Winterfest, one of the most highly anticipated Fortnite holiday events of the year, will soon be coming to an end, so gamers must wrap things up before the festivities are gone for good. Besides opening the presents at the lodge, players also have to complete the last few Winterfest Quests to ensure that they collect as much XP as they can.
Fortnite: Ultimate XP Guide
Players can level up extremely fast in Fortnite to reach Level 100 and beyond by using these effective methods found across Fortnite's multiple modes.
One of the last Winterfest Quests requires players to find the secret files for Sgr. Winter's Naughty or Nice list. While the quest marker points gamers in the right direction, it might not be enough to locate it, as it's hidden underground, in a maze of tunnels.
How to Find the Secret Files for Sgt. Winter's Naughty or Nice List in Fortnite
Where Are the Secret Files at Foxy Floodgate?
When gamers receive the quest to find the secret files for Sgt. Winter's Naughty or Nice list, the quest will mark Foxy Floodgates as the objective location. However, when they get there, they'll notice that it marks the bridge, but there is nothing on it - the files are located underneath the bridge.
There are two ways to reach the files, through the pipes on the northern wall of the dam or through the passage on the southeastern part of the bridge.
Southeastern Entrance
There is a small station on the bridge at Foxy Floodgate. Inside, there is a lower level that can only be reached if players jump over the railing and drop down. Here, they must turn a corner to find a gate to prevent people from getting inside the dam's tunnels. Gamers can break this gate with their pickaxe and enter the tunnels.
They must then slide down to reach the lower level. The secret files can be found between the two wedges on the wall.
Northeastern Wall Pipes
To avoid the maze inside the tunnels, gamers can drop down onto one of the two pipes on the lower level of the dam and break open the gates with a pickaxe to get inside.
Here, they must be careful, as it's easy to fall onto the water down below. Players will want to build a floor or grab onto the ledge using parkour moves.
The secret files are located between the two pipe entrances, so if they take the eastern pipe, they must turn right, and if they take the western pipe, they must turn left.
Gamers must interact with the files three times to complete the first quest, and then they will be asked to check the list a second time.
