Night presses against the windows of a battered safehouse. The TV flickers, a tape starts to play, and the handwriting on the wall—Do you like scary games—feels like a dare. You realize the mask isn’t a drop in the loot pool, it’s a trail of clues that tests patience and nerve.
I’ve chased this one through Echoes of Central Park, and I’ll walk you straight to the spots that matter. You’ll move fast or lose the thread; the clues pull you like a moth to a porchlight, and once the loop starts, you’ll want to close it.
The safehouse smells of stale coffee — how to obtain the Shapeless Hunter Mask in The Division 2: Echoes of Central Park
There’s a rhythm to this: night, tape, play — repeat. You need to do every step between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. in-game time. I recommend setting your game clock to night, heading to the Tower settlement safehouse, and keeping the route memorized like a short street map.
Inside that safehouse you’ll find an entrance with Help Us scrawled above it. Follow the ringing phone until you land in the dim room with the small TV and cassette deck. Play the first tape there to begin the chain. From that moment you’re after five scattered tapes, then a final summon tape at High Low Electronics.
How do I get the Shapeless Hunter Mask?
Collect every tape, return to the safehouse, and play them in sequence. Here’s the itinerary I used, with the landmarks that matter and the specific actions that trigger each collectible.
Tape 1: Dakota District
Head to the courtyard with the yellow crane. Climb the scaffolding on the crane and step through the open window. Take the left door, enter the bathroom, and the tape sits in the bathtub — easy to miss if you rush the room.
Do I need to play at night to get the Shapeless Hunter Mask?
Yes — the mechanics require night hours. If you arrive during the day the tapes won’t register for this event. Change the time or wait in-game until 9:00 p.m., then trigger the tape sequence from the safehouse.
Tape 2: Lincoln Square
Find the playground with a single light glowing in the gloom. Move to the source of that light; the second tape is tucked nearby. Take it back to the safehouse and play it to advance the sequence.
Tape 3: Dakota District
At the marked door with decorative lights you’ll find Tape 3 sitting close to the frame. It’s a small grab — don’t get sidetracked by mobs nearby. Return it to the TV room and keep the cassette chain flowing.
Tape 4: Lincoln District
Flooded sections and a rusted drainage machine mark Tape 4’s spot. Activate the machine, drain the water, and you’ll reveal a half-buried skeleton with the cassette clutched nearby. It’s one of those odd little environmental puzzles that The Division 2 likes to leave as a signature moment.
Tape 5: Dakota District
Enter the marked building through the opposite door from the first one. Go straight, take the next door to access a stairwell, then follow the stairs down into a maze of pipes. Tape 5 waits at the back of that room — no combat requirement, just persistence.
Where are the tapes for the Shapeless Hunter Mask?
They’re scattered across Dakota and Lincoln districts, and the map of tapes feels like a map stitched from whispers — small details lead to the next note. Gather all five, return to the High Low Electronics location marked on your map, and you’ll find a final tape that summons the hunter.
After you’ve played the final tape in High Low Electronics, the hunter appears — be ready. This fight is meant to be eerie, not just challenging: bring cover, a strong primary weapon, and patience. If you’re on PC, check YouTube for short clips of the hunter’s patterns; on Reddit you’ll find community tips and paths that shave seconds off your route. The Division 2 and Tom Clancy’s name mean Ubisoft built these environmental teasers to reward careful players, not button-mashers.
If you paid for Echoes of Central Park add-on — priced at $14.99 (≈€14) at launch — you’ve already bought your ticket to the hunt. Keep an eye on official channels and Moyens I/O screenshots for location confirmation if anything shifts in a patch.
So: set your clock to night, follow the cassette trail, and keep calm under the lights — will you be the agent who brings the Shapeless Hunter Mask home tonight?
