There are quite a few gliders available in Fortnite. Nearly every cycle of the Item Shop introduces a new one. That makes several of the older ones extremely rare. Several gliders have been absent from the Item Shop for a long time.The longer they go without an appearance, the rarer they become. There are several that will reach a new level of rarity in 2022. There are also a couple that won't be rare anymore.Fortnite gliders that will enter rarified air in 20226) StealthThe Stealth glider wasn't overly popular, which contributes to its rarity. It has also been absent from the Item Shop since October 8, 2018. It's well over the 1,000-day mark of absence, which is a level of rarity that not many cosmetic items achieve. If they're popular or outstanding, they'll likely make a return. This makes the less popular and the lesser quality gliders even rarer.Stealth glider (Image via Epic Games)5) Camp CruiserThe Camp Cruiser was released as part of the Fortnite Bigfoot set in 2019. It's been absent for a very long time. It cost 800 V-Bucks, which is the most a glider usually goes for. This means that fewer Fortnite players bought it, making it even rarer. As time goes on, that will only increase.Camp Cruiser (Image via Epic Games)4) Rusty RiderThe Rusty Rider was introduced in Fortnite Chapter 1 Season 3 for 1,200 V-Bucks. Not many gliders can match this price tag, which slowed its sales. Also, it's been absent for 1,231 days and was only in the Item Shop eight times.Rusty Rider (Image via Epic Games)3) MeltdownIntroduced in Chapter 1 Season 4, the Meltdown glider hasn't been seen in the Item Shop since September 11, 2018.
