Although players can claim the Snowmando skin by themselves, they will require the assistance of in-game friends to unlock the Frost Squad skin.

The reason behind this is that the quests are designed in such a manner that players will need to complete a few co-op quests to reach the designated 12 quests.

Here's everything that players need to know about the Operation Snowdown Quests and how they can unlock the Frost Squad skin in Fortnite.
