ight now, you can unlock new costumes, win exclusive trophies and try out seasonal weapons. Winterfest will last from December 16 to January 6. Hurry up!
Father Christmas has come to the fortniters. Considerable areas of the game’s map are covered with a charmingly fat layer of snow. But it’s not just about decorations — you can catch the Xmas vibe in many other ways.
For starters, you can refine your wardrobe a bit. There’s a bunch of costumes that you can either buy or earn through winning matches.
There are two Isabelle variations: Krisable and Blizzable. While Krisabelle wears the canonical Xmas dress, Bnlizabelle looks like a true Snow Queen, who escaped her palace in Spitsbergen.
Another costume available is the Polar Peely — a mortifyingly blueish banana peel, clad in pure arctic ice.
Other garments to claim include three versions of the Spider-Man skin: classic, black and maskless. Zendaya skin has also made it to the party. However, it seems you can only purchase those cosmetics with V-bucks.
But it’s not just about virtual clothes. During the Winterfest you can claim:
- Two pickaxes.
- Two wraps.
- Contrail.
- Glider.
And there are more gifts. Players can also gain more XP and rewards, if they complete a series of the Winterfest challenges.
For instance, if you complete 7 challenges successfully — the Snowmando board glider is yours. Plus, it has two versions to pick from.
And if you beat 10 of those, a Frosty back bling will come into your possession. And not to mention exclusive content.
If you’re a lucky Fortnite Crew subscriber, you can claim a Golden Look board glider. You’re only required to be active during the Winterfest on a daily basis.
Winterfest has a bag of toys for all fortniters. And what are your plans for Winterfest? Let us know in the comments!
