Mask Debate Heats Up: Fortnite Unmasks Options

In Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1, a unique challenge offers players a choice, a rarity in the game's typical directive-based quests. This guide explains how to complete the challenge 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 slight increase in difficulty compared to the previous week. Tasks include locating a hidden workshop, multiple visits to Kento, and investigating a Portal. However, the Oni Mask collection challenge is relatively straightforward: acquire either a Fire Oni Mask or a Void Oni Mask.

Masks are readily available throughout the game world and can be obtained from eliminated opponents. Earning the 25k XP reward should be easy. However, a crucial step follows acquisition. Don't get eliminated immediately after picking up a mask!

Upon picking up a mask, the next quest, "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it," will activate. The ambiguous phrasing might be confusing, but the solution is simple: either activate the mask's power or drop it from your inventory.

Even if you choose to keep the mask, using its power immediately is recommended. Other players are aggressively pursuing the same challenge, making you a target. Using the mask promptly prevents the need to search for another one in your next 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 to learn about magic.
