Fortnite players are slamming the developers for the lazy design of the new Chapter 5 Season 2 battle pass glider.
Chapter 5 Season 2 is finally here after over a day of issues with the servers, matchmaking, and more. Even purchasing the battle pass was a struggle for many users.
But, now that the issues have subsided, the community has now switched its focus to the cosmetics, which are already under heavy scrutiny.
The initial critique was aimed at Aphrodite for her appearance, but the dissatisfaction doesn’t end there. The design of Cerberus’ glider is now being questioned, with players expressing concerns about its perceived lack of effort and creativity.
In other words, players just want to be able to ride their motorcycle.
Fortnite players question motorcycle glider
The first glider players can obtain is the “Grim Gatekeeper “ glider. This glider matches the Cerberus skin and is an underworld motorcycle.
Unlike other gliders that take the shape of a vehicle, the Grim Gatekeeper cannot be ridden. Instead, the developers opted to have the player hang on to it from handles at the bottom.

“Aw dang,” said one commenter on Reddit. “It’s not one where you ride on top? That kind of ruins it.”
People beneath the post immediately began comparing it to similar gliders that players could ride on top of. Which sparked the debate of why Epic would leave this feature out. Some even suggested that leaving the feature out was pure laziness.
“It boggles my mind that right after they put rideable bikes in,” said another commenter. “They started putting out all these bike gliders …that you NEVER ACTUALLY RIDE!”
While Chapter 5 Season 2 has been well received overall, there are some issues like this that have players scratching their heads.
Epic hasn’t addressed the community’s recent feedback on the state of the cosmetics. Additionally, since the bike has dedicated handles, it is unlikely that Epic will change it.
