Control Resonant Large Resource Crate Locations

Large Resource Crates are the big containers with Dylan’s permanent upgrades inside, and Control Resonant hides 50 of them across all eight zones. Forty-eight give a single upgrade point, 26 for Health and 22 for Power, and the last two give outfit pieces. If you’ve followed the game since its Control 2 days, start in Downtown, which has the most, and the Downtown map of the Resonant plaza crate marks one of its ten.

For Map Master, Vlad Susanu checked the reward inside each of the 50 before pinning it, and the Control Resonant crate and upgrade maps connect every zone. Exactly half of the upgrade crates, 12 of each type, cover both upgrade trophies, so the hardest crates to reach are optional.


What’s Inside a Large Resource Crate: Health, Power, or an Outfit


Three points of the same type make one full upgrade, so the crates alone add up to eight Health Upgrades and seven Power Upgrades, with two Health points and one Power point to spare. Personal Development and Astral each ask for 12 points, and Core Competency unlocks with your first full upgrade of either kind.


The crates aren’t the only source. One Health point and eight Power points come from arcade cabinets, which brings the totals to 27 and 30, as the Health Upgrade Point route and the Power Upgrade Point locations and arcade prizes lay out.


Large Resource Crates From Secret Hideouts and Testing Facilities


All six Secret Hideouts end with a Health crate: Downtown’s Atlantis Cafe, Central’s dry cleaner, Charlie Meecham’s gallery in the Evacuation Zone, the West Incursion Zone’s Urban Fresh Mart, The Park’s Atlantis Cafe, and the Unknown’s Pulse Gym. The Secret Hideout puzzle walkthroughs solve each basement.


The six Testing Facilities each unlock a crate. Four give Power, in Downtown, Central, the Evacuation Zone, and the West Incursion Zone, while The Park’s lab gives the Emergency Hood and the Unknown’s the Firebreaker Goggles, the two outfit crates. The Testing Facility shutdowns and rewards cover all six.


Large Resource Crates Behind a Keycard, a Power Core, or a Boss


Some crates wait on one specific task. The Artist’s plaza crate only opens after that fight, Central’s R&C Storage Room needs the Level 2 Keycard, and a Power Core charge opens both the Patterned Factory Generator Room and an iron door under the Watchtower. The Watchtower map of the Supply Route iron door places that one.


Powers and hidden routes open others. The West Supply Route Station crate in Downtown needs Shift, the Underpass office above the Mysterious Dog needs the block inverted, and The Park’s isolated checkpoint crate is reached by an elevator hidden behind a Mold wall, as the Park map of the isolated checkpoint elevator shows. All of these give Power except the Underpass office.


Large Resource Crates That Come With the Story


Nine crates come with quests. Evacuation Procedures, The Central Resonant, Power Lines, The Park Resonant, and The Incursion Fault each pass a Health crate, while New Growth, The House in Distress, Maintenance Protocol, and The Unknown Resonant add Power. The West Incursion Zone map of the Parking Garage exit places the Incursion Fault crate.


Three more only appear late. Recursions and Iterations spawns one in an Evacuation Zone laundromat and opens another on the edge of the Underpass Chasm, which the Evacuation Zone map of the checkpoint laundromat and the Underpass map of the eastern Chasm platform place. The last appears behind Zoe once The Hedron Link is done.


Large Resource Crates by Zone and What’s Left to Check


Downtown has ten, split evenly between Health and Power, followed by eight in Central, seven in The Park, six each in the West Incursion Zone and the Underpass, five each in the Evacuation Zone and the Unknown, and three in the Watchtower, all Power. The Central map of the Patterned Factory crates has two of Central’s eight.


If your count is short, check the late spawns first: the laundromat, the Chasm, and Zoe’s office only appear after their quests, and the Unknown’s five only open once you reach that zone, which the Unknown map of the Factory locker room covers. Every crate stays where it is after the credits.
