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" challenge.

How to Choose Between Using or Discarding the Oni Mask in Fortnite

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

Masks are readily available throughout the season, found in various locations and obtainable from eliminated opponents. Acquiring the mask for the 25k XP reward shouldn't be difficult. However, after picking one up, avoid immediate elimination; there's a crucial step before returning to the lobby.

Upon acquiring a Mask, the next quest, "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it," will unlock. The phrasing might seem ambiguous, but the solution is straightforward: either activate the Mask's power or drop it from your inventory.

Even if you choose to keep the Mask, using its power immediately is recommended. Other players are aggressively pursuing the same challenge, and eliminating you to obtain a Mask is a likely scenario. Proactive use prevents the need to search for another Mask in a subsequent match.

This concludes the guide on completing the "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it" challenge. For further quest assistance, consult our guide on placing Spirit Charms to learn about magic.
