Onyx Winter can be found at the O.X.R. HQ named location, more specifically on the building in the center of the POI.

There are three outposts in Fortnite that are prone to bug infestations, and here is where to find them:

  • Canyon Crossing
  • Northwest of Supernova Academy
  • North of Outpost Enclave

Players can check their map at the start of the match to take a look at these locations; two of them will have a bug marker over them, symbolizing that they're currently overrun with bugs. To defend an outpost, players must clear 20 bugs. They can do this quickly by focusing on weaker and smaller bugs, such as the Swarmers.

Next, players are tasked with eliminating 30 opponents at The Hive or the Ranger's Ruin. Thankfully, these named locations are swarming with bugs. Since the quest description only mentions opponents and not just enemy players, gamers can actually complete this quest by taking down bugs as well as other players. Gamers can easily farm kills by shooting at bug hives and forcing them to come out in groups.
