How to complete all Fortnite Winterfest 2021 challenges
Most of the Winterfest 2021 challenges are quite simple to complete, but a few of them can be a little confusing if you don’t know where to go, so we’re going to explain them below.
Warming yourself at the Yule Log requires you to visit the Winterfest Lodge. Scroll across to the snowflake tab in the lobby, click on Sgt. Winter, and then select the fireplace. Interact with it to complete this quest.
Dancing for three seconds at Crackshot’s Cabin requires you to find the cabin (we’ve got a guide here) and then use a dance emote. You can also find a Crackshot Quadcrasher outside of here for a later challenge.
If you need a Snowball Launcher, Chiller Grenade, or a Holiday Present! for a challenge, you’ll just need to search chests until you find one. Sneaky Snowmen can be entered by interacting with them.
All of these weapons and items have returned for Winterfest 2021.
How to get free Fortnite Winterfest 2021 challenge rewards
There are two free rewards on offer for completing enough Winterfest 2021 challenges: The Snowmando Board Glider (with Ice King Board and Llamadelica Board styles) and the Ffrosty Back Bling.
To get the Snowmando Board Glider, you’ll need to complete seven Winterfest quests. Then, to get the Ffrosty Back Bling, you’ll need to complete 10 Winterfest quests.
These aren’t the only free rewards you can get during Winterfest 2021 – you can also open a present every day during December by visiting Crackshot’s Cabin. We’ve got a guide to all those freebies here.
