The Thanksgiving update in Hypershot has arrived, bringing the limited-time Turkey Hunt event. This event adds a fun, seasonal twist to your regular matches, letting you hunt for turkeys to earn exclusive rewards. If you’re looking to maximize your farming and grab all the best items from the Thanksgiving Shop, you’ve come to the right place.
This guide will break down everything you need to know about the Hypershot Turkey Hunt event, from the basic mechanics to advanced farming tips.
What is the Turkey Hunt Event?
The Turkey Hunt is a limited-time event active during the Hypershot Thanksgiving update. It automatically integrates into your Regular Matches. Your goal is simple: find and shoot the wild turkeys that spawn randomly across the maps. By doing so, you’ll collect two main currencies:
Coins: Earned from every turkey you defeat.
Turkey Legs: A special event currency with a chance to drop from turkeys.
These are used to purchase unique seasonal items in the dedicated Thanksgiving Shop.
How the Turkey Hunt Mechanics Work
Understanding how the turkeys behave is key to successful farming.
Spawning: Turkeys spawn randomly throughout the various maps in Regular Match modes.
Behavior: They are passive NPCs with low health and do not attack players. However, they are skittish. If a turkey sees you, it will immediately turn and run away.
Rewards: Shooting and eliminating a turkey guarantees you 100 Coins. Additionally, each turkey has a random chance to drop a Turkey Leg.
How to Find and Hunt the Rainbow Turkey
Beyond the common turkeys, there is a rare and valuable variant: the Rainbow Turkey.
Rarity: The Rainbow Turkey is much rarer than its standard counterpart.
Rewards: Defeating a Rainbow Turkey yields a significantly higher amount of Coins and a much greater chance for multiple Turkey Legs.
Exclusive Skin: Most importantly, taking down a Rainbow Turkey will instantly unlock the exclusive Rainbow Turkey Leg melee skin. This skin cannot be purchased in the shop; this is the only way to obtain it.
Stay alert and always prioritize shooting a Rainbow Turkey if you spot one!
Best Game Mode for Farming Turkey Legs and Coins
While the event is active in all Regular Matches, one mode stands out as the most efficient for farming:
Team Deathmatch.
Here’s why Team Deathmatch is the best mode for the Turkey Hunt:
No Complex Objectives: Unlike modes like Capture the Flag or Zone Control, Team Deathmatch has a straightforward goal: eliminate opponents. This gives you more freedom to roam the map and hunt turkeys without hurting your team’s objective.
No Friendly Fire: You can focus on shooting turkeys without the risk of accidentally damaging your teammates.
Open Movement: The maps in this mode often provide more space and predictable spawn areas, making it easier to track down and corner turkeys.

You can access the Thanksgiving Shop by clicking the Turkey icon on the main menu or in the event hub. Here, you can spend your hard-earned Turkey Legs and Robux on seasonal cosmetics.

Top Tips for Efficient Event Farming
To make the most of the event before it ends, follow these tips:
Focus on Team Deathmatch: As established, this is the most efficient mode for pure turkey hunting.
