Mariah Carey's arrival has thawed the frosty landscape of Fortnite, kicking off the 2024 Winterfest event. To tackle the event's quests, players must locate SGT. Winter and discuss his "Wintervestigation." This guide reveals SGT. Winter's location and how to complete this crucial quest.
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 tracker will pinpoint SGT. Winter's location—a plane crash site atop a snowy mountain—even before you enter a match. This area isn't a named Point of Interest (POI) but is near several, including Mariah Carey's concert site. Locate the snowy mountain east of Warrior's Watch and south of Foxy Floodgate for easy identification.
Completing the SGT. Winter Dialogue in Fortnite
Upon landing, SGT. Winter, marked by a speech bubble icon on the map and HUD, will be found near the plane wreckage. Interact with him to access a menu offering a Holo Twister Assault Rifle, Blizzard Grenade, or dialogue options.
Select the magnifying glass icon to initiate the conversation about his Wintervestigation. This text-based dialogue will provide a new mission, sending you to Noir in Seaport City. Upon completion, you'll receive 25,000 XP.

Survival Strategies at SGT. Winter's Location
While simple, surviving to speak 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:
Purchase loot from SGT. Winter. If you have gold bars, the Epic Holo Twister Rifle is a valuable early-game weapon.
Utilize the environment. The plane wreckage offers ample cover and nearby chests. Prioritize landing near a chest and use the wreckage for protection, eliminating opponents as they engage each other. Many players might only have pickaxes, making this a manageable task with a coordinated team and some luck with loot.
This concludes the guide to finding SGT. Winter in Fortnite Winterfest 2024.
Fortnite is available on various platforms, including Meta Quest 2 and 3.
