Mariah Carey's arrival has thawed the frosty landscape of Fortnite, kicking off the 2024 Winterfest event! But to unlock the full Wintervestigation Questline, you'll need to track down SGT. Winter. This guide reveals his location and how to complete the initial quest.

SGT. Winter's Location in Fortnite Chapter 6

The opening Wintervestigation quest sends you 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 will pinpoint SGT. Winter's location – a snowy mountaintop near a plane crash site, east of Warrior's Watch and south of Foxy Floodgate. It's a prime spot, close to Mariah Carey's festive performance area.

Talking to SGT. Winter

Once you land, locate SGT. Winter (marked by a speech bubble). He offers a Holo Twister Assault Rifle, Blizzard Grenade, or the option to discuss his investigation. Select the magnifying glass icon to initiate the conversation, receive your next mission (finding Noir in Seaport City), and claim your 25,000 XP reward.

Surviving the SGT. Winter Hotspot

Reaching SGT. Winter is a challenge in itself, as the area is a popular drop zone. Consider waiting a few days for the initial rush to subside. Alternatively, utilize the plane wreckage for cover, prioritize grabbing nearby chests, and use the element of surprise against other players. Many may only have pickaxes initially, giving you an advantage. Purchasing items from SGT. Winter provides an immediate reward and a safe way to start.

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

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