Valve has added pet chickens to Counter-Strike 2, and it is exactly as unhinged as it sounds coming from one of the most serious competitive shooters on the planet. The new system lets players collect eggs, hatch them, raise their chick into a full grown chicken, and then pet it. There are 35 chicken skins to collect, and a new in-game feature called the Hatchbook lets players keep photos of their chicken documented inside the game. Chickens have always been a staple of CS maps as background decoration, but turning them into collectible companions with their own progression system, skins, and a dedicated photo album is a new level entirely. The update has gone viral, with the community reacting with a mixture of genuine delight and complete confusion. #counterstrike #cs2 #counterstrike2 #valve #gamingnews
