The Yulejacket skin is one of the main rewards in Fortnite’s Winterfest 2024, but you can’t just grab it right away. If you’ve opened the Winterfest Lodge and tried to get this skin, you might have noticed that the green present containing it won’t open. That’s because there’s a specific order you need to follow to unlock it.
Let me walk you through exactly what you need to do to add this outfit to your collection, along with everything else you should know about getting it.
The Yulejacket skin is inside the tall green box with a red ribbon, located on the left side of the Winterfest Lodge. However, there’s an important catch – you can’t open this box right away. The game forces you to save it until you’ve opened all other presents on the left side of the Lodge first.
To access the Winterfest Lodge and start collecting presents:
Since you can only unwrap one present per day, you’ll need to log in regularly to make progress toward getting the Yulejacket skin. The Lodge shows a timer in the upper left corner that tells you when you can open your next gift.
The Yulejacket outfit is pretty straightforward – you get a female character in a winter outfit that really fits the holiday season. She’s wearing a white blazer with red on the inside, paired with a red Christmas hat. Her face has a red mask, and her black hair has some pink at the bottom. The whole look comes together nicely without being too flashy.
Getting the Yulejacket skin is definitely worth the effort since it’s completely free. The main investment is your time – you’ll need to log in regularly during Winterfest to open presents. Even if you’re not able to log in every single day, you still have until January 7 to collect all your presents.
While you’re waiting to unlock the Yulejacket skin, you can also earn bonus XP just by watching the fireplace in the Lodge. This makes visiting the Lodge worthwhile even on days when you’ve already opened your present.
Remember, Winterfest 2024 runs until January 7, 2025, at 9 AM ET, so make sure to log in regularly to claim all your presents, including the Yulejacket skin. Even if you start a bit late, you’ll still have enough time to collect everything as long as you visit the Lodge consistently.
