How To Decide To Use the Mask or Rid Yourself of It in Fortnite

In Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1, a unique challenge offers players a choice, a rarity in the game's typical directive-based quests. This guide explains how to complete the challenge requiring players to decide whether to keep or discard an Oni Mask.

How to Decide: Keep or Discard the Oni Mask in Fortnite

The second set of weekly quests presents a slight increase in difficulty compared to the previous week. Tasks include locating a hidden workshop, visiting Kento twice, and investigating a Portal. However, the Oni Mask collection challenge is relatively straightforward: acquire either a Fire Oni Mask or a Void Oni Mask.

Masks are readily available throughout the game, obtainable from various locations and eliminated players. Earning the 25k XP reward should be easy. However, after acquiring a mask, players must complete an additional step before returning to the lobby.

Upon picking up a mask, a new quest appears: "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it." This phrasing might seem confusing, but the solution is simple: either activate the mask's power or remove it from your inventory.

While keeping the mask is an option, immediate use is recommended. Other players are actively competing for masks, and eliminating you to obtain one is a likely scenario. Using the mask promptly prevents the need to search for another in a subsequent match.
