How to get a Glider in LEGO Fortnite

The glider is a crucial item in LEGO Fortnite, greatly facilitating your survival adventure. Here’s a guide on obtaining it.

LEGO Fortnite is one of the most thrilling modes ever to grace the Battle Royale game by Epic Games, and the developers claim it’s here to stay. In less than a week, the mode’s player count has already surpassed the public stats for Season OG.

While players engage in their survival adventure by crafting intricate worlds and inventing new builds, there are several LEGO Fortnite items that can prove to be extremely useful. In addition to food, weapons, and shelter, a Glider is an essential item for players to possess in their inventory.

Since the item is not easily obtainable in LEGO Fortnite and requires some effort to obtain, a Glider can help you travel between biomes while conserving your stamina and providing a surge of adrenaline that comes from leaping from a height and gliding through your own world.

Here’s how you can craft and acquire a Glider in LEGO Fortnite.
