Where does Santa spawn in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1?

Many players have been wondering, where does Santa spawn in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1? This question has been at the back of players' minds since the start of Winterfest 2022. While there's no Santa Clause to speak off, the character being referred to as St. Nicholas is none other than Sgt. Winters.

While he's not the nicest NPC on the island and is most certainly not quite all there in the head, he does bring in the holiday cheer by distributing presents. That said, players are still struggling to find one on the island. Nevertheless, there are a few ways to narrow down the search to locate him.

All possible locations where Santa spawns in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1

First off, it should be mentioned that there's no fixed spawn location. Santa aka Sgt. Winters and The Holiday Big Rig can be found anywhere on the map. As long as there's a proper road network, there's a chance that he'll be seen traveling down the road.

On that note, players should keep in mind that he also spawns in the snow biome, but spotting him will be difficult. Due to inhospitable terrain and hills, visibility will be hampered. This leaves the grass biome as the best place to find him.

That said, an easy way to find him is by landing between Anvil Square and Brutal Bastion. Players should hover as long as possible in the air to spot him. However, keep in mind that this method has risks involved. The longer players stay in the air, the less likely they are to find good weapons on the ground.

An alternative method is to land, gear up, and look for Launch Pads to gain verticality. Since players will be geared up, they can afford to not have to look for better loot until mid-game. Hopefully, by staying in the air in the right place at the right time, players will run into him.

Given that his spawn location is random in every match, finding him the first time around may not be possible. Nevertheless, with Fortnite Winterfest 2022 still having a way to go, there's plenty of time to find him in-game.

What does Santa give players in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1?

Well, this largely depends on how players conduct themselves in front of Sgt. Winters. If they approach him in a civilized manner, he will drop a Holiday Present containing loot and speed away into the sunset. Players can use their Harvesting Tool to break it open and claim the goodies inside.

In general, players will find Winterfest-themed weapons and supplementary items that range from shield potions to all kinds of ammo in the current loot pool. Essentially, the Holiday Present is like an up-scaled version of a Supply Drop.

However, if players decide to be aggressive and attack Sgt. Winters, he and his elves won't hesitate to open fire and gift players some hot lead. Nevertheless, those willing and up to the task can take down Santa in Fortnite and steal The Holiday Big Rig or impersonate Sgt. Winters and ambush unsuspecting opponents.
