The Common to Legendary Fortnite Sideways weapons can be found in the all-new Chapter 2 Season 8 Cosmic Chests. However, finding the Mythic versions of the Sideways Rifle and the Minigun is a little harder than just opening chests.

Fortunately, these aren't the only two Sideways weapons that are going to be in Fortnite. According to several leaks, Epic Games is also going to introduce the Sideways Lightblade to the game in the future.
