The map itself has also undergone a huge overhaul with Vaults making a return. These high-security rooms are hidden under the mysteriousSeven Outposts, and they contain loads of Supply Chests with rare weapons inside.

You’ll need to pay a visit to one of these Vaults to complete the new Avian Ambush Quests, but instead of enlisting another player to open it, this time you’ll have to be holding a chicken. Here’s how to do just that.

To open a Vault with a chicken in Fortnite Chapter 3, you first need to find a chicken out in the wild (we’ve got alocation guidethat should help) then travel to anyVault locationhidden around the island.

Vaults can be found at Seven Outposts at the corners of the map. Once you arrive there, you’ll need to search each individual building to see which one has a downstairs area for you to descend into.

Found it? Good. Now, you’ll need tostand in front of the Vault door with your chicken held high above your head, waiting for it to scan you both and eventually allow you to enter.

Normally, you’d need to have at least two players stand in front of a Vault for it to open, but the chicken works as a replacement. Squads require more players, so it might be easier to complete this quest solo.
