Fortnite winterfest guide

Winterfest is the Fortnite Christmas event for 2019. Players get a gift and challenge every day of this new festive event from 17 December through 6 January. This guide will tell you everything you need to know to complete each of these challenges.

Below is the list of challenges and the number beside it in parenthesis shows how many times you have to complete that challenge:

Search Holiday Stockings in the Winterfest Cabin (1)

From the Battle Royal menu, you can now activate a special cabin where you can relax during this event. Once you’re there, you have to search the stockings hanging on the fireplace. One is enough.

Stoke a Campfire (1)

 There are plenty of campfires all over the map. All you have to do is stoke one with 30 Wood or a Lump of Coal.

Eliminations with an Unvaulted Weapon (5)

For this event, several weapons that have been removed from the game in recent months will be unvaulted. Use any of them to take out five opponents. You don’t have to eliminate them all in the same fight; it can be done in several separate ones. The unvaulated weapons are:

  • Heavy Sniper
  • Double Barrel
  • Drum Gun
  • Flint-Knock Pistol
  • Stink Bombs
  • Infantry Rifle
  • Dual Pistols
  • Tactical SMG
  • Shockwave Grenades
  • Drum Shotgun
  • Boom Bow
  • Hand Cannon
  • Suppressed SMG
  • Boogie Bomb

Hide inside a Sneaky Snowman in different fights (2)

On the map and hidden as items in the chests, you’ll find the Sneaky Snowmen. All you have to do is hide inside one during two separate confrontations.

Warm yourself by the fireplace in the Winterfest Cabin (1)

Just like the Stockings. Access the Cabin from the menu and highlight the fireplace.

Dance at Holiday trees in different Named Locations (5)

This challenge has a list of Named Locations on the island, each with a Fortnite Holiday tree that won’t be hard to find. Stand in front of it and perform any emote you have in your collection.

Search a chest within 60 seconds after landing from the Battle Bus (1)

Drop into an area where you know there are chests and open one before you’ve been on the ground for one minute. The longer you take to drop, the fewer players you’ll have around you to take the chest or bother you while you look for one quickly.

Use Presents! (2)

 Presents are new drop items that open a room with top-level loot, including weapons, throwables and consumables. You’ll find them by opening chests. Use two of them and you’re done.

Open Frozen Loot (1)

In the snowy areas of the map, you’ll find loot encased in a block of ice, with 3,500 health points. We recommend opening them with friends because it takes a while and other players may try to kill you, as they have to complete this challenge, too.

Deal damage to an opponent with a Lump of Coal (1)

The Lumps of Coal are inside the Presents and they are pretty rare, so you’ll have to be patient. Once you get one, hit an enemy with it. You don’t have to kill your opponent, just hit them.

Search Ice Boxes (2)

Ice Boxes look like vending machines. You can find them in Sweaty Sands, Weeping Woods, and at the Shiver Inn and the Motel.

Light a Frozen Firework found on beaches (1)

You’ll find these fireworks in Sweaty Sands, Craggy Cliffs or Dirty Docks. Go to any of these locations, get a firework out of the ice and light it to complete this challenge.

Search Ammo Boxes (2)

You should do this in all of the new locations added for this event. Go to The Workshop, Shiver Inn or Ice Thrones to find Ammo Boxes. Open two and you’re done.

As you’ve probably noticed, all the challenges are pretty simple and by completing them you’ll get a good collection of presents to enjoy this holiday season inside this game by Epic Games.
