One of Fortnite Season 6's most unassuming new additions is actually the key to one of its wackiest secrets. The chickens now roaming the island may seem useless, but they're actually the key to trick that lets players fly across the entire map. Here's how to perform the trick.

The first step to the trick is, predictably, to grab a chicken of your own. Chase one down and grab it, but be careful — you'll be uniquely vulnerable when carrying your feathered friend.

With no further effort, you'll already be able to leap higher than normal with the chicken's help, but that boost can be turned up to 11. Carry your chicken to any of the six Guardian Spires, then send yourself off the launch pad. The chicken's help will allow you to fly just about anywhere on the map for a speedy and relatively safe rotation.

Fortnite Season 6 arrived in-game Tuesday, bringing new weapons, map changes and more.
