Agreed. Feel like they'd sell more of the eververse masks if they could actually be used year round, so it's not like they don't have incentive

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 Having to have it tied to a specific helmet which then becomes useless is just outdated.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.

No.

Nope.
