Glider in Fortnite
The very first phase of any battle royale game on Fortnite is the free fall from the battle bus to the ground. In Fortnite, you don't have a parachute, but a glider! This means several things:
- You can activate and deactivate the glider as many times as you want during your fall, alternating between the descent phase and the gliding phase. This freedom disappears when you get too close to the ground, the game will then force you to keep the glider activated until the end of the fall.
- The glider allows you to fly long distances and it offers infinitely more freedom of movement in the air than a parachute, so you can reach a point far from where you fell off the bus.
- The fastest technique to touch the ground is to position yourself during your fall above the lowest possible point of relief, in order to open your glider as late as possible. Then head for a high point and you should be able to touch the ground in no time.
Warning: The glider won't get you down any faster when moving.
Bonus: if one day your glider suddenly turns into an umbrella, don't panic, this is the reward for players who have already won a game. It is only cosmetic and works like an ordinary glider.
