Pirots 3 isn’t just about cluster wins — it’s about chaos between feathered outlaws. This guide breaks down every key symbol in the game, especially the birds that trigger duels, heists, and coin chaos.
🔵 Blue Bird – The Default Collector
| Role | Collector / Duelist |
|---|---|
| Commonness | High |
| Feature Link | Duel, Coin Game |
This is the starter bird — always present on the grid and most likely to trigger early wins. In duels, the blue bird shoots straightforward but collects from long range.
🔴 Red Bird – The Aggressive Duel Starter
| Role | Duel Expert |
|---|---|
| Commonness | Medium |
| Feature Link | Duel Chain, Bandit Escape |
When two red birds stand side-by-side, a duel is almost guaranteed. They act faster, often starting a combo chain when aligned with train positions or a key symbol.
Pro Tip: Red birds clustered in corners = likely duel trigger next spin.
🟣 Vulture – High-Impact, Rare
| Role | Collector + Wild Card |
|---|---|
| Commonness | Low |
| Feature Link | Train Heist, Coin Game |
The vulture hovers during feature-rich spins. While rare, it has a wider shot radius, meaning it can collect multiple symbols when engaged in duels or bandit clashes.
In test mode, vultures appeared mostly during Super Bonus chains.
🟡 Bandit Symbol – Wild Collector & Escape Trigger
Not a bird, but a critical character symbol that starts the Bandit Escape feature. He moves like a bird but targets duels and symbols in his path until stopped.
🧩 Bonus Symbols & Keys
| Symbol Type | Triggers |
|---|---|
| 🔑 Key | Bandit Escape |
| 🪙 Coin | Coin Game (when board is cleared) |
| 🚂 Train | Train Heist if both ends connect |
These symbols interact with birds — e.g., a red bird collecting a key = Bandit Escape → leading to possible Coin Game if grid clears.
🎮 How Symbol Logic Works in Pirots 3
| Trigger Condition | Result |
|---|---|
| 2 adjacent birds | Random duel chance |
| 3+ adjacent birds | Guaranteed duel |
| Bird collects key | Bandit lands |
| Full grid collapse (via peanut etc.) | Coin Game triggers |
| Both trains visible + collection | Train Heist starts |
🎧 Audio & Personality
Each bird has a unique whistle or shout when activated:
- 🔵 Blue Bird: medium pitch squawk
- 🔴 Red Bird: rapid-fire squawk
- 🟣 Vulture: low growl and bounce effect
🧠 These sound cues help identify feature triggers even before they appear on-screen.
