The Oni Masks
Demon/Oni masks are one of the most praised if not the most praised of late competitive inclusions, said to be concealable inside rare chests. These will, apparently, grant the players certain elemental powers, ‘Flame’ attacks (fire) and ‘Void’ (space) having been the first to emerge in the leaks. Such items could be like one of the weapons that were given during the marvel season of fortnight and would offer weapons that would be effective in both combat and out of combat.
The only issue is how easy it would be to avail such abilities. In the past, Epic Games had adopted a risk versus reward mechanic for strong items, which territorial domination items usually were, where a player had to kill a boss or conquer a danger zone. It’s possible the Oni masks will work in a similar way so that combat strategy is not upset.
