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.

How to unlock a Glider in LEGO Fortnite

To unlock the Glider in LEGO Fortnite, follow the steps outlined below: 

1. Build a Loom using 9 Flexwood, 8 Flexwood Rods, and 6 Sand Claws.
2. Obtain Silk from a spider by heading over to the Grasslands.
3. Obtain Wool from a sheep by going to the Frostland biome.
4. Put the Silk and Wool into the Loom to make Silk and Wool Thread.
5. Use the Loom again to make Silk and Wool Fabric.
6. Stack up on Flexwood Rods, and you’ll unlock the Glider recipe in the Equipment menu.

Once you have those ready, head to your Crafting Table and ensure it’s upgraded to a higher level.

Now that you have the Glider recipe, you’ll need to get the following items to make it: 

• 8 Flexwood Rods
• 4 Wool Fabric
• 6 Silk Fabric

Once you’ve made your Glider, equip it in your inventory’s utility slot. As soon as you equip it, head to higher ground and jump off. Then deploy the glider and move around your world freely to cover more ground as you explore in LEGO Fortnite.

While a glider has no durability limit, it’ll be wise to stack up another one in a chest if you’d like to share it with your friends. So, be sure to farm up plenty of materials using the recipe above.
