For a limited time, you are able to unlock a free Overwatch Orca glider in Fortnite. The cosmetic item is available for only 24 hours, and every player can claim it. This glider is arguably the best free Fortnite x Overwatch reward, and the best part is that it can be unlocked in less than a minute.
Epic Games confirmed that the cosmetic item is only available for a limited time. If you miss the opportunity to get it, you will likely be able to buy it from the Item Shop at a later date. However, there is also a chance that the item will remain exclusive to the collaboration.
Now, let’s get to the fun part and see how you can unlock it.
How to get the free Overwatch glider in Fortnite?
To get the Orca glider in Fortnite for free, all you need to do is log in to the game. The Overwatch glider is available from Saturday, May 23, 9 AM Eastern Time. It expires 24 hours later, giving you more than enough time to add it to your locker.
The glider is available for everyone, and it doesn’t require you to play the game. As soon as you log in between Saturday and Sunday at 9 AM ET, you will receive a pop-up with the free Orca glider, where you can claim it.
Originally, it appears that Epic Games wanted to include the glider in daily login rewards for the Overwatch collaboration. However, this feature hasn’t been released yet, which likely means that it was scrapped. Fortunately, the glider is still a login reward, while the other rewards are obtainable by completing limited-time quests.
Epic has even more surprises, as the Fortnite Community Day brings five rare cosmetics for free. These will also be available for 24 hours and will include a skin style.
In the meantime, you can unlock several Fortnite skins for free. Furthermore, we’ve put together a list of the best XP maps in Fortnite, which allows you to level up quickly and unlock free Battle Pass cosmetics.
