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

In Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1, a unique challenge offers players a choice, a rarity in typical Fortnite quests. 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 slight curveball. After locating a hidden workshop, visiting Kento, and investigating a Portal, players must collect either a Fire Oni Mask or a Void Oni Mask. These masks are readily available throughout matches, making this part of the quest relatively easy. The 25k XP reward is easily attainable. However, the next step requires immediate action.

Once a mask is acquired, a new quest appears: "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it." This seemingly cryptic instruction simply means either activate the mask's power or drop it from your inventory.

While you can choose to keep the mask, it's advisable to use its power immediately. Other players are actively hunting for masks, and eliminating you to claim one is a common tactic. Using your mask promptly prevents another search in a subsequent match.

In short, completing this Fortnite quest involves a simple choice: activate the mask's ability or drop it. For additional quest guides, learn how to place Spirit Charms to unlock magical knowledge.

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