Day phase: maximize ducks-per-minute
The only way to get more ducks into the Freezer is to improve how many you shoot per minute. Stand on a slight elevation to engage ducks in a fan pattern, and prioritize the farthest cluster member first.
Selling trade-off
If a duck falls near the Freezer, sell it immediately for Cash. If it falls far away, let the dog carry it while you move toward the next cluster.
Upgrade priority order
For stat upgrades: damage first (kills ducks in fewer shots, saving daytime minutes), freezer storage second, fire rate third, Feather income fourth. For new weapon purchases, fire rate is often the priority for newcomers before damage.
Boss fight tactics
Enter the boss fight at full HP — undergeared players will be one-shot. Dodge sideways (not back) to stay in shot range. After each dodge, fire once or twice before preparing to dodge again.
Feather reward scaling
Feathers awarded from the boss scale with daytime performance: hunting speed, hits taken, and boss clear time. Cleaner, faster boss kills pay more Feathers.
