Summary

  • Fortnite fans are frustrated with cruel players camping at quest locations.
  • Specifically, players are ruining the Wintervestigation quest for others.
  • Exploiting bot lobbies or sneaking around campers are approaches players are using to complete the quest, though players remain annoyed that others are halting their process.

Fortnite fans are quite unhappy with players who are camping at quest locations and preventing them from completing them. While Fortnite players have periodically suffered from this issue over the years, the effects are much more amplified right now because several users are trying to complete the limited-time Winterfest quests in the game.

The last few weeks have been quite eventful for Fortnite fans as a plethora of exciting content was released in the game. Be it the release of a new Juice WRLD song in Fortnite or the return of the classic maps, Epic Games has surpassed the expectations of the community time and again. With the year coming to an end, some more events have been added to the game, but fans seem to be having a bit of trouble with them.

In a new post on the Fortnite subreddit, user BKF0308 expresses their frustration over an annoying pattern they are witnessing in the game. The 2024 Winterfest event in Fortnite, known as Wintervestigation, requires players to talk to the NPC Noir to accept their first case. While that sounds like a pretty straightforward quest to do, it seems like some players are using it as an opportunity to get a few free kills. Apparently, players are camping at Noir's location to catch others off-guard and take them down while they try to interact with him.

How to Complete Fortnite Winterinvestigation Quests

Thankfully, some players have devised a clever strategy to complete this quest and take down the campers at the same time. In order to pull it off, players will first need to find a Sprite Shrine in Fortnite near Noir. Then, using the Air Sprite, one needs to reach the top of the building where Noir is located. Players can then break the roof, land right inside, and sneak toward the stairs to defeat the campers, as that seems to be one of their most popular hiding spots. After that, players can simply interact with Noir and complete the quest. There is also another way to accomplish this, although it's a bit more tedious.

In order to use the other method, players can make use of bot lobbies in Fortnite. For that, players will need two accounts, those being their main as well as an alternate account. Then, players should make a Duos lobby with both of these accounts and then exit the match from their second account. Since the other account is new, it will create a lobby with mostly bots, making it significantly easier for players to complete the challenge. It is crucial to note that players should avoid using their second account to get any kills or points and exit as soon as possible, otherwise the other account will stop finding bot lobbies.
