Full account
The Shapeless Hunter Mask is a secret reward in The Division 2’s Echoes of Central Park DLC. According to the first report, obtaining it involves collecting five tapes, returning them to a room near the Tower settlement, and completing the sequence at night, between 9pm and 6am in game time. The report describes a separate tape at High Low Electronics that is used to summon the Hunter.
Begin at the safehouse near the Tower settlement. Inside, look for an entrance marked “Help Us”, then follow the sound of a ringing telephone. In a room containing a small television and a tape, play the tape to start the activity. This room becomes the point to which you return as you collect the other recordings.
The five tapes are spread across several locations. The first is in a bathtub: find the courtyard with a yellow crane, use the scaffolding to reach an open window, then enter the bathroom through the door on the left. Another tape is beside a light at a playground, and a third is by a building entrance decorated with lights. For the fourth, activate a machine in a flooded area to drain the water and reveal a partly buried skeleton carrying the tape. The fifth lies at the back of a pipe-filled room reached by taking stairs down inside a building. The supplied report identifies several of these places through map images, so its text alone does not give precise map positions.
After collecting the five tapes, return to the starting room and play them, then go to High Low Electronics for the final tape that summons the Hunter. The first report does not describe the ensuing fight or explicitly state when the mask drops. The second supplied report instead covers the Piercing Gaze Hunter mask: it describes shooting two walls in Lincoln Square to reveal letters, destroying objects on a roof, and defeating a Hunter. Those are instructions for a different mask and should not be treated as steps in the Shapeless sequence.
Where outlets differ
From the full account, which is AI-written from the sources:
The reports cover different Hunter masks rather than offering competing versions of one method. Source 1 focuses on the Shapeless mask’s night-time tape hunt; Source 2 focuses on the Piercing Gaze mask’s Lincoln Square clues and Hunter fight.
Explained simply
The Division 2 is an online action game in which players explore a post-crisis version of the United States, complete missions and search for equipment. Echoes of Central Park is downloadable content set in New York’s Central Park area, where hidden activities can reward special items.
The Shapeless Hunter Mask is linked to a “hunter”, a powerful enemy featured in hidden challenges across the game. The activity is triggered by clues and audio tapes scattered around the area, and its timing depends on the game’s day-night cycle. Finding the mask involves exploring several locations and facing the summoned enemy.
