How to get the Appa glider for free
The Avatar: Elements event for Fortnite has begun, allowing Aang to join his friends as an obtainable outfit. Alongside Aang comes a slew of other new cosmetics and quests.
Our Fortnite guide will explain how to claim all the rewards from the Avatar: Elements event, so you won’t miss anything that you want.

You could already get Korra as part of the Chapter 5 Season 2 battle pass, but a few of the characters from the original Avatar: The Last Airbender series have joined the fray.
You can grab Toph, Zuko, and Katara for 2,000 v-bucks each, each replete with their own backbling, pickaxe, and Lego Fortnite style. You can also buy a bundle with Zuko and Katara for 3,200 v-bucks. There’s also the Air Flurry emote for 500 v-bucks, which replicates Aang’s iconic airbending marble trick from the Kyoshi Island episode of the show.
For Aang’s skin, you’ll need to get the top reward from the Avatar: Elements Premium Reward Track.
Based on past reward track events, like the Jujutsu Kaisen event, we can likely expect Aang’s outfit to eventually hit the Fortnite shop as a regular skin you can purchase down the line. However, some of the other cosmetics and emotes may not come back. (The Yuji Itadori skin and his pickaxe came back to the shop, but a few of the cosmetics have still not returned as of this writing.)

For this event, you’ll earn Chi by completing quests. As you earn more and more Chi, you’ll unlock things on the pass. Once you complete enough quests to open all six Chakras, you’ll get the coveted Appa glider.
If you drop a 1,000 v-bucks, you’ll upgrade to the Premium Reward Track. You’ll get all of the regular rewards plus a second set that includes things like back bling and pickaxes. You’ll also immediately unlock the Aang skin and Lego style.
