SGT. Winter Location in Fortnite Chapter 6

The Wintervestigation Quest begins with a mission to meet SGT. Winter and delve into his investigation. This series of quests will have you working alongside Noir to uncover clues and locate new NPCs across the Chapter 6 map.

You can easily track SGT. Winter's location by viewing the Quest, which allows you to ping him on the map even before you jump into a match. SGT. Winter is stationed near a plane crash site atop a snowy mountain. Although not within a named POI, this location is close to several points of interest and near the site where Mariah Carey performs "All I Want for Christmas Is You." To find it, 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

Once you land near the plane crash, you'll spot SGT. Winter roaming the area. He's marked on the map and your HUD with a speech bubble icon.

To proceed with the Wintervestigation, select the magnifying glass icon. This will initiate a text-based dialogue where SGT. Winter assigns you a new mission to visit Noir in Seaport City. Upon completing the conversation, you'll earn 25,000 XP and mark the quest as completed.

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

Completing this challenge might seem simple, but surviving long enough to talk to SGT. Winter can be tough, especially since the area is a popular landing spot early in the Wintervestigation Quest Chain. Consider waiting a few days for the rush to subside, or if you're eager to tackle it immediately, here's how to maximize your chances.

First, you can head straight to SGT. Winter and buy the loot he's selling. If you have enough gold bars, the Epic Holo Twister Rifle can give you a strong start to the match. However, engaging in conversation with SGT. Winter can leave you vulnerable, so it's crucial to use the plane wreckage for cover.

Aim to land as early as possible and directly on a nearby chest. The plane crash site offers ample cover and several chests to loot. Use the environment to your advantage, picking off opponents as they battle each other. Many players landing here might only have a pickaxe, so with a good team or some luck from the loot chests, you can clear the area and safely complete your mission.

And that's how you find and interact with SGT. Winter during *Fortnite* Winterfest 2024. Enjoy the festive fun and happy gaming!
