Fortnite's v29.01 update received mixed feedback from players since it was smaller than usual. However, despite its size, the update still brought some new content to the game.
One notable addition in the update, alongside the Rise of Midas event, is the introduction of Golden Chickens and Eggs. Gold Bars are highly coveted in Fortnite, and now players have a fresh method to obtain these rare items in the game.
What Rewards Do You Get From Golden Chickens & Eggs?
Both Golden Chickens and Golden Eggs reward players with Gold Bars. Golden Chickens offer a smaller amount of Gold Bars, while Golden Eggs are the real treasure, granting a hefty 350 Gold Bars each. These eggs are laid by various Golden Chickens found across the map. With one Golden Egg, players can afford almost any service in the game, including purchasing high-rarity weapons from Midas Vending Machines.
In contrast, killing Golden Chickens only yields 12 Gold Bars each. Given the significant value of Golden Eggs, players face a dilemma whether to hunt Golden Chickens or not. While Golden Eggs come from Golden Chickens, there's no guaranteed pattern for when they drop them.
Additionally, players can carry Golden Chickens, enabling them to jump higher. Though this ability is also possible with regular chickens, it's a good idea to utilize Golden Chickens for faster traversal across the map. Players can then decide whether to keep them for mobility or later kill them for the Gold Bar rewards.
Where To Find Golden Chicken & Eggs?
Here are the top locations to search for Golden Chickens or Golden Eggs in Fortnite:
- Fencing Fields
- Pleasant Piazza
- Restored Reels
- Reckless Railways
- Snooty Steppes
Golden Chickens are often spotted more frequently around farms near Points of Interest (POIs), particularly in the Fencing Fields area. Players should keep a close eye out in this region. Additionally, they can also check around Pleasant Plaza and Snooty Steppes, where these creatures are known to appear.
As for Golden Eggs, they're also found in areas where Golden Chickens roam, although they're a bit rarer. Once again, Fencing Fields seem to be a prime location for them, but players should thoroughly explore the farms throughout the game to increase their chances of finding them.
