How To Visit The Mariah Carey Event
CloseMariah brings the holiday spirit to Fortnite's Battle Royale mode. To find her, skydive toward the glowing gold aura on the map, just southeast of Brutal Boxcars. Once you arrive, wait a minute or two as she emerges dramatically from her icy enclosure.
Fighting is disabled at this point and location.
When she’s free, you can join her in a special dance emote. After her performance, Mariah will launch you high into the sky, giving you an aerial view before you land back in the action, ready to take on enemy players.
After your first visit to Mariah’s event, returning to her during subsequent games and dancing nearby for a set amount of time will earn you a Holiday Present — an item that rewards you with random loot. You can also buy these from her for 400 cash.
