So as expected the vending machine merge glitch got patched, but not to worry a workaround has been found.

Requirements:

one of the 2 ammunations with the vending machine (shooting range varients)

a saved outfit with the accessories you want to merge a mask onto

Step by step guide:

so first you'll need pick all your accessories (hats/glasses/earpieces) and save that to one of your custom outfit slots (this is not necessary if your acessories of choice are on a single outfit

now equip the mask that you want to merge with your outfit

stand in front of the vending machine and buy a soda

do not move during this process untill your character nearly let's go of the can (as he's throwing it to the side)

now walk towards the clothing rack (on the wall) but be quick because you have about 1 to 2 seconds before your mask will reappear

if you are in the clothing menu without a mask it has worked (read important notice) now equip your previously saved outfit and exit out of the menu

now interact with the vending machine again and your mask should appear with your acessories still there

that is it you are able to save your outfit now

Important notice Sometimes just before you go into the clothing menu your hat will reappear, If you then go into the clothing menu and are maskless it has failed and you should try again.

If you had not seen the mask reappear or the filter reappear (in first person) but whenever you interact with the vending machine you just drink, you should try again.

Timing is essential and very tricky, i have spend about 30 to 40 tries and have gotten it to work about 5 times now.

Happy merging.
