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" quest.
How to Choose Your Fate: Mask or No Mask in Fortnite
The second week's quests present a slightly more complex challenge than the previous week's. You'll need to locate a hidden workshop, visit Kento twice, and investigate a Portal. However, one task stands out for its simplicity: collect either a Fire Oni Mask or a Void Oni Mask.
These Masks are readily available throughout the game, dropping from eliminated players and appearing in various locations. Acquiring one for the 25k XP reward shouldn't be difficult. However, after obtaining a Mask, don't rush into combat; there's a crucial step before returning to the lobby.
Upon picking up a Mask, the next quest, "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it," will unlock. Despite the ominous wording, the solution is straightforward: either activate the Mask's power or drop it from your inventory.

Even if you choose to keep the Mask, using its power immediately is recommended. Other players are actively hunting for Masks to complete the same challenge, making you a prime target. Using the Mask proactively prevents a potentially frustrating search for another one in your next match.
This concludes the guide on completing the "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it" quest in Fortnite. For additional quest guides, see our guide on placing Spirit Charms.
Fortnite is available on multiple platforms, including Meta Quest 2 and 3.
