Winterfest is one of the biggest Fortnite events of the year. Gamers have the opportunity to open presents every day and earn free items, and they also get to use thematic items exclusive to the event during Battle Royale matches. This event is a fun way to spice things up for fans who have played the game all year.
Fortnite: When Does the Winterfest Event Start?
Fortnite Winterfest celebrations will start soon, here’s when gamers can expect the event to go live.
Players can now find a Winterfest-exclusive item on the map: the Sneaky Snowmando. This is a classic Fortnite item that tends to be unvaulted around this time of the year. This guide will show players what they must do in order to get their hands on the Sneaky Snowmando.
How to Get the Sneaky Snowmando
Although the Winterfest update isn’t officially out yet, a couple of thematic items have already been added to Fortnite through the NPCs on the map – this is the case of the Sneaky Snowmando. Players won’t be able to find this item as part of the chest and floor loot pool, but they will be able to acquire it by purchasing it from an NPC.
To get the Sneaky Snowmando early in Fortnite, gamers must talk to Leelah; this NPC can be found at Stormy Station, just southeast of Hazy Hillside. Leelah has three Sneaky Snowmando items in stock, and they cost 100 gold bars each.
How to Use the Sneaky Snowmando
The Sneaky Snowmando item allows players to hide inside large snowmen. To use it, gamers must equip the Sneaky Snowmando and then throw it in whichever direction they would like. Once the Sneaky Snowmando hits the ground, a snowman will immediately appear. If players throw the item at their feet, they will hide inside a snowman right away. However, they can also approach a snowman and go inside.
While opponents that walk by may not notice a solitary snowman, gamers might want to throw a couple of these on the ground so that if their opponent decides to check what’s inside, they’ll be less likely to uncover their hiding place right away. Thankfully, the Sneaky Snowmando has infinite uses, so players can use it as many times as they would like.
While inside the Sneaky Snowmando, players will be able to move, but they won’t be able to attack, as this will immediately thaw the snowman and cause it to disappear.
