Mariah Carey's arrival has thawed the frosty landscape of Fortnite, kicking off the 2024 Winterfest event. However, to conquer the event's quests, players must embark on a "Wintervestigation" with SGT. Winter. This guide reveals SGT. Winter's location and how to complete the initial quest.
SGT. Winter's Location in Fortnite Chapter 6
The inaugural Wintervestigation quest directs players to SGT. Winter for a crucial briefing. This questline involves collaborating with Noir to uncover clues and locate 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, though not a named Point of Interest (POI), is conveniently situated near several POIs and Mariah Carey's concert site.
Interacting with SGT. Winter
Upon reaching the crash site, locate SGT. Winter, marked by 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 the option to initiate dialogue.
Select the magnifying glass icon to begin the Wintervestigation conversation. SGT. Winter will provide your next mission: find Noir in Seaport City. Completing the dialogue rewards 25,000 XP.
Surviving the Encounter
While the quest is simple, surviving the encounter is challenging. The area is a popular drop zone, especially early in the Wintervestigation quest chain. Consider waiting a few days for the initial rush to subside.
Alternatively, strategically utilize the area's cover and chests. Prioritize landing near a chest for early-game advantage. The plane wreckage provides excellent cover, allowing you to eliminate opponents. Many players may only have pickaxes, making this a manageable fight with a coordinated team and some luck with loot.
This concludes your guide to finding SGT. Winter during Fortnite's Winterfest 2024.
Fortnite is available on various platforms, including Meta Quest 2 and 3.
