All Sideways Showdown Quests in Fortnite

Here are all of the Sideways Showdown Quests in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2:

  • Damage opponents with Sideways Weapons (1500)
  • Damage opponents with Sideways Weapons (4500)

  • Damage opponents from 40 or more meters with the Sideways Rifle (15)

How to complete Sideways Showdown Quests in Fortnite

We’ve got a guide to help you find the Sideways Minigun and Sideways Rifle – and upgrade them – right here, so make sure you check that out if you’re struggling to complete these Sideways Showdown Quests.

When it comes to overheating a Sideways gun, you can do this by simply firing it continuously. Eventually, it will reach full power, and then shortly after it will start to overheat, rendering it temporarily useless.

Defeating IO Forces requires you to visit an area where the Imagined Order has control. Right now, the only place to do that is Command Cavern or The Collider, a new POI that was added in the v20.40 update.

Be careful, though, as Huntmaster Saber – an Imagined Order boss – now spawns at The Collider and he’s very difficult to take down. We’d recommend avoiding him and targeting regular IO soldiers instead.
