Mask Dilemma for Fortnite: Keep or Discard?

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 an 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. This involves locating a hidden workshop, visiting Kento twice, and investigating a portal. However, one quest stands out for its simplicity: collect either a Fire Oni Mask or a Void Oni Mask.

These Masks are readily available throughout the game, 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: don't get eliminated immediately after picking up the Mask!

Upon acquiring a Mask, the next quest prompts you to "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it." This phrasing might seem confusing, but the solution is simple: either activate the Mask's ability or remove it from your inventory.

While you can choose to keep the Mask, using it immediately is highly recommended. Other players are actively hunting for Masks to complete the same challenge, increasing the risk of elimination. Using the Mask promptly ensures you secure the reward and avoid the need to search for another one in a subsequent match.
