Still a player
You shoot, buy, plant and defuse, jump and crouch as usual, you just look like a chicken. Nobody sees a chicken's gun, so every chicken on the map is a suspect.

Be a Chicken in action
What is Be a Chicken?
Be a Chicken is a Counter-Strike 2 mod by xplay.gg that turns players into real CS2 chickens. You keep everything a player has: you shoot, buy, plant and defuse, jump and crouch. The chicken walks, runs, flaps when it takes off, glides while you hold jump, squats when you crouch and does a trick on the inspect key, and bullets hit its body, not an invisible player around it. The lobby picks who becomes a chicken, its size, breed, camera, health, speed and weapons.
What you can tune
- Who is a chicken: everyone, one side, a team, random or picked players
- Size: 0.15 to 0.5 of a player, hitboxes and eye height shrink too
- Breed: classic, Polish, silkie, chick, random or by team
- Camera: first person from the head or third person behind
- Health 1 to 500, speed 0.5x to 2x, gliding with its own gravity
- Weapons: any, knife, pistols or Zeus only; the bomb always stays
The lobby owner changes these in the lobby's Mods tab before the match.
Why it's fun
Hit where it stands
Bullets land on the chicken itself. Its size scales the hitboxes and the eye height together: a tiny chick is hard to hit and sees the map from the floor, a big one is an easy target.
Flap, glide, show off
The chicken flaps on takeoff, glides down while you hold jump in the air and squats when you crouch. The inspect key makes it do one of its tricks, and it clucks when it jumps or takes a hit.
Your rules for the coop
Turn everyone into chickens, one side, a team, random players each round or just your friend. Pick the breed, the camera, health up to 500, speed and weapons, and what is left after death: a burst of feathers, a roast chicken or nothing.

FAQ
Do I need to install anything to play Be a Chicken?
No. Be a Chicken runs on the xplay.gg game server. You only need CS2 and a Steam account: connect to the match and the mod is already working.
How many players do I need for Be a Chicken?
Two players are enough for a chicken duel. Bigger lobbies are more fun: make one side chickens, or one random chicken each round, and let everyone else hunt it.
Can I change the Be a Chicken settings?
Yes. In the lobby's Mods tab the owner picks who is a chicken (everyone, one side, a lobby team, random players each round or players from the list), its size and breed, teammate glow through walls, the camera, health, speed, gliding and its gravity, weapons, clucking, tricks on inspect and what happens on death.
Can I combine Be a Chicken with other mods?
Yes. Turn on more mods in the lobby's Mods tab. If two mods can't run together, the lobby tells you before the match starts.
Does playing mods affect my CS2 rank?
No. Personal matches on xplay.gg are separate from Valve matchmaking and don't change your Premier or Competitive rank.
