Here’s how to build a glider in LEGO Fortnite to help players travel around the map much quicker.
We’re four days removed from the introduction of the LEGO Fortnite game mode, and players are still finding new items and tools they can craft.
Although players were expecting a polished game mode from Epic Games, it’s unlikely many expected Epic to have so much content on release.
There’s a large catalog of items players can craft from axes to different tools to help them progress in their survival world.
One of the pain points in LEGO Fortnite is all the travel players will have to do to find different resources and locations including the caves found in different biomes.
However, LEGO Fortnite players have discovered that you can build a glider in LEGO Fortnite to travel around the map much faster than you can by foot.
Here’s a guide on how players can craft/build their own glider in LEGO Fortnite.
How to Build/Craft a Glider in LEGO Fortnite – Full Guide
Three things you’ll need to build a glider in LEGO Fortnite are a spinning wheel, a loom, and upgrade your crafting bench to rare or above.
You’ll want to start by hunting some spiders and eliminate them. You’ll want to do this to pick up the silk that they drop.
Next, you’ll want to find as many sheep as you can and pet them to pick up the wool that they drop.
Once you’ve done the above steps, you’ll want to use your spinning wheel and insert the wool and silk you’ve picked up from the spiders and sheep.
By inserting your wool and silk into the spinning wheel, you’ll receive wool thread and silk thread, two items you need to build and get a glider in LEGO Fortnite.
You’ll then need to head to the loom tool you should have created and insert the silk and wool threads that the spinning wheel created for you.
The above step will provide you with both silk and wool fabric.
Once you’re done with that, you’ll want to get some Flexwood. We have a dedicated guide on Flexwood over here.
Essentially, you’ll need a rare pickaxe and need to head into the Dry Valley Mases. Once there, you’ll want to find cacti and destroy them to get Flexwood.
If you don’t have a rare pickaxe, you have the option to create toy explosive barrels which require planks and blast powder to create.
Blast powder is dropped regularly by desert skeletons. Then, just head to a bunch of cactus in the desert and use the barrel to destroy the cactus and get yourself Flexwood.
Once you’ve done the above, you’ll want to put the Flexwood into a lumber mill and create flexwood rods.
Once you’ve done all the above steps, go to your crafting bench, and underneath “crafting recipes”, you’re going to find the glider item to build/craft in LEGO Fortnite.
Click the craft button, and you’ll create a glider in LEGO Fortnite.
How to use/deploy Glider in LEGO Fortnite and Travel Faster Around the Map
Once you’ve done everything listed above and you’ve got your Glider in LEGO Fortnite, you’ll need to go to a high location and jump.
As you’re in the air, jump again and you’ll be gliding around the map and traveling faster in LEGO Fortnite.
