In Fortnite: Battle Royale, there is currently a new alien glider in the shop. However, it has a secret feature that can be activated. We will show you what that feature is and how you can activate it.
This is what’s happening in Fortnite: In Season 5 – Chapter 2, some crossovers with other games and movies are taking place. This is because Agent Jonesy is assembling a crew made up of characters from different universes. They are meant to guard the Zero Point together.
Through these crossovers, we have already seen some characters from The Walking Dead, Terminator, Predator, and Tron.
The latest crossover is currently taking place with the “Alien” film series, and you can buy various items and skins to match in the item shop. This includes the alien glider, which comes with a hidden feature.
Alien glider has a secret feature
What can the new glider do? The “Cheyenne spaceship” is part of the Alien set and can be obtained individually for 1,200 V-Bucks or in a bundle in the shop. The glider is quite large, and as soon as it opens, the wings are unpacked with rocket launchers.
However, some players have noticed that the glider is reactive, and the wings can be folded back while flying, as this clip on Twitter shows:
How can you activate the feature? Since nowhere has it been stated that the glider is reactive, some may not know this feature yet. You can only change the glider if you press the shoot button while flying – then the wings will disappear.
This won’t give you any advantages, like with all cosmetic items, but it is a fun, hidden detail. So, if you’ve bought the glider, you can show off the secret feature while the other players can only look on in amazement.
Cosmetic items should not give you any advantages in the game. However, this is not always the case, as there have already been skins and items that were called Pay2Win. This is also true for the superhero skins, which have been causing problems due to their appearance for some time now.
