Hello players!
Everyone seems to be craving that Chicken Dinner so we've prepared an extra big dish for you - meet a real-life Monster Chicken ravaging the streets of Karakin in this LABS update, Monster Chicken Royale! Not only will you have to be wary of enemy players, but you'll also have to watch out for that monstrous beak's deadly pecks, earsplitting cock-a-doodle-doos, and yes, fiery breath attacks.
Basic Rules
- Monster Chicken Royale follows the same ol' battle royale rules, but with an extra enemy - the Monster Chicken - squeezed in between.
- Once a match starts, the Monster Chicken (50 meters tall) will spawn and start roaming on the map.
- The Monster Chicken can attack as well, and with each phase its attack patterns will vary.
- Players can observe the Monster Chicken's location any time through the chicken-shaped icon on the World Map.
- Every player will also have the HP bar of the Monster Chicken displayed on their screen.
- HP bar will deplete when Monster Chicken receives damage.
- The way to earn that Winner Winner Monster Chicken Dinner is very simple: Either make the Monster Chicken's HP hit 0 or like usual, be the last one standing by eliminating every foe player on the Battlegrounds.
