Players will also find that the Fortnitemares 2021 event has added a new Sideways weapon for Fortnite players to use to defeat their enemies. The Dual Fiend Hunters can now be found on the Fortnite island as ground loot or inside of chests.
These Fortnite Dual Fiend Hunters deal extra damage to Cube Monsters and have a faster fire rate than the Crossbow.

The Cube Queen has brought her wrath to Fortnite Island, and this has brought a few changes to the game. New types of Cube Monsters known as Caretakers are pulling players into the Sideways.
