Where To Find SGT. Winter in Fortnite Winterfest 2024

Mariah Carey's arrival has thawed the frosty landscape, kicking off Fortnite's Winterfest 2024! But to tackle the event's quests, you'll need to track down SGT. Winter and discuss his "Wintervestigation." Here's how to locate him.

SGT. Winter's Location in Fortnite Chapter 6

The initial Wintervestigation quest sends you to SGT. Winter for a chat. These quests appear to involve teaming up with Noir to uncover clues and discover new NPCs across the Chapter 6 map.

The quest marker will pinpoint SGT. Winter's location on your map, even before you jump in. He's positioned near a plane crash site atop a snowy mountain, east of Warrior's Watch and south of Foxy Floodgate. It's a chilly spot, not a named POI itself, but close to several and Mariah Carey's festive performance site.

Finding and Talking to SGT. Winter

Upon landing, you'll find SGT. Winter patrolling near the plane wreckage. He's marked with a speech bubble icon on your map and HUD. Interact with him to access a menu offering a Holo Twister Assault Rifle, Blizzard Grenade, or conversation options.

To begin the Wintervestigation, select the magnifying glass icon. This triggers a text-based dialogue, leading to a new mission: finding Noir in Seaport City. Completing the dialogue rewards you with a quest completion and a hefty 25,000 XP.

Surviving the SGT. Winter Hotspot

While the quest itself is simple, surviving to reach SGT. Winter is a challenge. As an early quest, it's a popular drop zone. Consider waiting a few days for the crowds to thin, or employ these strategies:

Buy your way to safety! If you and your squad have enough gold bars, purchasing the Epic Holo Twister Rifle from SGT. Winter provides a strong early-game advantage.

Utilize the environment. The plane wreckage offers ample cover. Aim to land early, grab a chest, and use the debris for protection, eliminating opponents as they arrive. Many players might only have pickaxes, giving you a tactical edge.

That's how to find SGT. Winter in Fortnite Winterfest 2024.

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