This guide is designed to help players who are newer to the game and covers topics frequently asked by members of the community.
Introduction
This guide is mainly for newer players, but it also covers some topics that don’t really fit into other guides I have already made.
If you have a question, feel free to leave a comment, and I will do my best to answer it.
Help, I don’t have a play button!
The developers are actively trying to fix this. If it happens, restarting your game should fix the issue.
(side note: actual glitch may look slightly different)
How do I find games?
Finding private games:
You can find private games from the official Discord. Once you’ve read the rules, head to the #LFG-Language channel, select English, and then you will have access to the #LFG channels, which are separated into 18+ and all ages. You can copy and paste the 7 digit code into the “Join Game” option under “Play.”
Finding Public Games:
After selecting “Play” and “Find Games,” you can filter the results by clicking the icon with three horizontal bars in the top left. You can filter by game mode, map, language, type of voice chat, and if the lobby is restricted to players level 25 or more.
How do I get better at the game?
For new players, I would highly suggest checking out the Tutorial section from the main menu. You can complete the tutorial for goose and duck, read the quick description of each role in the game, and explore the available maps. I cannot stress enough how helpful it is at first to use the explore map feature to just wander around the maps and acquaint yourself with various tasks and locations. It is hard to understand what is going on when your surroundings feel completely foreign.
If you aren’t brand new, make sure to read up on the more detailed aspects of each individual map and role. Knowledge is power, and experienced players can often identify the mistakes of newer players because newer players don’t understand something fundamental about a map or role, including certain interactions. Otherwise, just play the game with a variety of players.
How do I fart?
To be able to fart, you must first purchase a fart from the collection and equip it. By default, the F key allows you to fart. On mobile, you fart by clicking on your character. If the sounds of farts bother you, you can enable “silent but deadly farts” from the settings menu.
What are these buttons in the players menu?
Some of these options are only available in public games or to the lobby host.
- Make this player the new lobby host
- Adjust how loud this player’s microphone is on your end
- Report the player for cheating or toxic behavior
- Mute this player’s microphone on your end
- Kick this player from the game
How do I get free gold?
You can get free gold from Daily Rewards and from the Claw Machines. Please be aware that gold drops from these sources are rare because it is the only source of revenue for the game’s development team; GGD is a free-to-play game after all. If you are looking for cheap gold, you can get offers for discounted gold packs after redeeming Twitch drops.
Token/Claw Machine Basics
The claw machines can be found in The Lounge, which means you need to join or create a lobby that is playing the Hanging Out game mode. The machines are in the top right corner of the map.
One machine is free, one can be unlocked with silver, three machines must be unlocked with gold, and the last one is seasonal. Each player must unlock each machine, but the unlock cost is permanent for the non-seasonal machines. You need a certain number of tokens to play each machine, which is dependent on the rarity of the token color.
Tokens have a chance of being dropped after the first 8 tasks completed each game, including fake tasks. You forfeit any tokens earned if you leave the game early. You can also get tokens from Daily Rewards.
How do I unlock cosmetics?
Quite a few cosmetics are locked. These are unlocked by leveling up or completing in-game achievements.
Kill Stingers
A kill stinger is the animation that other players see when you kill them. Each kill stinger is unique to a map or set of maps. You can get additional kill stingers from the claw machines. To change which stinger other players see, you must be in a lobby that is playing one of the maps that corresponds to the stinger you want to select (example: the screenshot above was taken on Ancient Sands). You can either choose a specific one, or you can select random. Here are the four separations of kill stingers:
- Space era (MG/BS/NC)
- Ducktorian Era (MM/GC/TB)
- Jungle Temple (JT)
- Ancient Sands (AS)
What is privacy mode?
Privacy mode is exclusive to private games. It was added to address the issue of players joining lobbies with offensive names, and is primarily intended for streamers. When selected, all players will have a generic name of “Bird 1,” “Bird 2,” etc.
