In *Fortnite*, challenges typically require players to follow instructions precisely to earn XP. However, Chapter 6, Season 1 introduces a choice-based challenge that adds a new layer of strategy. Here’s how you can navigate the decision to use the Mask or discard 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 presents players with more complex tasks, such as locating a hidden workshop, visiting Kento multiple times, and investigating a Portal. Yet, amidst these challenges, there's a relatively straightforward one: collecting either a Fire Oni Mask or a Void Oni Mask.

If you've been playing since the start of this season, you're likely familiar with finding Masks at various locations or picking them up from eliminated opponents. With these items scattered across the map, securing that 25k XP should be easy. However, after picking up a Mask, don't rush off and risk elimination, as there's an important decision to make before returning to the lobby.

Once you have a Mask, a new *Fortnite* Quest will prompt you to "decide to use the Mask or rid yourself of it." This choice might seem daunting, but it's actually quite simple: either utilize the Mask's power or drop it from your inventory.

If you choose to keep the Mask, it's wise to use it immediately. Other players are eager to complete their challenges, and they won't hesitate to eliminate you to claim a Mask for themselves. By using the Mask right away, you not only enjoy its benefits but also avoid the risk of having to search for another one in your next match.

That's the strategy for deciding whether to use the Mask or discard it in *Fortnite*. For more quest guides, check out how to place Spirit Charms to learn about magic.
