Fortnite The Snowdown challenges have just gone live and that means Battle Royale fans everywhere have a chance to unlock free gifs in the coming weeks. The first challenge of the set requires players to visit various Snowmando outposts. In this guide, we’ll reveal some possible locations you can use to guide you to a free gift.
Fortnite Snowmando Outpost locations
For this challenge, you must visit at least one of the five known Snowmando Outpost buildings scattered around the Battle Royale map. The challenge seems to be a bit wrong when publishing this article, which means that outposts may not appear for every match, regardless of the queue you select. If this happens, simply reload in a new hallway and try again. With this disclaimer, here are all five Snowmando Outpost locations you can use:

Epic games
1) Around the Catty Corner weather tower area.

2) Right west of Pleasant Park.

3) South of Holly Hedges.

4) South of the Steamy stacks.

5) East of Slurpy Swamp.

All you have to do to complete the first two Snowdown challenges is visit one of these locations and look for chests scattered around the area. In fact, you can see the buildings on the minimap if you zoom in up close, which should help you get closer to a location.

As we might expect, visiting the various Snowmando outposts counts only for one of the challenges of Operation Snowdown, which is likely to launch in Fortnite until the beginning of January.

So far, the leakers have deduced that the rewards of the challenge amount to Battle Pass XP and two free skins called Frost Squad and Snowmando, respectively. Snowmando is already an NPC on the Battle Royale map, so fans already know what it looks like. However, Frost Squad is essentially just a girl dressed in a pale blue snow suit and shirt. We will do our best to help you get through the most challenging challenges as they become available.
Fortnite is now available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, Switch, PC and Android.
