Fortnite: Mask On or Off? Expert Insights

In Fortnite's 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" challenge.

How to Decide: Mask or No Mask 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, one challenge stands out for its simplicity: collect either a Fire Oni Mask or a Void Oni Mask.

Masks are readily available throughout the season, found in various locations and obtainable from eliminated opponents. Earning the 25k XP reward should be relatively easy. However, after acquiring a Mask, players must complete an action before returning to the lobby.

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

Even if choosing to retain the Mask, immediate use is recommended. Other players are actively pursuing the same challenge and won't hesitate to eliminate you for it. Using the Mask promptly prevents the need to search for another in a subsequent match.
