Mariah Carey has thawed out, launching Fortnite's Winterfest event for the 2024 holiday season. To tackle the event quests, players must locate SGT. Winter and discuss his "Wintervestigation." This guide reveals SGT. Winter's location in Fortnite Winterfest.
SGT. Winter's Location in Fortnite Chapter 6
The initial Wintervestigation quest directs players to SGT. Winter for a briefing. These quests appear to involve collaborating with Noir to uncover clues and discover new NPCs across the Chapter 6 map.
The quest marker pinpoints SGT. Winter's location—a snowy mountaintop near a plane crash site—even before entering a match. While not a named Point of Interest (POI), it's close to several and Mariah Carey's in-game concert location. Locate the snowy mountain east of Warrior's Watch and south of Foxy Floodgate.
