How To Decide To Use the Mask or Rid Yourself of It in Fortnite

Fortnite's Chapter 6, Season 1 introduces a unique challenge: choosing to use or discard an Oni Mask for bonus XP. Unlike typical challenges, this one offers player agency. Here's how to navigate this choice.

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

The second set of weekly quests presents a slight twist. After locating a hidden workshop, visiting Kento, and investigating a portal, you'll face the straightforward task of acquiring either a Fire or Void Oni Mask.

Masks are readily available throughout matches, often found in various locations or looted from eliminated opponents. Earning the 25k XP reward should be relatively easy. However, a crucial step follows acquisition.

Upon 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 remove it from your inventory.

While you can choose to keep the mask, using its power immediately is recommended. Other players are actively hunting for masks, making you a potential target. Using the mask's power preemptively prevents the need to search for another one in a subsequent match.

That's how to complete the "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it" challenge in Fortnite. For further quest assistance, consult our guide on placing Spirit Charms.

Fortnite is available on multiple platforms, including Meta Quest 2 and 3.
