Fortnite Leaks Demon/Oni Masks With New Abilities
Fortnite’s new Oni masks seem to have a focus on elemental types. However, there’s a chance they could feature other powers. Although the description of the Oni masks matches what players experienced with the various Avengers-themed chests and abilities during the game’s Marvel-centric season, there’s also a chance that they could replicate and iterate on the powers ofMedallions that players could also collect inFortnite.
There may be some sort of risk or difficulty curve associated with accessing these abilities. During the game’s recent Marvel season, many players complained abouthow overpowered some weapons inFortnitewere becoming. Epic Games seems to have taken note of some of these complaints, making access to powerful weapons more challenging, often involving boss battles in locations surrounded by other hostile NPCs and player-dense POIs. Fans will likely see more information about the masks as the new Chapter gets closer.
