Where To Find SGT. Winter in Fortnite Winterfest 2024

The holiday season in *Fortnite* has kicked off with a bang, thanks to Mariah Carey's defrosting and the start of the Winterfest 2024 event. To dive into the festive fun, players must embark on the Wintervestigation Quest chain, beginning with a chat with SGT. Winter about his investigation. Here's how to find him and complete the quest in *Fortnite* Chapter 6.

SGT. Winter Location in Fortnite Chapter 6

The first step in the Wintervestigation Quest chain is to locate SGT. Winter and discuss his Wintervestigation. This quest will lead players to collaborate with Noir to uncover clues and find new NPCs scattered across the Chapter 6 map. You can track SGT. Winter's location on the map even before entering a match. He's situated near a plane crash site atop a snowy mountain, not within a specific POI but close to several, including the site of Mariah Carey's iconic "All I Want for Christmas Is You" performance. To pinpoint his location, look 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 designated area, you'll find SGT. Winter roaming near the plane crash wreckage. He's easily identifiable on the map and HUD with a speech bubble icon. Interact with him to access a menu where you can purchase items like the Holo Twister Assault Rifle and Blizzard Grenade, or initiate dialogue. To discuss his Wintervestigation, select the magnifying glass icon. This will prompt a text-based conversation where SGT. Winter assigns you a new mission to visit Noir in Seaport City. Completing the dialogue will grant you 25,000 XP and mark the quest as completed.

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

While the quest to talk to SGT. Winter is straightforward, surviving long enough to complete it can be challenging, especially since this area is a hot drop early in the Wintervestigation Quest Chain. If possible, consider waiting a few days for the area to cool down. However, if you're eager to complete the quest, there are strategies to help you succeed.

You can head straight to SGT. Winter and purchase his available loot. If you have enough gold bars, the Epic Holo Twister Rifle is a great early-game weapon, and he usually has several in stock. However, engaging in dialogue with SGT. Winter can leave you vulnerable, so it's crucial to use the plane wreckage for cover. Aim to land early and directly on a chest to gear up quickly. The area around the crash site offers ample cover and chests, allowing you to pick off opponents as they battle each other. Many players landing here might only have a pickaxe, making it easier to clear the area with a well-equipped team or some luck from nearby loot chests.

And that's how to find and interact with SGT. Winter during *Fortnite* Winterfest 2024. Enjoy the festive challenges and rewards!
