Fortnite is celebrating the festive season with all of us with a new set of Winterfest challenges that give players new things to do and plenty of rewards to unlock.

If the cold weather brought on by winter has you stuck inside the house all day, you can make use of that time by working through the Winterfest challenges.

There are 14 different challenges in total, to celebrate the 14 days of Christmas, and they will require you to check out the new locations on the map and try out all of the added items for the event.

Epic GamesWinter has arrived in Fortnite Chapter 2, bringing an all new location called Shiver Inn.

Fortnite leaker HYPEX revealed the entire list of challenges so players can get an early head start on what to expect from them. The full list can be found below as well as the rewards.

A few items from last year make an appearance once again, such as the Sneaky Snowman, so if you’re a long-time Fortnite player you’ll see some familiar faces while looking through the list.

As an added bonus, you won’t have to purchase the Battle Pass to have access to any of these challenges so they are available to you completely free of charge.

Challenges like these are an excellent way for players to get some free cosmetics so they aren’t forced to run around in the game without a skin.

Keep in mind that one of the 14 is still missing so we’ll have to wait and see what that mysterious one is.

Make sure you complete every challenge available so you’re able to get all of the rewards and show them off to your friends! The snow will eventually melt and these challenges will disappear so get out there while you can.
