CONTROL Resonant — Reach Unlock, Complete Set / Subwoofer & Laundry Puzzle
CONTROL Resonant is Remedy Entertainment’s September 24, 2026 action-adventure RPG sequel to CONTROL, played as Dylan Faden in a paranaturally warped Manhattan (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam/Epic, GeForce NOW; Mac later in 2026). This hub covers the two hottest long-tails: how to unlock the Reach grapple ability (Jesse Sightings → The Subway Fault at Railyard Street Station in the Evacuation Zone) and how to finish The Complete Set side quest — four speakers plus the confiscated subwoofer (Langston / Oldest House Executive Research) with the Auction House ritual choice. Short extras: Central laundry / washing-machine puzzle method, what Faults are, and one verified free outfit code (EV172-LN211-PL279).

Unlock Reach (Subway Fault)
Reach is the grapple-style ability that pulls Dylan to glowing Reach Points. You can see those distortions before you can use them. Unlock path:
- Open the Evacuation Zone and go to the northeast corner — Railyard Street Station.
- Enter the subway. Follow the tracks (dodge trains; Mold pockets along the route).
- At the far end, interact with the CRT television to enter The Subway Fault (Jesse Sightings mission).
- Find and talk to Jesse, then help complete her ritual.
- You receive Reach (plus a Living Shard on completion). Practice Reach Points on the exit route.
Tips
- Shift (from the West Incursion Zone Fault) helps on some altered tunnel surfaces, but the mission is still reachable without delaying forever — later routes such as the Underpass expect Reach.
- On PC, Reach is commonly bound to R; on controller, guides cite L3 (left stick click). Confirm in your Options → Controls.
- If a Reach Point looks out of range, jump / levitate / dash closer, then trigger Reach mid-air.
- Reach Points on Gravity Anomalies can flip your gravity the same way Shift does.
This section is what searchers mean by control resonant reach.
The Complete Set & the confiscated subwoofer
The Complete Set is the side quest behind control resonant subwoofer / complete set searches: contain a set of altered SINKKI D50 speakers plus a subwoofer, then finish a ritual at the Downtown Auction House.
Start and speaker loop
- Go to the Museum of Curiosities in the West Incursion Zone. Read the note on the reception counter to start the quest.
- Contain the leaping SINKKI D50 speaker at the back of the Museum (wait for a pause in its knockback pulses).
- Travel to the marked Auction House Downtown — contain another speaker and help the possessed civilian beat.
- Pick up the “There’s People in There” collectible in the Auction House for the remaining locations (can be done in any order):
- Collector’s Apartment → speaker in a dumpster across the street
- Auction Buyer’s Apartment → nearby coffee shop speaker
- Confiscated subwoofer via Langston
Confiscated subwoofer location
- Talk to Langston at the Field Office in Central. He points you to the Oldest House and grants a Clearance / SR keycard.
- Return to the Oldest House Downtown and retrace the tutorial path toward Executive Research.
- Open the locked SR storage door (near the bunker / after the second elevator, corner storage in guides).
- The subwoofer goes berserk and Hiss spawn — clear enemies, wait for a pause, then contain it.
Auction House ritual
Back at the Auction House, place the set. The in-world SINKKI D50 Speaker Set note describes the surfaces:
| Piece | Placement rule (from the note) | Typical landmark in the Auction House |
|---|---|---|
| Speaker | Glass surface | Glass table (1F) |
| Speaker | Rocky surface | Rock pallet on the stage |
| Speaker | Raw wood | Wooden bench (2F) |
| Speaker | Color blue | Blue tarp (2F) |
| Subwoofer | Direct contact with water | Mop-bucket puddle near the possessed civilian |
Then turn all speakers off except the subwoofer (wait for pulse pauses). Speak to the civilian — she wants the subwoofer off; voices from the subwoofer want it turned up.
Turn off vs turn up
| Choice | Narrative beat | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Turn off | Closes “the gate”; civilian dies | Untapped Bout Guard artifact |
| Turn up | Opens “the gate”; body occupied by multiple voices (FBC will collect) | Same Untapped Bout Guard |
Once unlocked in the Gap, Bout Guard raises power recovery (~50%) but increases damage taken (~20%). There is no known follow-up quest that makes one choice strictly better for loot.
Laundry / washing-machine puzzle (Central)
Searchers typing control resonant laundry puzzle, washing machine, or SHUM usually want the Wear’Em & Wash’Em laundry in Central.
- A wall poster shows a binary (1/0) grid. Map rows to the laundry’s washing-machine rows: 1 = on, 0 = off.
- Machines marked Out of Order (sometimes discussed as SHUM faults) usually cannot be switched on, but they still count as positions in the pattern — do not skip them when reading the grid.
- Correct configuration opens a secret door in the laundry backroom with collectibles and a Health Upgrade Point crate.
Use the in-game poster as the source of truth after patches; the method (binary → machines, honor Out-of-Order slots) is what matters.
Faults overview
Faults are paranatural spaces entered through CRT televisions during Jesse Sightings. Finishing a Fault unlocks a major traversal tool:
| Fault (zone) | Landmark | Ability unlocked |
|---|---|---|
| The Subway Fault (Evacuation Zone) | Railyard Street Station subway | Reach |
| West Incursion Fault | West Incursion Zone | Shift (wall/gravity walking) |
Reach is required for later progression (Underpass / routes toward The Unknown in guide consensus). This hub’s Reach section is the deep dive; other Faults follow the same CRT → Jesse → ritual pattern.

Frequently asked questions
What is CONTROL Resonant?
Remedy Entertainment’s sequel to CONTROL, released worldwide September 24, 2026. You play Dylan Faden in a warped Manhattan facing the Hiss, the Mold, and a new resonance threat while searching for Director Jesse Faden.
How do you unlock Reach in CONTROL Resonant?
Complete Jesse Sightings: The Subway Fault at Railyard Street Station in the northeast Evacuation Zone. Enter the subway, use the CRT television to enter the Fault, talk to Jesse, and finish her ritual. Reach then lets you pull toward Reach Points (grapple-style). Shift from the West Incursion Fault helps in parts of the tunnel.
Where is the CONTROL Resonant subwoofer / Complete Set quest?
Start at the Museum of Curiosities (West Incursion Zone) note, contain speakers there and at the Downtown Auction House, then collect the remaining speakers plus the confiscated subwoofer via Langston’s SR keycard in Oldest House Executive Research. Return to the Auction House, place the set (subwoofer in water), and choose turn off vs turn up — both yield the same Untapped Bout Guard artifact.
Should you turn the subwoofer off or up?
Both choices end the quest and award the same Untapped Bout Guard artifact (power recovery up, damage taken up once unlocked in the Gap). Narrative outcomes differ; mechanically there is no better reward.
How do you solve the laundry / washing machine puzzle?
In the Central Wear’Em & Wash’Em laundry, read the wall poster’s binary grid as on/off for the washing-machine rows. Turn on the machines that map to 1s; leave 0s off. Out-of-order machines still count as positions. Correct pattern opens a backroom secret with a Health Upgrade Point and collectibles.
What are Faults in CONTROL Resonant?
Faults are paranatural pockets entered via CRT televisions during Jesse Sightings. Finishing them unlocks traversal abilities — notably Reach (Subway Fault, Evacuation Zone) and Shift (West Incursion Fault). Later routes such as the Underpass expect Reach.
Are there CONTROL Resonant codes?
Yes — a widely published free outfit code is EV172-LN211-PL279 for the MIO Specialist’s Robe. Redeem in Options → Gameplay → Enter Redeem Code, then equip from Dylan’s wardrobe Top Layer. Separate NVIDIA RTX bundle codes redeem in the NVIDIA App, not in-game; we do not list hardware-tied strings here.
Where should I buy or verify CONTROL Resonant?
Official Remedy page, Steam app 3669870, PlayStation, and Xbox storefronts linked on this page. Prefer those over third-party “guide” sites for purchase and patch notes.
