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 directive-based quests. This guide explains how to complete the "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it" challenge.

How to Decide: Use the Mask or Discard It

The second set of weekly quests presents a slightly more complex challenge than the previous week's. It involves locating a hidden workshop, multiple visits to Kento, and investigating a Portal. However, one task 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 defeated opponents. Earning the 25k XP reward should be easy. However, after acquiring a Mask, players must complete a crucial step before returning to the lobby.

Upon picking up a Mask, a new quest appears, instructing players to "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it." This ambiguous phrasing may cause confusion. The solution is straightforward: either activate the Mask's power or remove it from your inventory.
