The much-awaited Winterfest event in Fortnite is nearing its conclusion, prompting players to complete their tasks before the holiday fun comes to an end. In addition to unwrapping gifts in the lodge, players must finish up the remaining Winterfest Quests to maximize their XP gains.
One of the final challenges asks players to discover the elusive files from Sgt. Winter’s Naughty or Nice list. Although the quest marker directs players toward their goal, it may not suffice since the files are cleverly concealed underground, within a network of tunnels.
How to Locate the Secret Files for Sgt. Winter’s Naughty or Nice List
Finding the Secret Files at Foxy Floodgate
Upon accepting the quest, players will be directed to Foxy Floodgate as their objective. However, upon arrival, they will find that the quest marker highlights the bridge without revealing the secretive nature of the files, which are actually hidden beneath it.
To access the files, gamers have two potential routes: via the pipes located along the northern wall of the dam or through an entry point situated on the southeastern side of the bridge.
Accessing the Southeastern Entrance
On the bridge at Foxy Floodgate, there is a small station. Inside, players will find a lower level that can only be accessed by jumping over the railing and dropping down. Once inside, they will need to navigate around a corner to find a gate designed to block entry into the dam’s tunnel system. Players can eliminate this obstruction with their pickaxe to proceed.
Next, they will slide down to reach the tunnels below where the secret files are tucked away between two wall wedges.
Navigating the Northeastern Wall Pipes
To bypass the complex maze in the tunnels, players can drop onto one of the two accessible pipes on the dam’s lower level. Breaking through the gates with a pickaxe will allow entry.
It’s crucial for players to tread carefully, as falling into the water below is a distinct possibility. Utilizing building techniques or gripping the ledges will enhance their chances of safely maneuvering.
The secret files are located between the entrances of the two pipes: if players opt for the eastern pipe, a right turn will guide them to the files; conversely, those choosing the western pipe should turn left.
Players need to interact with the files three times to successfully complete this quest. After the first interaction, they will be prompted to check the list a second time.
