SGT. Winter's Location in Fortnite Winterfest 2024 Revealed

The holiday season in *Fortnite* has kicked off with a bang as Mariah Carey has defrosted, signaling the start of the 2024 Winterfest event. Players eager to dive into the festivities will need to embark on the Wintervestigation Quest chain, starting with a visit to SGT. Winter. Here’s how to find him and engage in his Wintervestigation.

SGT. Winter Location in Fortnite Chapter 6

The inaugural Quest in the Wintervestigation series requires players to seek out SGT. Winter and discuss his ongoing investigation. It appears that these Quests will involve teaming up with Noir to uncover clues and locate new NPCs scattered across the Chapter 6 map.

To locate SGT. Winter, you can track and ping his position on the map even before entering a match. He's situated near a plane crash site atop a snowy mountain, not within a named POI but surrounded by several. This spot is also near where Mariah Carey performed her iconic "All I Want for Christmas Is You." The easiest way to pinpoint this location is by looking for the snowy mountain east of Warrior's Watch and south of Foxy Floodgate.

How to Talk to SGT. Winter About His Wintervestigation in Fortnite

Upon landing in the vicinity, you'll spot SGT. Winter, an NPC, roaming near the plane crash wreckage. He's marked on your map and HUD with a speech bubble icon. Interacting with him opens a menu where you can purchase items like the Holo Twister Assault Rifle or Blizzard Grenade, or initiate dialogue.

To discuss his Wintervestigation, select the magnifying glass icon. This will trigger a text-based dialogue where SGT. Winter assigns you a new mission to visit Noir in Seaport City. After completing the dialogue, you'll earn a quest completion reward of 25,000 XP.

How to Survive and Loot at SGT. Winter’s Location in Fortnite

Completing the challenge to talk to SGT. Winter is straightforward, but surviving long enough to do so can be tough due to the area being a popular drop spot, especially early in the event. It might be wise to wait a few days until the area cools down. However, if you're keen to complete the Quest quickly, here are some strategies.

You can head straight to SGT. Winter and buy the loot he offers. If you and your squad have enough gold bars, the Epic Holo Twister Rifle is a strong early-game weapon, and there are several available.

Remember, it takes time to finish the conversation with SGT. Winter, leaving you vulnerable. Fortunately, the plane crash site offers plenty of cover and chests. Try to land as early as possible, aim for a chest, and use the wreckage for cover. Many opponents will only have pickaxes, so with a good team or some luck from the nearby loot, clearing out the area is achievable.

And that's how to find and engage with SGT. Winter during *Fortnite* Winterfest 2024.

Fortnite is available to play on various platforms, including the Meta Quest 2 and 3.
