Best gliders in Fortnite, according to the community
10) Coral Cruiser
Starting off the list is one of the game's most beloved gliders, the Coral Cruiser. This coral reef-inspired glider, introduced in Chapter 1 Season 7, has garnered much love with its tranquil colors, calming music, and the cute Coral Buddies that come with it.
The glider can be acquired whenever it is in the Item Shop for 800 V-Bucks, last available to purchase 66 days ago when writing the article. So, players can keep an eye out for it in Item Shop rotations.
9) The Petercopter
A newcomer to Fortnite's glider library, the Petercopter from the Chapter 5 Season 1 Battle Pass has attracted many eyes from the community. With its homage to one of the several quirky and unique gags from Family Guy and the design inspired by Peter Griffin, it promises to stand out as a fan favorite in the coming days.
The glider can be obtained through the Chapter 5 Season 1 Battle Pass and is part of the Bonus Rewards that players can unlock.
8) Equalizer
The Equalizer, released as a reward in the 14 Days of Fortnite challenges in Chapter 1 Season 7, earns its spot on the list with a balanced blend of simplicity and style. While it uses the default design as its basis, its animated equalizer bars synced with the music make it one of the more visually pleasing variants.
7) Holographic
Holographic, the victory umbrella from Chapter 1 Season 9, earns its rightful spot among one of the favorite gliders in the community.
It has a sleek and futuristic design. When mixed with short but impactful sound effects, the Holographic glider becomes not only one of the more aesthetically pleasing victory umbrellas but also one that fits perfectly with the futuristic theme of Chapter 1 Season 9.
6) Frostburn
A beloved addition from one of Fortnite's most exciting seasons, the Frostburn glider was introduced as part of the OG Pass in Chapter 4 Season 5. With its frost dragon-inspired design and homage to Ragnarok from the Chapter 1 Season 5 Battle Pass, it has earned a special place in the community's heart not only due to its pleasing design but also the nostalgia it carries.
5) Laser Chomp
One of the sillier yet still beloved gliders, the Laser Chomp glider introduced in Chapter 1 Season 5 is one of the most iconic additions to the game. As the name suggests, the Laser Chomp glider features a shark with a laser on its head. The entire concept is absurd yet hilarious, highlighting the game's dynamic nature.
The glider has become increasingly sought-after, and it was last seen in the Item Shop 109 days ago when writing the article, available for 1500 V-Bucks.
4) Silver Surfer's Surfboard
To add a touch of Marvel and superhero flair, the Silver Surfer's Surfboard offers a sleek and cosmic glider look for Fortnite players. The simple yet effective design and smooth animations pay homage to one of Marvel's most powerful and beloved characters, making it a hit among fans of both franchises.
While the glider was introduced in Chapter 2 Season 4 as an Item Shop item for 800 V-Bucks, it makes regular appearances in the Item Shop, last seen 39 days ago when writing the article.
3) Nimbus Cloud
From the world of Dragon Ball, the Nimbus Cloud glider brings an element of anime magic to the game. Introduced in Chapter 3 Season 3 as part of the Fortnite x Dragon Ball collaboration, the Nimbus Cloud glider lets players traverse the island on Goku's trusty cloud.
The Nimbus Cloud was available for purchase in the Item Shop for 800 V-Bucks and has become increasingly rare, being last seen exactly 500 days ago when writing the article.
2) One Shot
The umbrella for the Wick's Bounty LTM in Fortnite Chapter 1 Season 9, the One Shot glider exudes an aura of sleek sophistication that the John Wick character is known for. Its tactical, all-black design complements the intensity of battle associated with the iconic assassin, earning a beloved place within the hearts of many in the community.
Since the glider was only attainable through the Wick's Bounty challenges, it can no longer be acquired, making it incredibly rare.
1) Astroworld Cyclone
Closing out the list is the Astroworld Cyclone glider from the Travis Scott collaboration in Chapter 2 Season 2. Reflecting the psychedelic yet chaotic aesthetic associated with the artist, the glider's roller-coaster-inspired design adds a touch of musical energy to the Fortnite cosmetic library. The glider was an exclusive Item Shop glider that has not been seen since its release.
