How to Obtain the Shapeless Hunter Mask in The Division 2
A step-by-step guide to locating secret tapes and summoning the hunter in Central Park.
1Initiating the Secret Quest
To begin the quest for the Shapeless Hunter Mask, players must visit the safehouse near the Tower settlement during in-game night hours, specifically between 9pm and 6am. Inside, locate the room marked with Help Us, follow the ringing telephone, and play the tape near the television to trigger the activity.
2Locating the First Tape
The first collectible is hidden within the Dakota district. Players must navigate to the courtyard featuring a prominent yellow crane. By climbing the scaffolding attached to the crane, you will find an open window leading into a building. Inside, head left to the bathroom where the tape sits inside the bathtub.
3Finding the Second Tape
The second tape is located in the Lincoln Square area. Players should search for a playground that is illuminated by a visible light source. By approaching this specific light, you will discover the second collectible required to progress through the sequence of tapes needed to summon the elusive hunter character later.
4Retrieving the Third Tape
Return to the Dakota District to secure the third tape. You must locate a specific building entrance adorned with decorative lights. Once you reach this door, the tape will be available for pickup. This step is essential for maintaining the chronological order of the collectibles required for the final mask unlock.
5Draining the Flooded Area
For the fourth tape in the Lincoln District, players must find an area characterized by flooded sections and a mechanical device. Activating this machine drains the water, revealing a half-buried skeleton. The tape is positioned directly on the skeleton, requiring players to interact with the remains to claim the item.
6Securing the Final Tape
The fifth and final tape is found in the Dakota District. Enter the building through the door opposite the first entrance and proceed straight to find a staircase leading downward. Descend into the room filled with pipes, where the last tape is hidden in the back, completing your collection of five.
7Summoning the Hunter
Once you have successfully gathered all five tapes, you must travel to the High Low Electronics location. There, you will find one final tape that acts as the trigger to summon the hunter. Ensure you are prepared for the encounter, as this action concludes the preparation phase of the quest.
8Quest Completion and Rewards
Completing this intricate scavenger hunt rewards players with the Shapeless Hunter Mask, a rare cosmetic item within the Echoes of Central Park DLC. This process highlights the game's reliance on environmental storytelling and hidden triggers, rewarding observant players who explore the map thoroughly during the specific in-game night time window.
