The upcoming Fortnite v8.20 update will be introducing a whole roster of new cosmetic items to the battle royale, with a new pink glider and back bling among recent leaks. The major highlight of this update will be the new limited time mode, which will reportedly flood the map with liquid hot magma in the game’s The Floor Is Lava event. However, this update will also grant you a chance to grab the Cuddly Cruiser glider, outfitting you in a rocket-propelled plushy pink bear glider, along with the epic Cuddle Doll back bling. Read on to find out how to unlock pink glider and Cuddle Doll in Fortnite.
Fortnite Cuddly Cruiser | How to unlock Pink Glider and Cuddle Doll
The recent leaks and data mining of the Fortnite v8.20 update revealed the new cosmetics, but there aren’t any more details to be found concerning the upcoming update. While we do know that Poison Dart traps, peppers, bananas, and coconuts are among the new items coming to the battle royale arena, it’s not yet clear how you can unlock the new cosmetic items. In fact, given that these new items are sourced from leaks, there is no guarantee that they will make an appearance in the next update.
The epic rarity Cuddle Doll back bling is described as “cute, cuddly, and cursed,” with the appearance of a neon pink voodoo doll. In comparison, the rare Fortnite Cuddly Cruiser glider will likely be less costly to purchase, and comes with the tagline “The turbulence is bearable.” It’s likely that these items will be available through the Fortnite Item Shop, but it’s possible that they could be linked with certain challenges or an upcoming in-game event. For more details, we’ll have to wait on announcements from the official channels, but until then you can make the most of the Fortnite fall damage removed feature in the most recent update.

10 of Fortnite's Rarest Skins
Whether you're dropping into Fatal Fields or Greasy Grove, you want to look your best. Fortnite has countless skins, but there are those select few that prove that you put the work in. Whether you were just an early adopter or racked up the kills, here are a look at some of the rarest Fortnite skins around. -
Dire
Howl at the moon as Dire, the Werewolf Ninja Hero popping straight out of Save the World. It was the Tier 100 reward of the Season 6 battle pass, but that only got you his human form. To get him all wolfed out, you needed to complete a set of six challenges during the season. -
Galaxy
Would you purchase a cell phone just to get your hands on a Fortnite skin? Some people just may have done that to get Galaxy, the skin only available to owners of Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets during the Android beta period. He's shiny, but not that shiny. -
Giddy Up
Show your love for Fortnite's loot llamas by riding an inflatable one into battle. This jokey costume was available at Tier 23 of the Season 6 Battle Pass and comes with a custom emote. The female version of this skin, Yee-Haw!, is purchasable at the item store. -
Merry Marauder
Merry Marauder is an angry looking gingerbread man who released onto the item shop in December of 2017. He's a holiday-oriented fellow, so he only pops up when Santa is done checking his list twice. Purchasing him will also net you the Mini Marauder back bling, although that doesn't seem to make this ginger man any happier. -
Nightshade
Once you reached Tier 86 of the Season 6 Battle Pass, you received Nightshade. A female version of Tomatohead, she and her Night Cloak back bling are all part of the Pizza Pit theme; the perfect complement when you're fighting against the Burger menace. -
Recon Expert
Decidedly less flashy than other skins on this list, Recon Expect is rare solely due to its release window. It was one of the first skins to hit the shop, before the influx of players that made Fortnite the phenomenon that it is today. While it may rotate back onto the store someday, it's a rare find. -
Renegade Raider
Similar to Recon Expert, Renegade Rider only showed up very early in Fortnite's lifespan. Unlike Recon Expert, that apocalyptic melee weapon makes her fit in a bit more with the skull soldiers and vampires we're all used to seeing. Keep a lookout to see if this Raider will ever climb out of the bunker again. -
Royale Bomber
The Royale Bomber is a PlayStation exclusive, but that's not all. You only got this sunglass toting agent if you purchased specific PlayStation hardware. A controller in the U.S. and a console bundle in the European region. It's quite a hassle to look this good. -
The Reaper
Baba Yaga. The Boogeyman. The Reaper. All of these names apply to John Wick and also this somehow completely unrelated skin in Fortnite Awarded at the end of the Season 3 Battle Pass. Just don't tell anyone in Hollywood, I don't think they've noticed yet. -
Trog
Trog is love. Trog is life. Trog is the reward for Tier 71 of the Season 7 Battle Pass. We may never know where Trog is looking thanks to his famous cross-eyes, but we know that he loves all his children equally and also he is going to shoot some fools with a shotgun. Trog.
