Fortnite: Operation Snowdown Winter Event Brings Free Skins, Quests, And More
<p dir="ltr">Epic Games has launched its latest seasonal event in Fortnite: Battle Royale, and as you might guess from the name, it's a winter-themed one. Operation Snowdown brings new activities and free rewards for all players to take part in and earn from now until January 5.</p><p dir="ltr">During Operation Snowdown, the NPC Snowmando will offer quests (such as tracking down <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fortnite-snowmando-outpost-location-where-to-find-snowmando-outposts/1100-6485683/">Snowmando outpost locations</a>) with a variety of new seasonal rewards, such as the Frosty Globes pickaxe, Shield Surprise back bling, and more gliders and wraps, plus another back bling and pickaxe. You can get a peek at some of these in the image below. There are also new and returning skins/outfits to purchase on the Fortnite item shop. Everyone can also now claim the Sing Along emote, which causes you to pull out a book and begin caroling, for free from the item shop--if you purchased it previously, you'll get your V-Bucks refunded.</p><div data-embed-type="video" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBEbZBthWY8" data-width="100%" data-height="100%"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/uBEbZBthWY8" width="100%" height="100%" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe></div><figure data-embed-type="gallery" data-img-src="https://gamespot1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/123/1239113/3775078-fortnitesnow3.jpg,https://gamespot1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/123/1239113/3775079-fortnitesnow2.jpg,https://gamespot1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/123/1239113/3775080-fortnitesnow1.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-3775078,1300-3775079,1300-3775080" data-resize-urls="https://gamespot1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/square_avatar/123/1239113/3775078-fortnitesnow3.jpg,https://gamespot1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/square_avatar/123/1239113/3775079-fortnitesnow2.jpg,https://gamespot1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/square_avatar/123/1239113/3775080-fortnitesnow1.jpg"><div class="image-gallery__label">Gallery</div> <div class="image-gallery__list hide-scrollbar image-gallery__list--small"> <a href="https://gamespot1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/123/1239113/3775078-fortnitesnow3.jpg"> <img src="https://gamespot1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/square_avatar/123/1239113/3775078-fortnitesnow3.jpg" alt="Gallery image 1" data-full-srcset="https://gamespot1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/123/1239113/3775078-fortnitesnow3.jpg 1920w, https://gamespot1.cbsistatic.com/uploads...esnow3.jpg 1280w, https://gamespot1.cbsistatic.com/uploads...esnow3.jpg 480w" /> </a> <a href="https://gamespot1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/123/1239113/3775079-fortnitesnow2.jpg"> <img src="https://gamespot1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/square_avatar/123/1239113/3775079-fortnitesnow2.jpg" alt="Gallery image 2" data-full-srcset="https://gamespot1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/123/1239113/3775079-fortnitesnow2.jpg 1920w, https://gamespot1.cbsistatic.com/uploads...esnow2.jpg 1280w, https://gamespot1.cbsistatic.com/uploads...esnow2.jpg 480w" /> </a> <a href="https://gamespot1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/123/1239113/3775080-fortnitesnow1.jpg"> <img src="https://gamespot1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/square_avatar/123/1239113/3775080-fortnitesnow1.jpg" alt="Gallery image 3" data-full-srcset="https://gamespot1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/123/1239113/3775080-fortnitesnow1.jpg 1920w, https://gamespot1.cbsistatic.com/uploads...esnow1.jpg 1280w, https://gamespot1.cbsistatic.com/uploads...esnow1.jpg 480w" /> </a> </div> </figure><p dir="ltr">While you're playing, you'll also encounter new tools to get the job done.
