Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8: How To Complete A Sideways Encounter?
First of all, you will have to locate the Sideway Anomaly to enter the Sideways to complete this quest. When you will enter the Sideways zones, you will see that these Anomalies look like purple rifts, but when you go near them they will turn into orange domes. You can see these Anomalies on your map with a purple rift symbol.
The locations of these Anomalies will change with each match. You can enter or depart these zones whenever you want because these zones don’t change their place during the match. When you enter these zones you will be able to get new Sideway weapons through the Sideway chests.
You will find cube monsters in both Sideway Zones and Anomalies. They are very dangerous so you will have to be careful. You will get a little amount of shield energy varies based on the kind of monster you beat. You can find the following monsters in the Sideways:
- Fiend
- Ranged Fiend
- Poison Fiend
- Elite Fiend
- Brute
- Exploding Brute
- Elite Brute
Anomalies are different from zones because when you defeat waves of cube monsters the anomaly gets collapsed. A progress bar will appear on the top of your screen which gets splits into three parts, these parts get filled with each cube monster you kill. When the bars are completely filled the anomaly will collapse and spew forth several treasure items, along with a legendary-rare Sideway Rifle. These anomalies are only temporary, so you must kill the cube monsters as quickly as possible because you will get the loot based on the number of monsters you killed in the anomaly.
