Gliders (Item)

Gliders are an item in Fortnite: Battle Royale. They were introduced in Season 7.

Functionality
Gliders allow the player to redeploy their glider after falling a certain height. This negates fall damage and increases movement speed. The redeployed glider functions identically to other gliders. When one redeploy is used, a glider is deducted from the stack.

Obtained
Gliders could be found in the standard ways, mainly floor loot and in chests. It could also be found in Supply Llamas and Supply Drops.

Strategy Guide

 * The Glider is ideal for negating fall damage, as not only does it save you from a fall, but it also allows you to glide to a safe location.

Season 7

 * Update v7.20: Introduced the Glider as an item. It comes in rarity.

Season 9

 * Update v9.00: With Team Rumble's permanent inclusion, Players now spawn with a 50 Glider stack in their inventory upon starting a match.

Season X

 * Update v10.00: Vaulted the Glider. Remains in Team Rumble.

 * Update v11.00: Removed the Glider from Team Rumble, Glider Redeploy is now default for the mode.

Trivia

 * Itemized Gliders were introduced as a resolution to a game balance dilemma for Battle Royale. Prior to the inclusion, various modes had Glider Redeploy enabled as default, without an item. After this was scrapped, the Itemized Glider was introduced.
 * Prior to Chapter 2: Season 1, Gliders existed in Team Rumble in stacks of 50 in the player's inventory, upon starting a match. They could be dropped, but would not stack back to 50. Without them, the player could not redeploy their glider.
 * This also meant players who wanted to redeploy their glider had to forfeit an inventory slot to accommodate the Gliders.
 * Prior to Chapter 2: Season 1, the Gliders' icon was of the current The O.G., but a slightly different render of the Glider.
