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 keep or discard an Oni Mask for bonus XP. Unlike typical challenges requiring precise steps, this one offers player agency. Here's how to navigate this decision.

How to Choose Your Fate: 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 and dropped by eliminated players. Earning the 25k XP reward should be relatively easy. However, there's a crucial step after acquiring a mask.

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

While keeping the mask is an option, using it immediately is recommended. Other players are actively seeking masks, increasing the risk of elimination. Using your mask promptly prevents the need to search for another one in a subsequent match.
