How to Get Wishbones & Where to Find Super Turkeys
In order to get any of the event-themed cosmetics, players need to collect Wishbones. Unfortunately, the only way to do that is by fighting the Super Turkeys scattered across the map. While you can find one pretty much anywhere, theyre most commonly seen on the beach coast.
These little beasts have about 2,000 health, but they deal lots of damage and have high health-regen properties. Seriously, dont be surprised to lose a Giga or two trying to take these birds down. To maximize the event, you will need to kill a lot of turkeys, as each one only offers two Wishbones.
