Operation Snowdown is underway!
Fortnite’s annual winter-themed event has arrived. Formerly known as the 14 Days of Fortnite and Winterfest, Operation Snowdown is the latest branding for this exciting time of year. Epic Games once again brought plenty of rewards to the table and resurrected some in-game items that have been absent for quite a while. Operation Snowdown is now live in-game, offering a snowy experience and exclusive goodies from December 18 to January 5.

Planes, Chiller Grenades and Much More!
Operation Snowdown 2020 brought back Fortnite’s version of an airplane, known as the X-4 Stormwing. We have not seen this vehicle since Chapter 1 - Season 8, so it’ll be interesting to see how these factor into the newest season. Additionally, winter-themed items like the Chiller Grenade, Snowball Launcher and Sneaky Snowmen have also returned. Let’s not forget that Christmas presents are available to find as well, which tend to give better loot than any normal chest.
