Where to visit different Snowmando outposts in Fortnite and unlock the "Shield Surprise" back bling

Fortnite's winter event is live now, and instead of Crackshot from last year's Winterfest, fans get to witness Snowmando and it's outposts in Operation Snowdown.

Along with the release of Operation Snowdown, Epic Games has also introduced a bunch of unlockable cosmetics in the game. Some of these cosmetics, such as the Frost Squad outfit, can require players to complete up to 12 challenges from the Operation Snowdown quest to unlock.

However, the Shield Surprise back bling can be obtained in a much easier way, by simply visiting all the five Snowmando outposts available in Fortnite.

The five Snowmando outposts in Fortnite are scattered across the map, making it difficult for players to visit all five in a single game. However, with some luck and timing, players can manage to visit all the five Snowmando outposts in a single game of Fortnite and unlock the Shield Surprise back bling cosmetic.

Here's how players can complete the Operation Showdown quest of visiting five Snowmando outposts to unlock the Shield Surprise back bling in Fortnite.
