Where to Get the Big Chill
Players need to head to the mountains nearCatty Corner, close to where they have to plant evidence of Flush Factory. Players need to look for an NPC in the mountains named Snowmando, who players will be able to chat with. The NPC is a vendor who looks like a tactical snowman in a brown vest. The location is directly south of the road leading south out of Catty Corner, in the white-snowy part of the map. Look for a camp of tents, then look up; Snowmando will be on a little hill, overlooking the map.
Snowmando is also one of the skins available forFortnite’s winter celebrationthat dropped with the new patch, so if players like the look of him, they can grab the skin as well.
Snowmando is one of the newNPCs that players can chat with inFortniteSeason 5. He will have only one option when a player talks to him; purchasing the Big Chill Grenade Launcher. It doesn’t come cheap, however. In order to get this new exotic, players will have to fork over 1,455 gold bars. That is a lot of money for a weapon; it’s the largest amount of gold bars that players need to spend on a single weapon inFortniteso far.
Getting those Bars
With thenew 15.10Fortniteupdate, players may be wondering where the best place to farm those 1,400 gold bars might be. Players can look for destroyable in-game furniture; it will still take a while to get to the 1,455 needed for the Big Chill, but it will get players started on the road toFortnitewealth.
