Mariah Carey's arrival has thawed the frosty landscape of Fortnite, kicking off the Winterfest 2024 event! To tackle the event's quests, you'll need to locate SGT. Winter and discuss his ongoing "Wintervestigation." Here's how to find him.
SGT. Winter's Location in Fortnite Chapter 6
The initial Wintervestigation quest directs you to SGT. Winter for a chat. 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 on your map, even before you start the match. He's positioned near a plane crash site atop a snowy mountain, east of Warrior's Watch and south of Foxy Floodgate. This area isn't a named Point of Interest (POI) but is close to several, and conveniently located near Mariah Carey's in-game concert location.
Talking to SGT. Winter in Fortnite
Upon landing, you'll find SGT. Winter patrolling near the plane wreckage. He's clearly marked on your map and HUD with a speech bubble. Interacting with him presents options to purchase items (Holo Twister Assault Rifle, Blizzard Grenade) or initiate dialogue.
To begin 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 rewards you with a quest completion and a hefty 25,000 XP.

Surviving and Looting at SGT. Winter's Location
While simple in concept, surviving long enough to chat with SGT. Winter presents a challenge. As an early quest, this area is a popular drop zone. Consider waiting a few days for the crowds to thin, or employ these strategies:
- Buy your way out: Purchase items from SGT. Winter using gold bars. The Epic Holo Twister Rifle is a strong early-game weapon.
- Loot and cover: Land early, grab nearby chests, and utilize the plane wreckage for cover. Many players might only have pickaxes, giving you an advantage.
That's how to find SGT. Winter in Fortnite Winterfest 2024.
Fortnite is available on various platforms, including Meta Quest 2 and 3.
