Control Resonant Untapped Artifact Recipes

You can build 40 Artifacts in Control Resonant, and 35 of them start as an Untapped Artifact, a recipe you turn into the real item at the Artifact Formation station in the Gap. Quests and activities give you 16, Vendors sell 11 for 1,000 Source each, and the six Resonants drop one apiece. If you followed the game back when people called it Control 2, the Downtown map of the Artist’s plaza is where your first recipe, Badge 11-60, drops.

Vlad Susanu, who owns Map Master, crafted every Artifact on the list and noted what each one costs you, as well as what it gives, and the Control Resonant build and loadout maps lead to every source. That matters, because eleven Artifacts come with a real drawback.


How Untapped Artifacts Work: Craft, Equip, and Swap


An Untapped Artifact does nothing until you craft it. Take it to the Gap, spend the Source and materials it asks for, and the recipe is used up as the finished Artifact appears. You can equip three at once in your first playthrough and four in New Game Plus, but never two from the same family.


Recycling gives your materials back, not the recipe, so think before you break down something you might want later. Recipes cost Source plus materials, most often Echoes: the Lighter needs 150 Source and three Quiet Echoes, and Badge 11-60 five Quiet Echoes, so the free Quiet Echo sources in Downtown and Central cover both.


Where Untapped Artifacts Come From: Quests, Vendors, Bosses, and Zone Levels


Sixteen recipes are quest or activity rewards, from Panopticon Service Request to the Last Taxi, the Freeze Cameras, and every dog in Manhattan, and the side quests that pay an Artifact show when each one opens. Two more come from the main story: the Worn Eraser from Fight to the Core and the Pickpocket’s Tool for finishing The Beginning.


Buying all eleven Vendor recipes costs 11,000 Source, and the Vendor stock in each zone shows who sells what. Three late Artifacts skip the recipe entirely and unlock at high Zone Levels, the Novelty Magnet comes from first place on the post-game arcade cabinet, and the Wallet is a Deluxe Edition bonus you start with.


The Six Resonant Untapped Artifacts and the Best Early Crafts


Every Resonant drops a recipe: Badge 11-60 from the Artist, the Lighter from the Deserter, the Amulet from the Dancer, the Face Mask from the Collective, the Golden Earrings from the Physicist, and the 1996 Commemorative Coin from the Co-Director. The Central map of the Patterned Factory furnace has the Lighter’s fight, and the Unknown map of the Patterned Field Office has the Co-Director fight that drops the Coin.


Craft Badge 11-60 first, since it comes from the first boss and cuts hazard damage everywhere. Before The Park’s Mold fights, consider the Molding Bar from that zone’s Vendor, which trades a 50% Health cap for Infected immunity, and the Park map with The Park’s Vendor shows where to buy it. The Face Mask and Lighter only arrive after the bosses they’d help against, so they’re for the rest of the game.


Untapped Artifacts With a Drawback


Eleven Artifacts trade something away for their bonus. The Ornate Buckle, Bout Guard, and Energy Drink make you take more damage, the Brass Dusters and Framing Hammer remove either Falter or damage from Combat Abilities, and the Golden Earrings cut damage by 30% for extra Falter. The Underpass map of the Vendor slab has the Framing Hammer’s seller.


The rest cap or drain something. World Tour Tickets caps your Power at 50%, the Molding Bar caps Health at 50%, the Wallet spends Health when Power runs out, the Whetstone trades Falter for damage, and Bug Spray doubles Infected build-up. The Heart Monitor saves you from one death and then breaks. If you want World Tour Tickets anyway, the Evacuation Zone map of the Evac Building’s 15th floor shows the Vendor that sells them.


Untapped Artifact Totals by Zone and the Crafting Trophies


Downtown has the most sources at ten, then the Unknown with nine, Central seven, The Park five, the Evacuation Zone four, the West Incursion Zone three, and the Underpass two. The West Incursion Zone map of the Theater Hall has the Dancer and the Amulet, and the zone’s Vendor sells Spray Paint.


Three trophies come from crafting: Paranatural Apprentice for your first Artifact, Paranatural Craftsman for equipping three, and Paranatural Artisan for 30 crafts, and the Artifact trophies on the Control Resonant trophy list explain each one. With 35 recipes, or 34 without the Deluxe Wallet, you can reach 30 without crafting anything you’d never use.
