The latest Fortnite update has arrived, introducing a delightful new addition: Golden Chickens! These feathered wonders don't just bring charm to the game; they also provide players with valuable gold bars when discovered. With these gold bars, you can acquire a variety of items in Epic Games' globally popular shooter.
If you're still unsure what these are and where to find them, read on our guide below for full details that will hopefully help you understand this new addition better.
Fortnite Golden Chicken locations
- Farmlands: These shimmering birds can often be found roaming the grassy pastures and barnyards scattered throughout the map's farmlands.
- Grassy Areas: The lush and verdant landscapes of Fortnite's grassy regions provide ample hiding spots for the elusive Golden Chickens.
- Greek Mythology Points of Interest (POIs): The newly introduced Greek-themed POIs seem to be a popular haunt for these mythical birds, offering players a chance to spot them amidst the ancient ruins and structures.
What are Golden Chickens in Fortnite?
Golden chickens in Fortnite are not your average poultry. These special birds possess a unique ability: they lay golden eggs. When startled, these birds drop these valuable eggs, which players can collect and exchange for gold bars.
These gold bars serve as a valuable currency within the game, allowing players to purchase a variety of items and services to aid them in their adventures.
Here's what players can purchase with their hard-earned gold bars:
- Vending Machines: Acquire weapons, ammo, and essential supplies from vending machines scattered across the map.
- Healing Machines: Replenish health and shields with healing items available at these machines.
- Midas Vending Machines: Exclusive to this update, these special vending machines offer rare and powerful items for a substantial gold bar price.
- NPC Interactions: Hire NPCs (non-player characters) as allies or purchase their goods using gold bars.
- Golden Weapon Upgrade Service: Enhance weapons to their maximum potential by spending gold bars at the upgrade stations.
What's special about Golden Chickens in Fortnite?
Even though the golden eggs are undoubtedly the main attraction, golden chickens in Fortnite offer more than just valuable loot. Like their regular counterparts, players can utilise them in various ways:
- Harvest Meat: Shooting the chickens provides players with a source of healing meat, offering a quick health boost in a pinch.
- Glide with Grace: Carrying a chicken while jumping grants players a higher jump and a gentle descent, allowing them to traverse terrain safely and potentially avoid fall damage.
- Slow and steady: However, players should be aware that they won't be able to sprint while holding a chicken, forcing them to move at a slower pace. This trade-off ensures that players must weigh the benefits of carrying a chicken against the potential risk of reduced mobility.
The Golden Chicken was definitely a fun addition to Fortnite, as it matches perfectly with King Midas and his golden touch theme. Wait, could it be that this golden chicken was touched by Midas? Or could it be that the Golden Chicken is his pet or something? Who knows! Regardless of it's mysterious origin, one thing is for sure: it is definitely valuable and worth collecting.
So, gear up, hone your instincts, and prepare yourself to embark on an exciting hunt for Golden Chickens in Fortnite!
