How to get a Glider in LEGO Fortnite

To access the Glider build, you must build two stations: The Spinning Wheel and the Loom. The Spinning Wheel allows you to create multiple necessary components for the vehicle, including Silk Thread and Wool Threads, which are made from silk found on spiders and wool from sheep.

On the other hand, the Loom allows you to transform those threads into Silk Fabric and Wool Fabric, which should unlock multiple pieces of furniture, items, and other goodies. Since the Glider is Rare level, you will also need to upgrade your Crafting Bench to the Rare level to unlock the equipment in the menu.

The Glider requires eight Flexwood Rods, four pieces of Wool Fabric, and six pieces of Silk Fabric, after which you’ll finally be able to fly away to lands unknown.

To use the Glider, players must jump off a high enough ledge before being prompted to press their jump key or button to activate. You can deactivate the Glider early, immediately driving you to fall from the sky. You will slowly float to the ground if you don’t hold down a directional key or thumbstick.

Tip: Equipping the Glider

To properly equip the glider, add it to your player character, like charms and other items in the bottom right corner of your character’s inventory screen.

There is no way to elevate in the Glider, so you’ll be sorely disappointed if you’re trying to catch some momentum to zoom back up to continue your flight.


Now that you know how to unlock and build a Glider in LEGO Fortnite, you can get out there and float around to your heart’s desire. Happy gliding!
