Catch 1 Billion Ducks Calculator — Ducks Per Minute

Grounded estimate only. Official formulas are unpublished. Model shots-to-kill, shot time, reload overhead, and dog collection efficiency to see whether Cash farming is gated by damage or retrieves. Linked from the wiki hub.

Use this after a Freezer sell to decide the next Cash spend: lower shots, raise collection, or fix reload. It does not predict Feathers — those come from night boss performance.

Pivot tip: community notes highlight ~2-shot normals as a major Freezer multiplier — then upgrade the dog so efficiency stays high.
