Sgt. Winter's Location in Fortnite Winterfest 2024 Revealed

The festive spirit has arrived in *Fortnite* with Mariah Carey defrosting to kick off the Winterfest event for the 2024 holiday season. To dive into the event's Quests, players must seek out SGT. Winter and engage in his Wintervestigation. Here's how to locate SGT. Winter in *Fortnite* Winterfest.

SGT. Winter Location in Fortnite Chapter 6

The initial Quest in the Wintervestigation chain directs players to SGT. Winter to discuss his Wintervestigation. This series of Quests will have *Fortnite* players collaborating with Noir to uncover clues and locate new NPCs across the Chapter 6 map.

You can easily track and ping SGT. Winter's location on the map by viewing the Quest, even before you jump into a match. He can be found near a plane crash site atop a snowy mountain. While not within a designated POI, the area is surrounded by several points of interest and is close to where Mariah Carey performed "All I Want for Christmas Is You." The best way to locate it is to 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 area, you'll spot SGT. Winter as an NPC wandering near the plane crash wreckage. He's marked on the map and HUD with a speech bubble icon. Interacting with him opens a menu where you can choose to buy a Holo Twister Assault Rifle, a Blizzard Grenade, or initiate dialogue.

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

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

While the challenge itself is straightforward, surviving long enough to talk to SGT. Winter can be tough. As one of the first Quests in the Wintervestigation chain, the area is a popular drop spot. It might be wise to wait a few days for the initial rush to subside. However, if you're eager to complete the Quest, there are strategies to consider.

You can head straight to SGT. Winter and purchase his available loot. If you and your squad have enough gold bars, the Epic Holo Twister Rifle is a strong early-game choice, and he has several in stock.

Completing the dialogue with SGT. Winter takes time and leaves you vulnerable. Fortunately, the plane crash site offers ample cover and chests. Aim to land early and directly on a chest. Use the wreckage for cover and take out enemies as they battle each other. Many players landing here might only have a pickaxe, making it possible to clear the area with a good team or some luck from nearby loot chests.

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

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