Control Resonant Crisis Containment Memo Locations

Control Resonant has 19 Crisis Containment collectibles, the FBC’s own memos and briefings from the outbreak. They’re spread across five zones, and 11 can be picked up whenever you pass, while 8 are tied to a keycard, Reach, a fight, or a story mission. Bureau paperwork has been a running joke since the original Control, and the sequel fans pencilled in as Control 2 keeps it going: the Downtown Manhattan interactive map alone has six of these files.

The Bureau’s paper trail was followed desk by desk by Vlad Susanu for Map Master, and the other Archive sets are all linked from our Control Resonant guides and interactive maps. The table pins each desk, while the sections below explain what each zone has and what unlocks the stragglers.


Crisis Containment Collectibles in Downtown: Green Offices and the Oldest House


Downtown has six, and three of them are on desks in green office buildings, two around the Oldest House and one northeast of the Downtown Vendor. Request: Change Of Post is on a desk at the end of the southern street, and Safety Alert: Hiss Spikes waits in a back alley lined with the very spikes it warns about.


The sixth, Warning, is inside the West Supply Route Station, which you enter from the northern West Incursion Zone side. It’s the only Downtown document underground, so it’s easy to overlook on a street sweep of Downtown. Its subject, a sudden drop in the subway tunnel, is fair warning for the route down to it.


Crisis Containment Collectibles in the Evacuation Zone: Subways and the Sinkhole


The map of the Evacuation Zone has six, the joint most with Downtown, and two pairs share a theme. The FBC Subway Report and the PR Guidance memo both cover the Patterned subway tunnels, while the Sinkhole Transcript and Guidelines To Accessing The Sinkhole document the hole that leads to the Underpass.


Pick up the FBC Subway Report when you activate the zone’s Map Kit Pylon, since it’s on the desk right behind it. The Sinkhole Transcript is on the story route just past the crossing in our Control Resonant Checkpoint guide, and Ranger’s Stakeout Notes is on a rooftop that’s easy once Reach unlocks.


Guidelines To Accessing The Sinkhole is the easiest to miss: it only spawns after Recursions and Iterations begins, when the Laundromat turns into an FBC checkpoint for the Sinkhole. If the Laundromat table is empty, the quest hasn’t started yet.


Crisis Containment Collectibles in Central: Keycards, Hiss, and Langston


Central has five, and three need something first. The FBC Policy Update: Security, Arish’s order moving every guard onto the Rangers, is locked inside the Security Station behind the Level 1 Security Keycard from our Control Resonant keycards and Key Items.


Hiss Brief is in a garage guarded by Hiss, so clear them before searching, and the Bureau’s records on those enemies continue in our Hiss Research collectibles. The FBC Welcome Letter for Dr. Florez is outside the Field Hospital and is best collected after Enemy of My Enemy begins.


The easy two on the interactive Central map are Langston’s Beat Poetry #27, beside his workstation, and Encounter Report: Strange Dog in the warehouse west of the Field Office. The dog report is a good excuse to start the hunt in our Control Resonant dog locations.


How Many Crisis Containment Collectibles There Are, and Which Comes Last


There are 19: six each in Downtown and the Evacuation Zone, five in Central, and one each in the Watchtower and the Unknown. Our Control Resonant Watchtower map has just one, Status Enquiry, which turns up in the Underground Supply Route during Welcome to Manhattan, so you reach it naturally during the story.


The Patterned Supply Distribution Check List is the last one, a patterned copy of an FBC document that our Unknown zone map puts inside the Patterned Field Office, reached during the Unknown Resonant quest. None of the 19 are missable, and the Bureau’s files on paranatural objects continue in our Altered Item Reports set.
