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

Fortnite challenges rarely offer player choice for bonus XP; usually, strict adherence to instructions is required. However, Chapter 6, Season 1 introduces a change. This guide explains how to choose between using or discarding the Oni Mask in Fortnite.

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

The second set of weekly quests in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1 presents a unique challenge. After locating a hidden workshop, visiting Kento twice, and investigating a Portal, players must collect either a Fire Oni Mask or a Void Oni Mask.

Masks are readily found throughout the game and can be looted from eliminated opponents. Earning the 25k XP reward should be relatively easy. However, after acquiring a Mask, immediate action is needed before returning to the lobby.

Upon picking up a Mask, the next quest prompts players to "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it." This ambiguous phrasing can be confusing. Simply activate the Mask's power or drop it from your inventory; it's that straightforward.

Even if choosing to keep the Mask, using it immediately is advisable. Other players aggressively pursue the challenge, making elimination a real threat. To avoid a repeat search, utilizing the Mask's power promptly is recommended.
