Fortnite launches avian ambush event, new booty feature

Fortnite The last update was launched on March 8 with a new event: the week of avian ambush. This event revolves around birds, more specifically chickens, and how players will interact with them in fortnite. That will see something similar to how the players already interact with them, which implies hunting them, but the problem is that they will now fight when they are attacked. The benefits for players in this event consist of an additional booty through the addition of a new function, as well as a series of avian ambush week challenges that players can complete to get some additional experience.

The two central parts of the update in question are those mentioned above where the chickens attack and throw more booty. However, not all chickens are full up to the edge with valuable equipment for players. To take advantage of them to the fullest, Epic Games said you will have to look for "Loot Chickens" that can be detected by observing the brightness they will emit.

"In the week of avian ambush, chickens are the kings of the ecosystem. They have completely eliminated the sharks, the wolves, the frogs and the wild boars... and now they chase you. " Epic games said about this week's event. "Not only have they become more common, but they are now defended when they are attacked. Do you choose peace with them? Hold one and peck the nearby opponents! You will also see bright chickens called Loot Chickens. Like crows (to whom the chickens forgiven), these chickens wear booty! »

A couple of missions focused on this event are now also active in the game. As they launched on Tuesday, people shared screen captures from them to show what the players will have to do to earn their rewards. It seems that each challenge is live for the same amount of time, and everyone will grant players 8,000 XP when completing them. Spoiler alert: Involve many moments that pass by grabbing chickens.

Once this event is finished, another will replace it next week with its own set of rewards and challenges.

"The week of avian ambush will be extended until March 15, 2022 at 8:59 a. m. ET. After the animal kingdom is restored and terminated the missions of the 'Week Aviar', a new thematic week will begin at 9 a.m. m. Et on March 15! » Epic Games He said. "As in the previous weeks, this week will bring a new batch of special missions».
