Mask on or off: Fortnite dilemma solved

In Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1, a unique challenge offers players a choice, a rarity in typical directive-based quests. This guide explains how to complete the "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it" quest.

How to Decide: Use the Mask or Discard It in Fortnite

The second set of weekly quests presents a slightly more complex challenge than the previous week's. Tasks include locating a hidden workshop, multiple visits to Kento, and investigating a Portal. However, the Fire Oni Mask or Void Oni Mask collection quest is relatively straightforward.

Masks are readily available throughout the season, found in various locations and obtainable from eliminated opponents. Earning the 25k XP reward should be easy. However, after acquiring a Mask, avoid immediate elimination; a crucial step remains before returning to the lobby.

Upon Mask acquisition, the next quest, "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it," appears. The ambiguous phrasing might confuse some players. Simply utilize the Mask's power or remove it from your inventory—it's that simple.

Even if choosing to retain the Mask, immediate use is advisable. Other players aggressively pursue the challenge, making elimination a real possibility. Proactive use prevents the need to search for another Mask in subsequent matches.
