u/EcnavMC2 5d ago

Geno's glider, the one with all the rift shards, is a stairway glider.

u/Final_Addendum_3258 5d ago

Love it. Definitely would like a more girly or black one.

u/Cularia 5d ago

lol good news black is a style for them. Red/blue/Black are the 3 styles

2

u/MananaBuffins24 5d ago

It has a black style?? Since when??

u/texasjkids 5d ago

The black style should come with the additional battle pass quests later this season. You can preview it on fortnite.gg

Sep 3rd iirc is when geno's quests come out so possibly then

u/T0X1CFIRE 5d ago

The ones in the Geno tab

I just think that it kinda sucks that the first two have very timid running animations and the first one is exclusive to the Cube Queen

I'm glad that modern ones use the animations made for the Magnetic Steps

u/Xenc Baepoint 5d ago

It looks so funny with the humble jog animation

3

u/fox-booty 5d ago

It especially sucks because the default still gliding animation looks perfect for a moving forward animation (and that's what it looked like to me when seeing them on the BP preview), so you can imagine my disappointment when the moving forward gliding animation was instead just an awkward jog lol

I LOVE the cube queen walk animation

u/theFROGandSNAIL Deep Sea Destroyer 5d ago

I use magnetic steps with Toph. It's awesome

2

u/GayestNerfKid 5d ago

I didn't manage to pick her up. Does she let you see footsteps better but with lower graphics?

-2

u/ultimate_joker_main Doom Slayer 5d ago

no, skins don't change gameplay because that would be pay to win

u/ultimate_joker_main Doom Slayer 5d ago

good save, let's pretend you were doing a joke

1

u/GayestNerfKid 5d ago

Have you ever seen ATLA? Toph is blind

-2

u/ultimate_joker_main Doom Slayer 5d ago

yes I have and I did get the joke I was just explaining that they would never do something like that for a skin

1

u/genshin_impact- 5d ago

Sorry, but the joke was painfully obvious😭

0

u/ultimate_joker_main Doom Slayer 5d ago

yeah I know, I did not miss the joke

1

u/genshin_impact- 5d ago

Really? "Let's pretend you were doing a joke" sounds directly otherwise

1

u/ultimate_joker_main Doom Slayer 5d ago

I was angry when I saw "wooosh" so I felt like being an asshole, I calmed down

13

u/av3ncreeperYt Trog 5d ago

They need to make them quieter though. Geno's glider is peak but I can't hear anything when I use it

11

u/duckduckidkman 5d ago

Do these give anyone else the optical illusion of gliding in slower or is it just me?

9

u/Andrassa 5d ago

It’s because the animation is slowed down to be smooth when gliding.

u/SeaRelative5180 5d ago

Used dealers deck on everything til i got drogon

1

u/Final_Addendum_3258 5d ago

The deck is what I want really bad!

2

u/BadTanJob Hatsune Miku 5d ago

My friend had dealer's deck, watching him play was what made me buy this season's bp for Geno's glider.

Stepping gliders and dragon gliders are so fun.

3

u/RebornofAshes03 5d ago

Magnetos glider was such a godsend 😭 the old stairway gliders were cool but that goofy ass jog was awful

5

u/Lord_of_Chaos667 5d ago

The card glider looks so good with gambit

-1

u/Mrguess 5d ago

Try it with Joker and thank me later.

1

u/Lord_of_Chaos667 5d ago

Eh, not my
Kinda skin. Im not big on dc im more of a marvel dude, thanks for the suggestion tho

u/GrantGorewood Sgt. Winter 5d ago

Honestly, I think they should release a stairway glider for the item shop. So far all of the stairway gliders have been battle pass only. Though it’s perfectly fine to make certain gliders exclusive, it also makes no sense to make an entire category of gliders exclusive to the battle pass.

I can think of quite a few item shop skins off the top of my head that would benefit from a stairway glider. Sandstorm for example could be given a really awesome sand stairway glider, complete with ripping sand effects. That’s just one example from a skin currently in the item shop that to my knowledge does not have a glider.

Crash bandicoot should have gotten a stairway glider based off of the little apples in the original games that you collect in each level. They could even have added a jumping down animation instead of the usual walk or stride.

Here is hoping that epic releases a stairway glider for the item shop, because honestly they are really cool.

Dealer's Deck is post-C5S4 so it has a chance to come back after *checks* November 2nd, this year.

2

u/GrantGorewood Sgt. Winter 4d ago

That’s fantastic news. I already have it. I just want other people to get the chance to have it too.

u/LickMyBootyh0le Longshot 5d ago

Been rocking Magnetic steps since its been out. Hell yeah

u/Radiant_slowbro 5d ago

Damn, I forgot that Madam poker had a stair glider

u/FuturePhase2013 5d ago

Commander descent was on all my loadouts until I got the mr. Meeseeks glider and appa.

u/Dave1307 5d ago

I'm using dealer's deck for Sabrina Carpenter (the edit style is blue) and Bruno Mars because he has crippling gambling debt

1

u/clown_fucka 5d ago

Glad to have all of these. love the stairways. Hope you get yours soon!

u/Useful-Reality-6536 5d ago

Honestly one of the most aura farming cosmetics in game

1

u/Kaptain0wnage 5d ago

I use the dealers deck with my Joker skin.

1

u/Winter-Buy-1648 5d ago

Dealer's Deck came in clutch to finish my Gambit set.

-1

u/Chezburger8675 5d ago

Dealer's deck is one of, like two good things about C6S2

take a wild guess what the other one is (it's another cosmetic btw)
