Sgt. Winter's Location Revealed in Fortnite Winterfest '24

Mariah Carey has thawed out, launching Fortnite's Winterfest 2024 festivities! To tackle the event's challenges, players must locate SGT. Winter and discuss his "Wintervestigation." This guide reveals SGT. Winter's whereabouts.

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 teaming up with Noir to uncover clues and discover new NPCs across the Chapter 6 map.

The quest marker pinpoints SGT. Winter's location—a snowy mountaintop near a plane crash site—even before you enter a match. While not a named Point of Interest (POI), it's close to several, including Mariah Carey's concert location. The easiest way to find him is to locate the snowy mountain east of Warrior's Watch and south of Foxy Floodgate.

Talking to SGT. Winter in Fortnite

SGT. Winter, marked by a speech bubble icon on your map and HUD, patrols near the plane wreckage. Interacting with him presents options: purchasing a Holo Twister Assault Rifle, a Blizzard Grenade, or initiating dialogue.

To start the Wintervestigation, select the magnifying glass icon. A text-based conversation will follow, leading to a new mission directing you to Noir in Seaport City. Completing the dialogue awards 25,000 XP.

Surviving and Looting at SGT. Winter's Location

While simple, surviving to reach SGT. Winter can be tough. As an early quest, this area is a popular drop zone. Consider waiting a few days for the crowds to thin. However, if you're determined, here are some strategies:

Purchase items from SGT. Winter. If you have enough gold bars, the Epic Holo Twister Rifle is a valuable early-game weapon.

Utilize the plane wreckage for cover. Land early, aim for a chest, and use the debris to shield yourself while eliminating opponents. Many players may only have pickaxes, making this a manageable fight with a good team and some luck with nearby loot.

This concludes our guide to finding SGT. Winter in Fortnite Winterfest 2024.

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