How to get the Sideways Scythe in Fortnite Season 8 Epic GamesThe Sideways Scythe, a brand new melee weapon, has debuted in Fortnite Season 8, and we\u2019ve got all the details you need to find one to help you take down the Cube Queen. The main feature of Fortnite Season 8 is The Sideways, a mysterious world that players keep getting pulled into via Zones and Anomalies. Here, they\u2019ll fight Cube Monsters and discover powerful weapons like the Sideways Rifle and Minigun. Now, following the 18.21 update and the beginning of Fortnitemares 2021, another exciting Sideways weapon has arrived: The Sideways Scythe. This is the first new melee weapon in months, so loads of players will be trying to get one. Here\u2019s how you can get your hands on the new Sideways Scythe so you can hack-and-slash your way through Cube Monsters, as well as the brand new Caretakers that the Cube Queen has brought to take over the Island. How to get the Sideways Scythe in Fortnite In order to get your hands on the Sideways Scythe in Fortnite, you\u2019ll need to visit the Sideways Zone. These are the giant orange domes that appear over a random POI at the start of every match, and you can track them on the map. Once you\u2019re inside the Sideways Zone, open as many purple Sideways Chests as you can until you find a Sideways Scythe. It\u2019s best to land in the Sideways Zone ASAP so your opponents don\u2019t open all of the chests before you can. You can find a Sideways Scythe inside the Sideways Anomalies, which appear as purple portals on the map, but these areas are more intense as you\u2019ll be fighting off multiple waves of Cube Monsters in a much smaller area. How to use the Sideways Scythe in Fortnite The new Sideways Scythe weapon works a little bit like the Lightsaber from recent Fortnite seasons. You\u2019ll be able to perform a combo of five basic melee attacks by repeatedly pressing the \u2018fire\u2019 button on your chosen controller. That\u2019s not all, though, as the Sideways Scythe can also perform a devastating jump attack. To do this, simply jump into the air and press the \u2018fire\u2019 button to slam your Sideways Scythe into the ground and damage nearby enemies. Finally, you can use the \u2018aim\u2019 button on your controller to begin running at high speed for a few seconds. Use this to launch a spin attack by pressing the \u2018fire\u2019 button, or simply rush out of harm\u2019s way. The Sideways Scythe comes in five different rarities, and you can upgrade its rarity level by using Cube Monster Parts, which are obtained by defeating Cube Monsters in The Sideways.
