The Tinkerer Exotic Mask can only be obtained as a drop from the Season Finale mission, "The Manager: Potomac Event Center", of Year 7 Season 1 Crossroads.

To get "The Manager: Potomac Event Center" mission, players must complete the two HVT bounties for this season's Manhunt. These HVTs can be found in the following weeks of the Crossroads Manhunt:

• Week 8 Scout HVT Objectives

After completing these two sets of challenges, the Season Finale mission "The Manager: Potomac Event Center" will unlock.
