The Glider is a special type of vehicle in Fortnite Battle Royale.

Overview
You can deploy the glider anytime after jumping off the Battle Bus, while you are Skydiving.
Your Glider lets you fly slowly and with more control, as opposed to Skydiving.

Strategy Guide/Tips
- The Glider will deploy automatically once you get close enough to the ground.
- As long as you are not close to the ground yet, you can switch between gliding and Skydiving at any time.
- It is best to Skydive for as long as possible, as Skydiving is faster than gliding, and it will get you to the landing point quicker.
Glider Skins
You can buy different types of Glider Skins in the Cash Shop, using V-bucks. These can be equipped in the Locker, along with all of your other customization options.
