Control Resonant health upgrade point locations

Health upgrade points are collected from large resource crates across Control Resonant. Find three points to increase your maximum health, making exploration and combat against difficult enemies more forgiving.

This guide is a work in progress and covers the currently identified locations. The crates resemble small ice cream stands and may be found near vendors or inside secret hideouts. Exploring each zone and levelling it up can reveal large resource crates on the map, although the contents are not shown until you inspect them.

For players who enjoy tracking down hidden collectibles, our arcade gaming blog has more guides and gaming features.

Downtown health upgrade points

Downtown contains five points. Four are accessible without traversal abilities; the fifth requires Reach from the Evacuation Zone.

1. Urban Fresh Mart: During the prologue, turn right after leaving the Oldest House. Enter the market and inspect the ice cream stand.
   

   

2. Atlantis Cafe: Northwest of the Oldest House, solve the appliance-order puzzle inside the cafe. The completed puzzle opens a hideout containing the stand.
   

   

3. Brick-building rooftop: Travel east of the Oldest House and use Elevate to reach the brick building. The stand is on the southernmost rooftop.
   

   

4. Vendor: From the “Outside the Oldest House” fast travel door, go southwest into the alley across the street. The stand is to the vendor’s left.
   

   

5. Island south of the Chasm fast travel door: Use Reach at Lookout Point’s balcony, follow the road south, Reach to the rooftops on the left and glide to the island. The stand is on its southern corner.
   

   

Central health upgrade points

Central has six points, enough for two maximum-health increases. One is locked behind main-story progress.

1. Central Supply Route Station: Leave the Underground Supply Route and search the small storefront inside the subway station.
   

   

2. Urban Fresh Mart: Enter the market northwest of the Field Office.
   

   

3. Wear’Em & Wash’Em Laundromat: Go northwest of East Park Station. Turn on the machines marked with 1s on the note and switch off the incorrect machines to open the hideout.
   

   

4. Vendor: Travel southeast of the Patterned Factory to find the vendor and nearby point.
   

   

5. Patterned Factory: After clearing the red masses from the pipes, enter the route behind the barred door. At the next fork, go left and follow the path to the point.
   

   

6. Field Office Station: During “Power Lines”, reach the station after rerouting all three stations. Use the tuning device on Platform A to teleport to Platform B, climb the stairs, transfer the power core and enter the room.
   

   

West Incursion Zone health upgrade points

Four points are located here. Most require Shift, learned through the Parking Garage fault. The Parking Garage point is technically obtainable earlier, but completing the fault makes it easier.

1. Vendor: Fly over the Hiss spikes in the alley northwest of the map pylon. The point is immediately left of the vendor.
   

   

2. Parking Garage: Complete the Parking Garage fault to learn Shift, then follow the road as you leave. A lit ice cream stand is ahead.
   

   

3. Urban Fresh Mart: In the market on the zone’s southeast road, enter the soda-dispenser code at the cash register. The resulting hideout contains the point.
   

   

4. Empire Avenue Station: Enter the station while travelling towards the resonant. The point is inside Jumpin’ Joe’s Books & Comics Galore.
   

   

Evacuation Zone health upgrade points

There are four points in this area. One is technically in The Park, but reaching it requires travelling through the Evacuation Zone.

1. Könstig Art Gallery: Southeast of the “Main Street” fast travel door, solve the gallery puzzle to reveal the hideout.
   

   

2. Vendor: Find the vendor east of the “Main Street” fast travel door; the point is directly beside it.
   

   

3. Evac Building: Progress through “Evacuation Procedures”. After defeating enemies on the 12th floor and reaching the scaffolding platforming section, the point is on the route.
   

   

4. Subway fault: After completing the fault, reach the “Patterned Metro Tunnels” fast travel door. Enter the blue door beside it and follow the path.
   

   

The Park health upgrade points

Three points have been identified in The Park so far.

1. Route to the resonant: After eating the three moulds, pass through the mouldy gate at the bottom of the pit. The point is along the route.
   

   

2. Vendor: Enter the parking garage on the northeast side of The Park, then climb the giant mould wall on the southwest-bound road. The vendor and point are on the garage roof.
   

   

3. Atlantis Cafe: At the southeast corner of The Park, record the orders from tables 1, 5, 4 and 2, then enter their associated letters at the cash register. This opens the hideout.
   

   

Underpass health upgrade points

Two points have been identified in the Underpass.

1. Vendor: Follow the glow sticks after entering the Underpass. When you reach the desks and pillar, head towards the red Hiss spikes instead of following the rope, then glide over to the vendor and point.
   

   

2. Path to the Underpass Resonant: After climbing the Spire, enter the white area with black pillars and reach the first save point. Turn right towards the distant floating island and follow the cluttered path to the point.
