In Fortnite's Chapter 6, Season 1, a unique challenge breaks from the usual formula: players get a choice to earn extra XP. This guide explains how to complete the "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it" quest.
How to Decide on the Oni Mask in Fortnite
The second set of weekly quests introduces a twist. After locating a hidden workshop, visiting Kento, and investigating a portal, you'll need to collect either a Fire Oni Mask or a Void Oni Mask. These masks are readily found throughout the game world and can be looted from eliminated opponents. Earning the 25k XP reward should be easy. However, there's a crucial step after acquiring a mask.
Once you pick up a mask, the next quest, "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it," will appear. This seemingly cryptic instruction simply requires you to either activate the mask's power or drop it from your inventory.

While you can choose to keep the mask, using its power immediately is recommended. Other players are actively hunting for masks, and eliminating you to claim one is a common tactic. Therefore, using the mask's ability before being eliminated saves you the trouble of searching for another one in your next match.
That's how to complete the "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it" quest in Fortnite. For more quest guides, see our guide on placing Spirit Charms.
Fortnite is available on multiple platforms, including Meta Quest 2 and 3.
