Fortnite Unleashes a Legendary Surprise: The Return of Its Most Coveted Item!

Highlights

Fortnite has finally brought back one of its rarest cosmetics, the Globetrotter glider, after 1,528 days.

Due to the game's expanding fanbase, the availability of old items has become increasingly challenging, resulting in the introduction of an extensive range of cosmetics and collaborations.

For a limited time only, gamers have the opportunity to acquire the Globetrotter glider at the price of 500 V-Bucks. To secure this item, players must make prompt and decisive actions before it vanishes from the available options.

Fortnite has finally re-introduced one of its rarest cosmetics after a hiatus of over four years. The popularity of Fortnite's Battle Royale game mode has only continued to grow over the course of almost six years. In its early years, the Item Shop had limited offerings, consisting of only a single page of featured and daily items. While the rotation of items in the shop occurred every 24 hours, the quantity of available cosmetics was considerably lower, resulting in shorter wait times for players eager to see their favorite items return.

With the expansion of the game's fanbase, the need for a wider range of cosmetics became apparent. In the past, it was not uncommon for multiple players to sport the same popular Fortnite skin upon its release in Chapter 1. However, as the number of available skins surpassed thousands, the occurrence of multiple players donning the same skin has become less frequent. Additionally, the rise in collaboration opportunities with various franchises has led to the frequent introduction of new cosmetics every few weeks. While this brings excitement, it does mean that the return of previously released items is often pushed back.

Fortnite has brought back one of the rarest cosmetic items in the game, the Globetrotter glider, to the Item Shop. Players have a limited time to acquire the glider, as it has returned after 1,528 days. It was last available on June 5, 2019, and has only been offered three times. The glider has an Uncommon rarity and can be purchased for 500 V-Bucks, but it may not be available for long. To obtain V-Bucks quickly, players can progress through the Chapter 4 Season 3 Battle Pass, join the Fortnite Crew membership for August, or purchase the Wish Set Match Quest Pack, the Starter Pack, or a V-Bucks Pack. Founders, who purchased the Save the World mode during early access, can also complete daily missions to earn more V-Bucks.

The return of the Globetrotter glider left some gamers feeling slightly let down. Unlike other vibrant and thrilling Fortnite cosmetics, this item may not stand out, but it's the ideal choice for those who prefer a more understated aesthetic. Fortnite can be played on various platforms, including Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
