Fortnite Winterfest 2023

The unsparing Sgt. Winter — now delivering under the Ship It! Express brand — is delivering 14 free gifts during Winterfest! Tucked away inside these presents are various in-game goodies, including Outfits, Gliders, a Lobby Track that doubles as a Jam Track, and plenty more. We won't spoil the specifics, but you might wanna put the Winterfest Bushranger and Holiday Boxy Outfits on your Winterfest wishlist.  You can grab these gifts by collecting them from the Quests tab each day. Don't worry if you miss a day — the gifts will stack and they'll continue to be available until Winterfest ends (Jan. 2, 2024, at 9 AM ET). Want to help Ship It Express' operations? According to Holiday Boxy, who happens to be a Ship It! Express representative, shipments for the Island are being reported as missing. Help her investigate in the Ship It! Express Snapshot questline!

Festive Favorites From The Vault

While Sgt. Winter's delivering gifts, pick up unvaulted Fortnite items that may help deliver a win if you use 'em right:

  • Throw down Holiday Presents! to open them up and grab the loot inside.
  • Put on the Sneaky Snowmando disguise to give your enemies a seasonal surprise.
  • Unleash frozen fury with the explosive Snowball Launcher.
  • Consume a Snowy Flopper to restore some Health and give yourself icy feet.
  • Fling yourself with the Icy Grappler and land with icy feet. (The Icy Grappler will be unvaulted later during Winterfest.)

Winterfest Quests

Don't get cold feet about getting icy feet — the unvaulted items will come in handy for Winterfest Quests! These Quests will progressively become available over the course of Winterfest 2023, and for completing 19 of them, you'll unlock the Snowglobe Smasher Pickaxe. Bash stuff with wintry cheer! The Winterfest Quests will be available until Winterfest 2023 ends (Jan. 2, 2024, at 9 AM ET).
