Getting the Sideways Scythe
To obtain the Sideways Scythe in Fortnite, players have to go inside one of the Sideways zones. These areas spawn randomly on the map when the match begins. As the round starts, open your map and look for them right away.
After that, go inside the Sideway zone and be ready to face mobs and other monster NPCs.
However, you don’t need to take down the mobs as you’ll have to get the Sideways Scythe from the Sideways chest.
Aside from the Sideways zones, you can also get the Scythe by killing the new Caretaker NPCs located in The Convergence. For more details, you can visit our detailed guide regarding this matter.

Monsters in the Sideways zones drop Cube Parts, which are required for upgrading the Scythe.
