This year's Fortnite Winterfest is now underway, with the seasonal spectacular seeming to raise one particular question among the fans: where is Sgt Winter? Luckily, his location isn't that difficult to find!
Not content with launching LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing and Fortnite Festival, the developers from Epic Games have pulled out all the stops with this year's Fortnite Christmas event.
But where exactly is Sgt Winter in Fortnite, and what else do you need to know about this buff-looking Santa-alike? Keep on reading to find out!

If you're wondering where to find Sgt Winter in Fortnite, you've come to the right place! The hench Father Christmas doppelganger is spawning in one specific place, and we're about to tell you where it is.
In Fortnite's battle royale map,Sgt Winter can be found on the small island called Winterburg.
As you can see circled in red on the map below, this location can be found right at the top of the battle royale map (or 'north' if you know your compass points). It's a small island off the coast of the main one.
Land your glider on the Winterburg mini-island (circled in red above) and you should see the Sgt Winter NPC walking around.
Contrary to some reports you'll find online, Sgt Winter is not driving a big truck this year. He's on foot, and he's pretty easy to find!
You don't need to fight Sgt Winter. He won't attack you unless you provoke him first, and he'll drop a lump of coal if you kill him.
You might want to scope out the surrounding area before you get too close — there could be other players hiding nearby, hoping to take you out!
Players have been looking for Sgt Winter for one main reason — there's a seasonal quest afoot, tasking players to 'collect an item inside a present thrown by Sgt Winter'. The reward for doing so is 15,000 XP, which isn't to be scoffed at!
Once you've found Sgt Winter, to complete this quest, simply walk up to him and wait around for a second.
He'll ask if you've been naughty or nice, and after a brief pause, he'll throw a massive present onto the ground that he's somehow summoned out of thin air.

Industry legend Hideo Kojima provided a New Year update via Twitter on the various projects he's brewing, starting with Death Stranding 2. According to the creator of Metal Gear, the sequel to the 2019 'strand game' needs some ADR done. ADR stands for automated dialogue replacement, a film-making post-production process where some lines are re-recorded to replace those from the original production deemed unsuitable for various reasons, such as improving audio quality or even making changes to the dialogue. Moreover, Kojima said the Japanese voiceover recording for Death Stranding 2 will begin in 2024.
Cyberpunk 2077 isn't afraid to include little nods to other gaming greats, and Phantom Liberty is no exception. When it comes to games that have had the most impact on the industry, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is up there with the best of them, and Cyberpunk 2077 has plenty of Easter eggs dedicated to CJ and the gang. Yet another one has been discovered though, this time referencing beloved character Big Smoke.
