Mariah Carey congratulates the heroes of Fortnite

Epic Games company could not stay away from the fashionable in online games celebration and prepared with a wide scope. Especially for Christmas in the "battle royal" will arrive famous singer Mariah Carey. Not personally, but in the form of a digital copy, of course. Also, the characters will be able to try on a decorated Christmas tree outfit, Santa Shaka suit (with Shaquille O'Neal's face), get a themed set of equipment and use it all not only in the main game, but also in LEGO-mode.

Winterfest has begun, which will last until January 7. This means that snow has fallen on the island of "battle royal" and all users will receive gifts. Let's start with the fact that for experience points you can buy images of original heroes from 2017 - for example, a renegade raider and an airborne paratrooper. After changing their appearance, the heroes are free to go to the Christmas house, where gifts are already packed - colorfully decorated ornaments, pickaxes, gliders, hats, Christmas-style costumes and other items. This is also where you can find skins like Santa Dogg. Those who aren't too interested in ribboned boxes can just warm themselves by the fireplace.

The pop star also presents gifts - it's easy to meet her on snowy parts of the island, and then dance with Cary for a bonus. In combat modes, two items will help you out: Blizzard grenade, which deals additional damage with frost, and shoe modification, which allows you to quickly glide across terrain and even water as if your hero were on ice skates. The tasks during the winter festival are given out by Sgt. Winter. And what you can't get for completing his quests, you can buy in the virtual store for in-game currency or experience points.
