Side weapons, which were introduced during Chapter 2, Season 8, returned for a week in Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 2!
Until Tuesday, May 24, you can get and upgrade both the Side Minigun and Side Rifle, as long as you can find them, of course.
Using one of these weapons will not only help you defeat your opponents, but you will also earn XP by completing the Sideways Showdown Week challenges, and with that XP, you can unlock more rewards from this season’s Battle Pass.

What are the different side weapons in Fortnite? Side minigun and side rifle
The side minigun and side rifle were introduced during Fortite Chapter 2 Season 8 and were not saved until Tuesday, May 24 in Chapter 3 Season 2.
These weapons are born from the alternate Sideways dimension and can be accelerated to a super-powered state where they will deal additional damage. The downside, however, is that reaching this state puts them closer to overheating, so use them carefully.
Finding and dealing damage with a Sideways weapon will help you complete the Sideways Showdown Week challenges, which also expire on Tuesday, May 24.

- From rare to epic: 375 gold bars
