The Return of Holiday Favorites
The spirit of Winterfest has unvaulted the gameplay favorites that fans wait all year for. Whether you’re looking to cause chaos from a distance or slip away from a fight, the winter armory is fully stocked:
-
Snowball Launcher: The iconic explosive returns, launching festive projectiles that deal heavy area-of-effect damage.
-
Icy Feet: Stay frosty! You can gain the Icy Feet effect through Blizzard Grenades or by defeating the new seasonal boss. It allows you to slide across the terrain at high speeds, making you a difficult target to hit.
-
Sneaky Snowmen & Holiday Presents: The classic “Presents” items are back, but with a twist—this year, they drop high-tier loot specifically from the Fortnite OG pool.
The Winterfest Cabin: 14 Days of Free Gifts
The fan-favorite Winterfest Cabin is back and can be accessed via the snowflake icon in the main menu. Lt. Winter has prepared 14 daily presents for players to unwrap.
Important Change: Unlike previous years, presents do not stack this year. You must log in daily to open your gift; if you miss a day, that specific present window is gone!
Key Rewards Include:
-
Glacial Dummy Skin: Unlocks after opening 7 presents.
-
Cheeks (Hamster Man) Skin: Unlocks after opening all 13 other presents.
-
Festive Bat & Wrapped Axe: Limited-edition pickaxes to swing into the new year.
Map Changes: Clawsy Lodge & The Yule Trooper
The top half of the Chapter 7 map is now buried in snow, featuring the new Clawsy Lodge POI. This festive hotspot is filled with high-tier chests but is guarded by a new threat.
-
The Yule Trooper Boss: Patrolling the snowy regions, this holiday hunter drops the Mythic Holo SMG and a Medallion that grants the wearer the permanent ability to trigger the Icy Feet effect at will.
Holiday Collaborations
Winterfest 2025 is also a massive event for the Item Shop, featuring some of the biggest crossovers of the year:
-
Harry Potter: Hogwarts House uniforms and a Hogsmeade-themed cabin interior.
-
Sabrina Carpenter: The “Santa ‘Brina” skin and new Jam Tracks.
-
Hatsune Miku: The “Snow Miku” variant.
-
Bleach: Four iconic characters including Ichigo and Rukia arrive on December 20th.
