Winterfest 2024 has arrived in Fortnite, transforming the island into a frozen wonderland brimming with Christmas cheer and boundless excitement. From snow-dusted POIs to festive decorations, the winter event is full of beauty.
Alongside that, exclusive Winterfest-themed quests are now available, providing a mix of investigative challenges and rewarding gameplay. However, to kick off these quests you need to interact with an NPC on the island on behalf of Sgt. Winter. But some players have raised a major concern that’s spoiling the fun of these challenges in Fortnite Chapter 6.
Fortnite players slam Wintervestigation challenges for ruining the fun
Fortnite players like always_Long are taking over Reddit to voice their displeasure with the new Wintervestigation challenges which are a set of quests that involve them looking for clues around the island and reporting to Noir with their findings.
But to begin and conclude each set of such quests, players need to visit the Noir NPC at Seaport City POI and interact with him. Blaming this always_Long said, “This straight up is not fun, and absolutely ridiculous. I shouldn’t have to stress out about people camping or hot-dropping the mission objectives just so they can camp/farm kills. I cut the clip short, but I died about 2 minutes after this trying to get out of the city, I couldn’t run 1 second in any direction without running into somebody trying to shoot me.”
The problem highlighted by the user resonated with a bunch of other Fortnite players who tend to focus on completing quests in Battle Royale, rather than eliminating enemies and chasing the Victory Royale. Another similar player wrote, “Freaking hate this too. I don’t care if this is considered “teaming”, but I literally elim’d someone who was attacking another player while they were trying to speak to Noir too. Serves them right.”
A third player offered a solution by commenting, “Just drop somewhere else, run around for a while, and get shield, stuff and a car then come back when there’s less players?”, to which several agreed by saying, “This is exactly how I did all the quests. Wait until the area has cooled off and/or storm threatens the area then you’ll have the city to yourself.”
While Winterfest 2024 quests only grant players XP, you can still head over to the Yule Log Cabin if you’re looking to open some presents to get free cosmetic items in the game.
