How to get all Winterfest gifts in Fortnite

3 days ago 3

Fortnite’s much-awaited holiday update has finally arrived as Winterfest 2024 kicked off with a mini live event on the Chapter 6 Season 1 Battle Royale map. The event consisted of popular singer Mariah Carey breaking through ice and spreading Christmas cheer on the island with her signature song All I Want For Christmas Is You.

After the live event was concluded, the singer became an NPC that can now be found on the island and grants free presents to players when they emote with her to the Christmas track. Epic has also returned the Yule Log Cabin (also known as Winterfest Cabin) and players can claim some free cosmetic rewards by opening gifts.

If this is your first Winterfest and you’re wondering how it all works, fret not, we’ve got you covered right here with all the information.

How to open presents and claim free items in Fortnite

In order to open presents, you’ll need to head to the Winterfest Lodge by navigating to the Snowflake Icon on the top menu bar within Fortnite. Once you select that, you’ll be given a prompt to enter the Winterfest Lodge, where you need to slect Visit Lodge.

As soon as you’re inside the lodge, you can open One Present each day, all the way up until January 5, 2025, when Winterfest comes to an end. The presents are reset every day at 9 a.m. ET. You can even open more than one present if you haven’t opened any before. You can also open all the presents on the last day of Winterfest and you’ll get all the rewards, but we advise you to open one each day and also get some XP by chilling by the fireplace inside the lodge.

You’ll see two sides of the lodge filled with presents, some are located toward the left-hand side of Santa Dogg (new Snoop Dogg skin) and some on the right.

All Adventure Books in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

An adventure book in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

Professor Jones in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a scholar more than an action hero. Sure, he will pull off plenty of death-defying stunts while solving puzzles, hunting down collectibles, and fighting Nazis across his globe-trotting adventures, but combat will never do a thing to add to or improve your abilities. Instead, Adventure Books are the keys to unlocking new and better skills. Sadly, Indy never makes a pitstop to a library on his quest, so we have to find these valuable tomes ourselves. Let's study up on all the Adventure Books in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and how they work.
How Adventure Books work
Indiana is smart, but apparently not so smart that just finding an Adventure Book is enough to learn all its secrets. Collecting the book is just the first step, but unlocking its ability requires you to go into the Books tab of the menu, highlight it, and spend your Adventure Points to unlock whatever skill it can grant you. Once you have unlocked it, that skill will be permanently active from that point forward.
All Adventure Books and what they do
There are dozens of Adventure Books in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, but many of them are upgraded versions of the same one that simply boost their power. Here is a full list of all the Adventure Books, what skill the provide, how many Adventure Points (AP) it costs to unlock, and what level you can find them in.
