Winterfest 2021

Winterfest 2021 was an event in Fortnite: Battle Royale to celebrate the Holidays. The event started on December 16th, 2021 and ended on January 6th, 2022.

This event is most similar to Winterfest 2019, since presents return inside the Winterfest Cabin, now rebranded to Sgt. Winter's Cabin. As with 2019, presents are available to open and challenges unlock daily, to give free rewards. In total, there are 16 cosmetic rewards (2 from Quests, 14 from presents).

Additionally, current or recent Fortnite Crew members receive the Golden Look Board upon entering the game.

The game itself also got updates, as the Snowball Launcher, Chiller Grenades, Sneaky Snowmando, and Presents were unvaulted. The majority of the map was covered with snow and festive decorations appeared in most locations. Players could also locate Sgt. Winter at various locations across the map, driving Holiday Big Rig and two Red-Nosed Rangers on festive decorated Quadcrashers.

Winterfest Cabin
The Winterfest Cabin, now known as Sgt. Winter's Cabin, is where you can go to open presents. Sitting by the fireplace will allow you to get 10, 20, 100, 1000 or 5000 supercharged XP every 15 seconds. Supercharged XP does not level the player up directly, but instead allows them to gain boosted XP for the next amount gained.

Players could also open one of 14 presents:

Interacting with other objects in the cabin will result in other 'Easter Eggs' to play, such as an RC Quadcrasher appearing when the Quadcrasher is selected, and the snowglobe playing music.
