In *Fortnite*, challenges usually demand strict adherence, but Chapter 6, Season 1 introduces a choice that could earn you extra XP. Here's your guide on whether to use the Mask or rid yourself of it in *Fortnite*.

How To Decide To Use the Mask or Rid Yourself of It in Fortnite

The second set of Weekly Quests in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 1 ramps up the difficulty, requiring you to find a hidden workshop, visit Kento multiple times, and explore a Portal. Amid these tasks, one challenge stands out for its simplicity: collect a Fire Oni Mask or a Void Oni Mask.

If you've been diving into this season since its launch, you're likely familiar with the Masks scattered across various locations and dropped by eliminated opponents. Encountering these items is almost inevitable, making the 25k XP reward easily attainable. Yet, once you secure a Mask, resist the urge to charge into battle. There's an important decision to make before you return to the lobby.

Upon picking up a Mask, a new *Fortnite* Quest will prompt you to "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it." This directive may sound cryptic, but the action is straightforward: either harness the Mask's power or discard it from your inventory.

If you opt to retain the Mask, consider using its abilities immediately. The competition is fierce, with players eager to complete new challenges, and they won't hesitate to eliminate you to claim a Mask for themselves. By acting swiftly, you avoid the risk of having to hunt for another Mask in your next match.

That's how you navigate the decision to use the Mask or rid yourself of it in *Fortnite*. For more Quest guides, learn how to place Spirit Charms and delve into the world of magic.
