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.
