Spawning Chickens In Gears 3: A Guide

how do you spawn the chicken in gears 3

In Gears of War 3, chickens are a common Easter egg animal. There are several ways to spawn a chicken in the game. One way is to start on Act 4 Chapter 1 on Insane and complete Respect for the Dead to gain access to Griffins Stash. A chicken in a pirate hat will spawn in the stash to the right. Another way is to play through to Act 4 Chapter 2 and walk to the car with an ammo box on it, causing it to fall off. Then, play until you find a train track and walk up to the ammo box at the end, which will cause the tracks to fall off. Finally, at the beginning of Act 4 Chapter 3, clear the first area of enemies and run straight to find a tower of boxes with an ammo box on top. Kicking the box will cause it to fall off the edge, and a chicken will spawn.

Find the four tubes in Act One Chapter Two

To find the four tubes in Act One Chapter Two, you must first raise the lift so that the Raven can land. Once the Raven has landed, you should see four tubes, two on each wall. Walk up to each tube and wait until your character shouts "Hello?" down the tube. Once you have shouted down all four tubes, a chicken should appear from one of them.

Shoot the arcade game

To spawn the chicken in Gears of War 3, players must first complete a series of tasks and reach Act 4 Chapter 1 on Insane. Here is a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Respect for the Dead

Complete the "Respect for the Dead" objective to gain access to Griffin's Stash.

Step 2: Find the Chicken in Griffin's Stash

In Griffin's Stash, a chicken wearing a pirate hat will spawn to the right. Interact with the chicken.

Step 3: Proceed to Act 4 Chapter 2

In Act 4 Chapter 2, you will find a car with an ammo box on it. Walk up to the car, causing the ammo box to fall off.

Step 4: Follow the Train Tracks

Continue playing until you find a train track. At the end of the track is another ammo box. Walk up to it, causing the tracks to become unsteady and the ammo box to fall.

Step 5: Reach Act 4 Chapter 3

In Act 4 Chapter 3, clear the first area of enemies. Run straight ahead, and you will find a tower of boxes with the third and final ammo box on top. Kick the box, causing it to fall off the edge.

Step 6: Shoot the Arcade Game

At this point, a chicken should fly up on a bird plane made of ammo boxes. It will drop four unique Boomshots, known as Cluckshots, which fire explosive chickens.

It is important to note that shooting the arcade game will cause it to break, and it will only work if Marcus kicks it.

In addition to the above method, there are other ways to encounter chickens in Gears of War 3. For example, in Act I: Chapter 1, after raising the lift for an incoming chopper, players will find four circular vents. Interacting with these vents will summon a chicken, which can then be battled.

Chickens are a common Easter egg in Gears of War 3, and players can discover them in various locations and forms, such as the Lambent Chicken and the Golden Chicken.

Find the chicken in Act Four Chapter One

To find the chicken in Act Four Chapter One of Gears of War 3, you must first complete "Respect for the Dead" to gain access to Griffins Stash. This will only spawn a chicken on Insane difficulty. Once you've done this, a chicken in a pirate hat will spawn in the stash to the right. Interact with the chicken, and then progress through to Act 4 Chapter 2.

At the start of Chapter 2, there will be a car with an ammo box on it to your left. Walking towards the car will cause it to fall off, along with the ammo box. Continue playing until you find a train track, and at the end of it, there will be another ammo box. Walking up to it will cause the tracks to fall, taking the ammo with it.

Then, at the beginning of Act 4 Chapter 3, clear the first area of enemies and then run straight—you will find a tower of boxes with the third and final ammo box on top. Kick the box, and it will fall off the edge. Moments later, the pirate chicken will fly up on a bird plane made of ammo boxes and drop four unique Boomshots, labelled as Cluckshots, which fire explosive chickens.

Find the chicken in Act One Chapter One

To find the chicken in Act One Chapter One of Gears of War 3, you must first raise the lift for the incoming chopper. Once you've cleared out the enemies, look for the four circular vents. Walk up to each one and wait until Marcus calls out. After you've investigated all four, a chicken will appear. Attack the chicken, and it will turn into a giant chicken. If you defeat the giant golden chicken on Insane difficulty, you can find the Cluckshot in Chapter 1.

After the battle, head to the CIC and listen to Prescott's message. Continue through the chapter until the large circular lift is raised. Instead of going left, go right and over the barrier. Climb up the stairs to find the game's first Cluckshot near a corpse on the catwalk.

In the same chapter, after the Gear raises the platform for you, look to the right to see graffiti that says "pray for death" and "where is victory?". Jump over the barriers in front of the graffiti and go up the stairs. At the top, you'll find a dead Gear with some frags and a Cluckshot next to him.

Find the chicken on the Cove map

To find the chicken on the Cove map in Gears of War 3, you need to follow a series of steps. Firstly, start on Act 4 Chapter 1 on Insane difficulty and complete the "Respect for the Dead" objective to gain access to Griffin's Stash. Here, you will find a chicken wearing a pirate hat. Interact with the chicken and proceed to Act 4 Chapter 2. At the start of this chapter, you will see a car with an ammo box on it. Walking towards the car will cause it to fall off, along with the ammo box.

Next, continue playing until you find a train track. At the end of the track, there will be another ammo box. Walking up to it will cause the tracks to become unsteady, and the ammo will fall off. Finally, at the beginning of Act 4 Chapter 3, clear the first area of enemies and run straight ahead. You will find a tower of boxes with the final ammo box on top. Kick this box, and it will fall off the edge.

After knocking down the final ammo box, a chicken will fly up on a bird plane made of the ammo boxes you knocked down. This chicken will drop four unique Boomshots, known as Cluckshots, which fire explosive chickens.

Additionally, there is another chicken-related Easter egg on the Cove map. This involves finding and defeating a giant, fire-breathing golden chicken. To do this, follow these steps:

  • In Act I: Chapter 1, after raising the lift for an incoming chopper, you will engage in a battle on the ship's deck. Clear out the enemies and look for four circular vents.
  • Walk up to each vent and wait until your character calls out. After investigating all four vents, a chicken will appear.
  • Attack the chicken, and it will transform into a giant, man-sized chicken.
  • Defeat the golden chicken on Insane difficulty to unlock the Cluckshot in Chapter 1.
  • After the battle, head to the CIC and listen to Prescott's message.
  • Continue through the chapter until you reach a large circular lift.
  • Instead of taking the lift, go to the right and climb over the barrier.
  • Climb up the stairs to find the Cluckshot near a corpse on the catwalk.

The Cove map also features the Lambent Chicken Easter egg. To activate this, enter Beast mode and try to kill all the chickens on the map. The sky will turn red, and a giant rabbit head will appear in the centre of the map. Shoot the rabbit's eyes until the pupil explodes, causing a door to open. Inside, you will find a giant egg. Shoot the egg until it cracks open, revealing a golden chicken that morphs into the Lambent Chicken.
