Dying Light 2 Duck Locations: What Are The Ducks For?
While all the Easter eggs haven't been fully solved yet, thanks to players using cheat engines on the game, we know what the red and black ducks are for.
The red ducks are connected to a secret rideable bike, while the black ducks relate to a DOOM Easter egg in the basement of the VNC Tower that lets you play E1M1 - the very first DOOM level. It's also worth noting that not all ducks have been found yet, which is further obscuring how to activate the secrets they lead to.

Pick the lock on the boot, and inside you will find another black duck among a shrine of blood and heads.

Dying Light 2 Duck Locations: Where Do The Black Ducks Go?
Click to enlargeOnce you have collected all the black ducks, you can use it to activate a secret DOOM Easter egg, which is the E1M1 level from the original game. You need to go to the VNC Tower and head into the elevator. Go down to the basement level and follow the path into the flooded section down the stairs, swim forward until you come out of the water and there should be a open door just in front of you.
Heading through that door and down another elevator onto level zero, will bring you into the secret DOOM room, which has an altar in the middle surrounded by raised platforms. Place the ducks on these five platforms and the generators behind them will glow. You then have to do a wire puzzle, where you assemble them in a pentagram shape. You can follow the pentagram on the altar for a guide on where to place the wires.
Once the wires have been plugged into the generators, the room will shake and in the middle a flame will appear with a gun floating above it. This takes you into the secret combat challenge level called Hangar.
