Face Masks in Fortnite: Unmasking the Choice

In Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1, a unique Weekly Quest offers players a choice, a rarity in typical challenge design. This guide explains how to complete the quest requiring you to "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it."

The second set of Weekly Quests introduces a slight increase in difficulty, involving a hidden workshop, multiple visits to Kento, and Portal investigation. However, the Oni Mask challenge is straightforward: acquire either a Fire Oni Mask or a Void Oni Mask. These Masks are readily found throughout the game world and can be looted from eliminated opponents. Securing the 25k XP reward is relatively easy.

The key lies in what happens after picking up a Mask. A subsequent quest prompts you to "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it." This seemingly cryptic instruction simply requires you to either activate the Mask's ability or discard it from your inventory.

While keeping the Mask is an option, using it immediately is highly recommended. Other players are actively hunting for Masks to complete the same challenge, increasing the risk of elimination. Activating the Mask's power and completing the quest swiftly minimizes this risk.
