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 typical directive-based quests. This guide explains how to complete the "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it" quest.

How to Choose Your Fate: Mask or No Mask?

The second set of weekly quests presents a slightly more complex challenge than the previous week's. This involves locating a hidden workshop, multiple visits to Kento, and investigating a Portal. However, one task stands out for its simplicity: collect either a Fire Oni Mask or a Void Oni Mask.

These Masks are readily available throughout the game, found in various locations and obtainable from eliminated opponents. Acquiring one for the 25k XP reward shouldn't be difficult. However, after obtaining a Mask, avoid immediate elimination; a crucial step remains before returning to the lobby.

Upon picking up a Mask, the next quest prompts you to "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it." While the phrasing may seem ambiguous, the solution is straightforward: either activate the Mask's power or discard it from your inventory.

Even if you intend to keep the Mask, using it immediately is advisable. Other players aggressively pursue these Masks, and eliminating you to acquire one is a common tactic. Therefore, proactively using or discarding the Mask minimizes the risk of needing to search for another in a subsequent match.
