Mariah Carey's arrival has thawed the Fortnite landscape, launching the Winterfest 2024 event! To tackle the event's quests, players must locate SGT. Winter and discuss his "Wintervestigation." This guide reveals SGT. Winter's location and how to complete this crucial quest.
SGT. Winter's Location in Fortnite Chapter 6
The initial Wintervestigation quest directs players to SGT. Winter for a briefing. These quests appear to involve collaborating with Noir to uncover clues and discover new NPCs across the Chapter 6 map.
The quest marker pinpoints SGT. Winter's location – near a plane crash atop a snowy mountain, east of Warrior's Watch and south of Foxy Floodgate. This area, while not a named Point of Interest (POI), is conveniently situated near several POIs and Mariah Carey's concert site.
Interacting with SGT. Winter
SGT. Winter, identifiable by a speech bubble icon on the map and HUD, patrols the plane crash site. Interacting with him presents options: purchasing a Holo Twister Assault Rifle, Blizzard Grenade, or initiating dialogue.
Selecting the magnifying glass icon initiates the Wintervestigation dialogue. SGT. Winter will provide a new mission, sending players to Noir in Seaport City. Quest completion rewards 25,000 XP.
Surviving the SGT. Winter Encounter
Reaching SGT. Winter presents a challenge, as the area is a popular drop zone, especially early in the Wintervestigation questline. Consider waiting a few days for the intensity to subside. Alternatively, utilize the following strategies:
- Strategic Loot: Immediately purchase items from SGT. Winter using gold bars. The Epic Holo Twister Rifle is a valuable early-game asset.
- Utilize Cover: The plane wreckage offers ample cover. Prioritize landing near chests and using the wreckage to eliminate opponents. Many players might only have pickaxes early on.
Successfully completing this quest is key to unlocking further Winterfest rewards.
Fortnite is available on various platforms, including Meta Quest 2 and 3.
