Fortnite Delulu LTM: How to Unlock the Free Umbrella Glider

Epic Games is giving Fortnite players a chance for a free cosmetic item with the Delulu Limited-Time Mode (LTM). This event brings the Delulu Umbrella Glider, which players can unlock without spending any V-Bucks. The glider is only for this event and not in the Item Shop, so it can be obtained only by playing Delulu LTM during the weekend window.

How to Unlock the Delulu Umbrella Glider

To get the Delulu Umbrella Glider, players must win a Victory Royale in the Delulu LTM. The mode goes live on September 19, 2025, and it is only available during the weekend, which makes the umbrella a rare item. After victory, the umbrella is added automatically to the Locker under the Gliders section. If it does not appear right away, returning to the Lobby or restarting the game often refreshes it. Every player who wins during the event will get the item, so playing at the correct time is important.

The Delulu mode introduced Proximity Voice Chat, which allows players to hear and communicate with other players nearby while playing in a match. This feature can have an impact on how matches are played because temporary teaming can happen unexpectedly, along with ambushing your opponent. The voice interactions also make the mode feel different than your standard Fortnite match.
Being in Zero Build mode, players do not have the ability to build objects for both defensive and traversal methods. Players must find ways to stay alive through combat skill, positioning, and using consumables in the match. In this mode, there is no respawning, meaning every elimination has a value because only one player/team wins. The mode brings everything together for a highly tense and strategic experience that promotes careful play rather than reckless fighting.

How To Access the Delulu Playlist

To access Delulu LTM, please follow the steps below: Launch Fortnite and select the Discover tab. When the weekend playlist is live, look for the Delulu playlist (it may also be listed as Party Crashers). Review your location's time window so that you don’t miss any of the hype. If you plan to use the proximity chat in voice chat, refer to the settings, but voice chat is usually already turned on by default. Once ready, make sure that your microphone and privacy settings will allow you to use voice chat. Simply select the Delulu playlist and queue. Players are able to play solo or with friends, depending on in-game rules. Using the proximity chat when in a match can definitely help plan attacks and improve your general awareness. Just know that when many players are talking at the same time, things can get a bit jumbled.

Strategies to Win in Delulu Mode

Because it is a unique mode with unique rules, the following tips will aid in increasing your overall winning chances:

• Be mindful of your use of Proximity Chat: When close to opponents, stay quiet to mask your position. If you can form temporary alliances with some players (who are close), subtle callouts are helpful to signify certain positions and help you coordinate to attack opponents (or the group) without letting anyone else become too aware.
• Defensive gameplay: Staying alive is King! Players do not respawn in this mode and often avoid conflicts to make yourself stay alive longer is just the smartest thing to do.
• Select your landing spot wisely: Your best bet is landing with loot in an area with fewer players to reduce early-game risk and live longer in the game.
• Manage resources: Burn out your health items and materials to endure longer fights.

Following careful positioning, smart use of chat, and good resource management can improve chances of winning and getting the Delulu Umbrella Glider.

The Delulu Umbrella Glider is a limited-time reward showing Fortnite’s tradition of celebrating player victories. Its design and exclusivity make it collectible for players.

Since Delulu LTM only runs during weekend windows starting September 19, 2025, participating while the event is active is essential. Winning a match during this time is the only way to get an umbrella. Players interested should focus on strategy, coordination, and careful resource use to maximize the chance of Victory Royale in Delulu mode.
