Masks should just be fun ornaments. I think most of them are tacky (which I think is quite literally the design intention with them) and don’t look very good for a permanent build but they can be fun to mess around with here and there. Having to have it tied to a specific helmet which then becomes useless is just outdated. Really we need to get rid of the forced equips for seasonal events in general, it’s a really big turn off to what should just be extra loot and mindless fun. If you choose to wear a mask ornament, you should receive a buff in the Haunted Sectors (similar to how they used to in the Haunted Forest) but it should have no effect on how much loot you receive imo.
