Fortnite WinterFest 2022: How to get the Curling Iron emote for free

The 2022 edition of the annual Fortnite Christmas update Winterfest is here, and once again, it has brought joy to the world with free cosmetics, exciting quests, and tons of XP players can get this holiday season. As the update goes live today, players will see a brand new Winter Cabin in action awaiting them with free presents to open.

However, several freebies can only be redeemed after players either complete a quest or a challenge or redeem it from the game's store. One of the cosmetics leaked earlier today and is confirmed to be a reward for one of the Winterfest 2022 quests is the Curling Iron emote.

Players can get their hands on this emote for free during Winterfest 2022. However, to redeem it, you must complete a quest with the help of your friends. Group quests are pretty rare in Fortnite, and you require an equal amount of effort from each participant to complete and gain rewards from them. However, this one is simple to complete and will reward players with the free limited emote.

Squad Up and Redeem the Curling Iron emote for free at Fortnite Winterfest 2022

Fortnite players now stand a chance to get a free to emote during Winterfest 2022. The Curling Iron Emote is free for players from December 13, 2022, 9:00 am ET, to January 3, 2023, 9:00 am ET. However, there is a catch before players can get this emote.

You will need to play Fortnite with five different friends from your friend list in any game mode during Winterfest 2022. Players can play any time between the dates mentioned above when they will be eligible to get this emote for free.

However, the emote will be rewarded to players on or around January 6, 2022. This means that even if you complete the quest on the first day of Winterfest, you will need to wait another month to get the emote.

The quest even gives new players a fair chance to make new friends during the holiday season and play Fortnite with them to get rewarded with the Curling Iron emote. There are also several more cosmetics, like free skins and gliders, to a acquire during Winterfest 2022 that new players can also get for free.

While Winterfest 2022 has just hit the game, it has also brought back classic items like Snowball Launcher and Snowballs to hide in snow biomes across the new Chapter 4 Season 1 island. Adding to the fun, Sgt. Winter will be patrolling the island in his truck and throwing presents at players with Epic or Legendary loot.

Moreover, a few new items, like Guardian Shield, are also rumored to be released soon. It seems like this year's Winterfest will be much more exciting and bigger than previous editions as the new chapter of Fortnite is both exciting, filled with a new loot pool, Augments, and revamped graphics built entirely on Unreal Engine 5.1.
