If you’re stuck at electrified pools or floors in Escape From Duckov, you’re missing one specific item: Rubber Coveralls. The blue suit isn’t for warmth or bullets — it nullifies ground-based electric damage so you can wade “electric water” and clear late‑game chokepoints like the Strange Lab segment in Lab B2 (Defense Field III).

How to unlock Rubber Coveralls
The suit is gated behind the courier line tied to the trader known as Orange. Completing the quest “Promotion to Expert Courier” unlocks Rubber Coveralls for purchase. In practice, you’ll progress through Orange’s delivery missions — including the step that has you complete two courier deliveries — and then the armor vendor will list the blue suit.
- Advance Orange’s courier chain up to “Promotion to Expert Courier.”
- After turning in the quest, check the armor vendor/trader inventory for the Rubber Coveralls.
- If the suit isn’t listed, keep clearing outstanding missions from other traders; quest progression can be picky about unlocks appearing.
Players often see the mission that requires the suit before the vendor reliably offers it. If you’re in that bind, prioritize finishing Orange’s courier tasks first and then recheck the vendor.
Where you need it: electrified floors and “electric water”
Equip the Rubber Coveralls before entering any area with ground electricity. The most notable check is Defense Field III in Lab B2’s Strange Lab, where unprotected characters are instantly punished when stepping into the electrified pools.
- Open your character inventory and equip Rubber Coveralls in the body equipment slot.
- Confirm durability is healthy; a broken suit won’t protect you.
- Move through the electrified ground or water normally — the suit negates the damage.
Troubleshooting: the suit doesn’t show up at the vendor
If you’ve finished courier tasks and still don’t see Rubber Coveralls:
- Verify you completed “Promotion to Expert Courier” from Orange specifically.
- Turn in any partial missions; some unlocks only resolve after your log is clean.
- Run a handful of missions for other traders; the game can delay vendor unlocks until broader progression catches up.
- Revisit the armor vendor periodically; inventories can refresh after quest milestones.
This friction is common — keep pushing trader lines and the listing appears.
Don’t mix them up: “duck” coveralls are different
Real-world “duck coveralls” are made from tightly woven cotton duck canvas, designed for abrasion resistance and cold-weather warmth. They’re not rubber and they don’t provide electrical protection. The game’s Rubber Coveralls are a distinct item with a very specific purpose.
| Item | Material | Primary use | Notable features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rubber Coveralls (in-game) | Nonconductive rubber (body gear) | Immunity to ground electrical damage | Electric Protection +1, light armor, finite durability |
| Dickies Premium Insulated Duck Coveralls (real-world) | 10 oz cotton duck, nylon lining, polyester fill | Warmth, abrasion resistance, water repellency | DWR finish, double knees with ScuffGuard, zip to waist, bi‑swing back, triple‑needle seams |
| Tough Duck Insulated Duck Coveralls (real-world) | 12 oz premium cotton duck, quilted insulation | Cold-weather workwear with rugged reinforcements | Detachable hood, waterproof seat and knees, knee pad pockets, brass hardware, hem extension |
If you’re shopping for physical gear, duck coveralls are great for cold, wet job sites. For Duckov, you need the blue rubber suit to survive electric hazards.
The short version: progress Orange’s courier quests until “Promotion to Expert Courier,” buy the blue Rubber Coveralls from the armor vendor, equip them in the body slot, and walk straight through electrified ground. Swap them off once you’re past the hazard so your combat build stays intact.
