Control Resonant Power Upgrade Point Locations

Each Power Upgrade Point is a third of a bigger Power bar for Dylan, and Control Resonant spreads 30 of them across all eight zones: 22 in Large Resource Crates and eight as arcade scoreboard prizes. The crates alone cover the 12 points the Astral trophy needs. If you’ve been calling it Control 2 all along, your first point is in a Hiss-filled apartment block, and the Downtown map of the southern residential building leads you there.

Vlad Susanu opened all 22 crates and placed on every scoreboard that pays a point for Map Master, and the Control Resonant upgrade map for every zone shows them alongside the Health points. Thirty points make ten full Power Upgrades, more than twice what Astral asks for, so you can ignore any cabinet you don’t enjoy.


How Power Upgrade Points Work in Control Resonant


Every third point raises Dylan’s maximum Power, which means more Combat Abilities before you need to recover. Your first full upgrade of either kind unlocks Core Competency, while four Power upgrades, 12 points, unlock Astral, and the Astral and Core Competency requirements cover both trophies.


Power and Health points come out of the same kind of crate, so you’ll often open a Large Resource Crate expecting one and get the other. The game has 27 Health Upgrade Points for the other bar, so between the two, every crate you open moves one of your upgrades forward.


Power Upgrade Points From Arcade Cabinets


Eight points are scoreboard prizes, seven for second place and one for third. Second place pays on Defend Challenge in Downtown, Parkour Challenge in Central and the Unknown, Entropy in the Evacuation Zone, the West Incursion Zone, and The Park, and Clocked in the Underpass, and the arcade cabinet prize ladders show what the other places pay.


The eighth is third place on Severed Circle 2, which only opens after The End and the Hedron fight. That gives the Unknown two cabinet points, more than any other zone, and the Unknown map of the Parkour and Severed Circle cabinets places both.


Power Upgrade Points in Testing Facilities and Behind Locked Doors


Four Testing Facilities reward a Power crate in the locked room that opens once you shut the lab down: Downtown, Central, the Evacuation Zone, and the West Incursion Zone. The other two labs give outfit pieces instead, and the FBC Testing Facility shutdown puzzles explain all six.


Three more crates wait behind doors you have to open. A Power Core charge opens the Patterned Factory’s Generator Room and an iron door under the Watchtower, and the Level 2 Keycard opens Central’s R&C Storage Room, which the Central map of the R&C Storage Room places. The Artist’s plaza crate only appears once that boss is down.


Power Upgrade Points That Come With Quests


Seven crates arrive through quests. The House in Distress, New Growth, Maintenance Protocol, and The Unknown Resonant each pass one, and Recursions and Iterations adds two, one on the Underpass Chasm and one that spawns in an Evacuation Zone laundromat. The Park map of Underhill’s Sewer Lab places the New Growth crate.


The seventh appears behind Zoe in her office once The Hedron Link is done, and the Watchtower map of the crate behind Zoe places it with the zone’s other two, the iron-door crate and one in a subway office on the stairs down to Central. The Evacuation Zone map of the laundromat crate has the quest crate that’s easiest to forget.


The Quickest Route to 12 Power Upgrade Points


Start with the seven crates that need no quest at all. The Downtown apartment block, the West Supply Route Station, the House of Mirrors office, the Park Checkpoint, the Unknown Factory, the bottom of the Sinkhole, and the Watchtower’s subway office need nothing more than the right power, if any, and the West Incursion Zone map of the House of Mirrors office has one of the easiest.


Add the four Testing Facility crates and one quest crate, and you have 12 without touching a cabinet. Downtown has the most points at six; Central, the Underpass, and the Unknown have four each, and the other four zones have three. The Underpass map of the Sinkhole floor crate has the deepest crate of the lot.
