Masks are utility items, with the general purpose of convincing cannibals not to attack you. There are two known types of masks in the game, Red and Golden.
Brute cannibals can be seen wearing golden masks, which seems to identify them as the leader of the other cannibals.
Gameplay[]
Red Masks must be printed using the 3D Printer, which requires resin, in order to be obtained. If cannibals already know you from your violence against them, and subsequently hate your presence, the Red Mask may not work on them. Pulling it out and using it doesn't make an aggressive cannibal suddenly passive. The player must deaggro the cannibal first and then approach them with the mask drawn. Golden Masked enemies do not respond to Red Masks, and they will regard you with the normal hostility.
In order to obtain a Golden Mask however, you can do so by entering Level 5, in the underground bunker, at the south-eastern point of interest on the GPS. It is laying over the face of the middle cadaver in the morgue. A spotty guards the morgue, and can be seen moving about the corridor, the room prior to the corridor, or in the morgue itself.

South-Eastern Point of Interest -
Golden Mask found on a bagged cadaver in the morgue.
The Golden Mask has a greater effect than the Red Mask and even works on masked enemies- provided they don't already hate your guts.
Trivia[]
- In the previous Endnight game, The Forest, red paint functioned similar to how the Red Mask does in Sons of the Forest, with the caveat that cannibals won't become suddenly placid when putting it on.
- It is currently unknown if the Golden Masks were crafted by the cannibals that wear them or if they were on the island prior to the cannibals living here amongst other golden artifacts.
