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 choose between using or discarding an Oni Mask.
How to Choose: Use or Discard the Oni 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.
These Masks are readily available throughout the game, found in various locations and obtainable from eliminated opponents. Earning the 25k XP reward should be relatively easy. However, a crucial step follows acquisition: before returning to the lobby, you must complete the next quest.
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.

Even if you choose to keep the Mask, using it immediately is advisable. Other players aggressively pursue these Masks for the challenge, making elimination a real possibility. To avoid a repeat search, using the Mask immediately is the most efficient strategy.
