Fortnite fans were recently treated to the addition of the Giant Chicken skin from Family Guy in the game. This iconic animated character joining the vast library of Fortnite skins is amusing for sure, but there has been an unexpected twist. Some players claim that the Chicken might provide an unintentional disadvantage if used in-game.
In a clip shared on X, user @Shanyshdw showcased that the size of the Giant Chicken skin caused the character model to poke through builds, allowing them to damage a player wearing the skin through a wall. This highlighted how players using the Giant Chicken skin could expose themselves to enemy damage even when protected by a wall.

The Giant Chicken skin from Family Guy being disadvantageous in-game has ignited a lively discussion within the Fortnite community, with players speculating about the skin's potential "pay-to-lose" nature.
The phrase "pay-to-lose" is generally used to describe certain cosmetic items in Fortnite and other games that may be visually appealing but put players at a disadvantage due to issues with visibility or the character's hitbox.
With the evidence provided by @Shanyshdw on X, the community has expressed concerns that the new Giant Chicken skin in Fortnite is potentially pay-to-lose.
Community reacts to the Giant Chicken skin potentially being pay-to-lose
The community's reaction to the skin's pay-to-lose element has been mixed, with some players agreeing that the skin's character models were buggy and a major disadvantage during gameplay. They argue that the unintentional exposure of the Giant Chicken through builds could potentially compromise the strategic advantage that comes with using cover during battle.
Meanwhile, other players explained how the issue might not be limited to the Giant Chicken skin since the bug appears to be affecting all skins across the board. Interestingly, another group of players took a more forgiving approach to the apparent in-game bug since it wouldn't affect Zero Build gameplay and stressed on the iconic nature of the Family Guy collaboration.
Some players even drew comparisons with other skins, such as the recently introduced Frieza skin from Dragon Ball that seems to be facing the same issue. Some of the most notable reactions from the community can be found below:
Although Epic Games has yet to address the issue, the community eagerly awaits potential adjustments that ensure a fair and balanced experience with all in-game cosmetics.
