Fortnite Mask: Stay or Go?

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 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 slightly more complex challenge than the previous week's. This involves locating a hidden workshop, visiting Kento twice, and investigating a Portal. However, one quest stands out for its simplicity: acquire 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, avoid immediate elimination; a crucial step remains 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." This phrasing might seem ambiguous, but the solution is straightforward: either activate the Mask's power or remove it from your inventory.

Even if you choose to retain the Mask, using its abilities immediately is advisable. Other players are actively pursuing the same challenge, making elimination a real possibility. To avoid a second search, utilize the Mask promptly.
