Fortnite: Mask Up or Ditch It?

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

How to Decide to Use or Discard 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 should be relatively easy. However, don't rush to your demise after picking one up; there's a crucial step before exiting the match.

Upon acquiring a Mask, a subsequent quest will prompt you to "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it." This phrasing might seem ambiguous, but the solution is straightforward: either activate the Mask's power or remove it from your inventory.

Even if you choose to keep the Mask, using it immediately is recommended. Other players are actively pursuing the same quest, and eliminating you to claim a Mask is a common tactic. Therefore, utilizing the Mask promptly prevents the need to search for another one in a subsequent match.
