SGT. Winter Location in Fortnite Chapter 6

The initial step in the Wintervestigation Quest chain requires players to find SGT. Winter and discuss his ongoing investigation. These Quests will involve *Fortnite* players collaborating with Noir to uncover clues and locate new NPCs across the Chapter 6 map.

To locate SGT. Winter, players can track and ping his position on the map even before starting a match. He's situated near a plane crash site at the peak of a snowy mountain. Although not within a designated Point of Interest (POI), the area is near several POIs and close to where Mariah Carey's iconic "All I Want for Christmas Is You" performance takes place. To pinpoint the 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 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.

To delve into the Wintervestigation, select the magnifying glass icon. This will start a text-based dialogue where SGT. Winter will assign a new mission, directing players to meet Noir in Seaport City. Completing this dialogue will grant you a quest completion and a rewarding 25,000 XP.

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

While the challenge is straightforward, surviving long enough to speak with SGT. Winter can be tough, especially early in the event when the area becomes a popular landing spot. It might be strategic to wait a few days until the initial rush subsides. However, if you're eager to complete the Quest, here are some tips:

You can head straight to SGT. Winter and buy the available loot. If you have enough gold bars, the Epic Holo Twister Rifle is an excellent early-game choice, and there are several in stock.

Engaging in dialogue with SGT. Winter can leave you vulnerable, but 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 opponents 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.
