Although Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 leaks are flowing like slurp juice, the servers are still suspended as downtime continues. Nonetheless, by now players have been well acquainted with the theme of the season alongside other aspects.
As is tradition, Epic Games vaults, unvaults, and adds new weapons every season, depending on the theme. Last season it was IO and alien based weapons. For Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8, the developers decided to go with a darker theme and have introduced Sideway weapons to the game.

Other Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 features related to weapons
It would seem that players will be able to obtain Sideway weapons by defeating cube monsters, and can also obtain upgrade parts to make the weapons stronger during the match.
In addition to this feature, players will also be able to build areas around the map that can have turrets. Furthermore, by voting as a community, players will even be able to bring back unvaulted weapons to the game.
As of now, there is no further information as to how these features will function in-game. Players will have to wait until the servers go live in order to receive more details.
