One of the best traversal abilities that Control Resonant has is the Reach. Using this ability, you can pull yourself to the glowing spots scattered throughout the map to access areas that were not reachable before. This is unlocked early on through a side mission called the Subway Fault. In this guide, we will tell you how to unlock the Reach ability early in Control Resonant.
How To Unlock Reach Ability Early
Reach is a traversal ability that allows the player to utilize the light-up markers located across the map. The player will first see the markers at the start of the game, but they won’t be able to use them until they unlock Reach. To get the Reach ability, you need to complete the Subway Fault side quest.
The Subway Fault quest
First, go to the Evacuation Zone, and after that, proceed towards the Rail Yard Street Station. You have to enter the building and take care of some enemies.
The roads which lead up to the area in the Evacuation Zone are blocked; hence, you will have to cross the mould-infested parking lot in order to access the area. After exiting the parking lot, turn right, and Dylan will receive visions of Jesse, starting off The Subway Fault quest in Control Resonant. You just have to go down the Subway staircase in order to unlock The Subway Fault quest and finally the Reach ability.
Now, enter the subway and keep moving in the mould-infested tunnels till you find the vertical Patterned rail track. You have to be very careful about your jumps in order to cross the gaps.
After crossing the rail track, continue moving in the railway tunnels until you come across the downward-sloping train tunnel. Enter the tunnel, but be sure to land on the side of the tunnel and not inside the second one.
After getting off the ground, dive into the mould-filled gap to access a different part of the subway. Follow the passages until you come across an unusual station with one passage above and another below.
You will eventually get into a chamber filled with Mold enemies. Once you deal with them, you will end up in a vast area where there are numerous train lines leading in all directions. The area looks confusing, but the route is quite easy to follow. Jump on the immobile trains in the middle and proceed to the pit beneath.
Once you reach the bottom of the pit, find the glowing blue mould-filled platform. Get there and take care of the enemies on it. Next, just follow the tunnel until you see a CRT TV at the end. Activate it to access the Astral Plane, where you will meet Jesse.
Just follow the linear platforming route until you reach Jesse and talk to her. After talking to her, you will unlock the Reach ability in Control Resonant. From now on, you will be able to reach the glowing gravity orbs from the buildings using Reach.
