Mariah Carey's arrival has thawed the Fortnite landscape, kicking off the 2024 Winterfest event! To tackle the event's quests, you'll need to track down SGT. Winter and discuss his "Wintervestigation." This guide reveals SGT. Winter's location in Fortnite Winterfest.
SGT. Winter's Location in Fortnite Chapter 6
The initial Wintervestigation quest directs you to SGT. Winter. These quests appear to involve collaborating with Noir to uncover clues and locate new NPCs across the Chapter 6 map.
The quest marker will pinpoint SGT. Winter's location—a snowy mountain near a plane crash site—even before you enter a match. This area, while not a named Point of Interest (POI), is close to several POIs and Mariah Carey's in-game concert location. Easily locate it east of Warrior's Watch and south of Foxy Floodgate.
Talking to SGT. Winter in Fortnite
Upon landing, you'll find SGT. Winter patrolling near the plane wreckage. He's marked on your map and HUD with a speech bubble. Interacting presents options: purchasing a Holo Twister Assault Rifle, Blizzard Grenade, or initiating dialogue.
To begin the Wintervestigation, select the magnifying glass icon. This triggers a text-based conversation, leading to a new mission with Noir in Seaport City. Completing the dialogue rewards 25,000 XP.
Survival and Looting Strategies
While the quest is simple, surviving to reach SGT. Winter is the real challenge. As an early quest, the area is a popular drop zone. Consider waiting a few days for the crowds to thin. However, if you're eager to complete the quest immediately, here are some tips:
- Prioritize Loot: Land directly on a chest and utilize the plane wreckage for cover.
- Early Engagement: Eliminate opponents as they arrive, many might only have pickaxes.
- Strategic Purchases: Purchase items from SGT. Winter's stock, especially the Holo Twister Rifle, to gain an early advantage.
This concludes your guide to finding SGT. Winter in Fortnite Winterfest 2024.
Fortnite is available on various platforms, including Meta Quest 2 and 3.
