Fortnite: Mask Decisions - Stay or Go?

In Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1, a unique challenge offers players a choice, a rarity in typical Fortnite quest structures. This guide explains how to complete the quest requiring you to decide whether to keep or discard the Oni Mask.

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

The second set of weekly quests presents a slightly more complex challenge than the previous week's. Tasks include locating a hidden workshop, visiting Kento twice, and investigating a Portal. However, one challenge 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 is generally straightforward. However, a crucial step follows acquisition.

Upon picking up a mask, a subsequent quest appears, instructing players to "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it." This ambiguous phrasing may cause confusion. The solution is simple: either activate the mask's ability or remove it from your inventory.

Even if you choose to retain the mask, immediate use is advisable. Other players aggressively pursue these masks, making eliminating you for theirs a likely scenario. Proactive use prevents the need to search for another mask in a subsequent match.
