Did you miss out on getting the Fortnite Arcana Glider last week? Fear not, battle royale fan, for you will have another chance to get it with our help. If you’re specifically wondering how to get the Unvaulting Event cosmetic, we also have you covered on that front. Read our Fortnite Arcana Glider guide for more information.
Fortnite Arcana Glider | Can I buy it in the store?
No, the Fortnite Arcana Glider cannot be purchased with V-Bucks. It was present in the in-game shop last week and would have set you back 1,200 V-Bucks to get it.
It has since been removed as a cosmetic from the store though. The last time it was made available to buy was Sunday, May 5, so you’ll have missed your chance to get it this way if you didn’t before the new week started.
Fortnite Arcana Glider | Unvaulting Event queue glitch
There is still a way for you to get the Fortnite Arcana Glider though. Epic suffered huge problems with its Unvaulting Event last Saturday, with plenty of players left frustrated that they couldn’t participate.
Players were supposed to be able to jump through a portal that would transport them to ‘The Vault.’ This area contained six pillars that housed weapons previously available in the game. Players were then asked to break a pillar that would allow the return of a previous weapon, with the Drum Gun being chosen.
However, not everyone was able to visit The Vault due to Fortnite technical issues. Quite a few players had been queueing to get into the event but weren’t able to access the portal due to an issue on Epic’s end. Epic has since taken to the game’s Twitter account to apologize for the problem. They’ve now vowed to give the Arcana Glider away for free to those who couldn’t take part in the Unvaulting Event.
Epic has begun rolling out the free gift, and everyone should receive their own copy of it within the next few days. Anyone who bought the glider in the store, before it was removed, will also have their V-Bucks reimbursed.

Fortnite's 10 Game Changing Pickups
So, you're dropping into Tilted Towers and you need a game changer. Something that will ensure that your next match is memorable. Fortnite has had plenty of these types of items in its brief history, and here are the most devastating. See any of these on the field, and you better run. -
Crossbow
Originally themed for Valentines Day, the crossbow was a devastating sniper rifle even without its fancy skin. A high damage output even on Rare difficulty and five shots to a clip made it a sharpshooters dream, and eventually led to it being vaulted in May of 2018. -
Drum Gun
A hybrid of a Rifle and Machine Gun, the Drum Gun brought a 1920s flair to Junk Junction. It proved to be deadly accurate in the hands of players at close range, even after a round of significant nerfs. Two months after its initial debut, it was curtains for this Tommy. -
Guided Missile
The preferred tool of any rocket rider, the Guided Missile lets you root out camping opponents and sail into the skies of victory. A devastating and rare munition, the Guided Missile saw two tours of duty in the fields of Fortnite. As of now, it's still available to mess around with in Playground mode. -
Infinity Blade
Originating in Epic's hit trilogy of mobile games, this mythic sword only lasted for four days before being banished to the Vault. It powered up players and granted them extra health, creating an in-game boss fight. In the end, it did its job just a bit too well. -
Infinity Gauntlet
A purposefully limited time item, this Marvel Comics artifact turned its wielder into Thanos. His mighty punch, energy blast, and insane leaping ability made players quake in fear during his summer stint in the battle royale. Let's hope he finds other worlds to conquer for the sequel. -
Jetpack
Nothing changes a shooter quite like added mobility. Dodge out of sniper fire and root out towers of foes with the Jetpack, a limited time only Legendary backpack. Aeronauts with enough skill can negate any crafty builders and land the last few kills with pinpoint accuracy. -
Mounted Turret
A turret sequence in most shooters is a drag, but a well executed run with the Mounted Turret can be a thrill. This legendary trap is deployable anywhere there's a flat surface and spurts out infinite ammo as long as you mind the heat and don't take enough damage. -
Remote Explosives
It makes sense that a game partially about building would also have some C4 to even the odds, but the Remote Explosives were too much for their own good. Able to rip apart strategies at a distance and coming in bundles of three, most players don't miss these server bombs. -
Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle
Able to pick out enemies and loot with ease, the Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle is the current best weapon if you're looking to charge an opposing team. Just be sure to account for its high recoil, lest you be staring into the sun as you take a fatal blow. -
Zapotron
One of the original vaulted weapons in Fortnite's battle royale mode, the Zapotron was an electrified sniper rifle that decimated groups of enemies from afar. It has a great design but doesn't really fit with the rest of the game's more authentic arsenal. Still, don't wear a lightning rod if we ever see this weapon again.
