SGT. Winter Location in Fortnite Chapter 6

The initial Quest in the Wintervestigation storyline requires players to seek out SGT. Winter and engage in a conversation about his ongoing investigation. This set of Quests will guide *Fortnite* players to collaborate with Noir in uncovering clues and tracking down new NPCs across the Chapter 6 map.

You can easily track SGT. Winter's location by viewing the Quest, which will allow you to ping his whereabouts on the map even before jumping into a match. He is situated near a plane crash site atop a snowy mountain, which, while not a point of interest (POI) itself, is conveniently located near several POIs and close to where Mariah Carey will perform her iconic song, "All I Want for Christmas Is You." To pinpoint his location, search for the snowy mountain east of Warrior's Watch and south of Foxy Floodgate.

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

While the task of talking to SGT. Winter is straightforward, surviving long enough to do so can be challenging, especially since this is one of the first Quests in the Wintervestigation chain, making it a popular drop spot. If you're willing to wait, the area might become less crowded after a few days. However, if you're eager to complete the Quest, here are some strategies to consider.

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

Keep in mind, though, that engaging in conversation with SGT. Winter can leave you vulnerable. Fortunately, the plane crash site offers ample cover and chests. Aim to land as early as possible, directly on a chest, and use the wreckage for protection. Engage enemies strategically, taking advantage of the fact that many may only have a pickaxe. With a good team and some luck from the nearby loot chests, clearing the area should be manageable.

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.
