station can be constructed in the construction panel, and as long as you have all materials in your inventory, the build option will be available.

Confirm the construction to complete the quest objective. The Medical Station will appear in your bunker, ready for immediate use.

Step 3: Submit to Jeff and Claim Rewards

After successfully constructing the Medical Station, speak with Jeff to turn in the quest. He’ll reward you with 500 EXP, 150 Gold, and immediately unlock the Medical Supplies follow-up quest.

This quest chain is essential for early-game survival, as it transitions you from relying on purchased or looted medical supplies to crafting your own. For more bunker construction strategies and upgrade priorities, check our complete Escape from Duckov hideout guide.

What the Medical Station Unlocks

The Medical Station is your ticket to self-sufficiency. Once built, you gain access to critical medical crafting recipes:

First Aid Kit (S) – Requires 2 Pile of Medicine + 3 Bandages
Pile of Medicine – Requires 3 Aspirin
Bandages and Aspirin – Available from vending machines

To craft the First Aid Kit, you will need 2 Pile of Medicine and 3 Bandages. Before crafting, you must unlock recipes through Blueprint Research by registering each recipe in the research menu.

This crafting capability becomes crucial during the Medical Supplies quest, where you need to submit 3 First Aid Kits to Jeff. Rather than spending precious coins at vendors or risking dangerous raids, you can craft them safely at your bunker.

The Follow-Up: Medical Supplies Quest

After completing Basic Construction: Medical, the Medical Supplies Quest is unlocked. Jeff’s message is clear: “Medical supplies are essential in Duckov. I need some small medkits right now. You can either search for them or craft at the Medic Station”.

This quest requires submitting 3 First Aid Kits (Small). You have two options:

Option 1: Craft them – Use your newly built Medical Station to craft the kits using Pile of Medicine and Bandages. This is safer and more cost-effective if you have materials stockpiled.

Option 2: Loot them – First Aid Kits spawn in camps, houses, and medical containers throughout Ground Zero and beyond. This method works if you’re already planning raids and want to save crafting materials.

Pro Tips for Early Medical Management

Stockpile Aspirin and Bandages – These vending machine items are cheap and form the foundation of your medical crafting chain. Buy them whenever you have spare coins.

Unlock Blueprint Research Early – Don’t wait until you need to craft something. Register all medical recipes as soon as you find them to avoid crafting delays.

Prioritize Medical Station Before Weapon Shop – While weapons are tempting, healing supplies keep you alive longer during early-game raids when combat is riskiest.

Use Free Medkits Wisely – Save crafted medkits for serious raids. Use found medkits during low-stakes exploration to preserve crafting materials.

Why This Quest Matters for Progression

The Basic Construction: Medical quest represents a turning point in Escape from Duckov. Before this, you’re dependent on random loot spawns and expensive vendor purchases. After completing it, you control your medical economy.

This independence becomes critical as you progress into more dangerous zones like Warehouse, Gas Station, and eventually Ground Zero’s tougher areas. Running out of healing during a boss fight or while surrounded by enemies spells disaster—self-crafted medkits eliminate that risk.

According to the official Escape from Duckov community guides, the Medical Station is considered one of the three essential early constructions alongside the Workbench and Weapon Shop, forming the foundation of successful bunker management.
