You can successfully reroute the control resonant power lines by clearing out Hiss infestations at three specific subway stations. After rescuing Arish, Dylan finds himself tasked with this mission to stabilize the city and power up the CFD weapon.
It is surprisingly easy to get turned around in the subway tunnels, especially when you are being hunted by the Hiss. Don’t waste time wandering aimlessly; simply follow the yellow power lines on the floor to locate your objective markers quickly.
Before you jump in, ensure you have your favorite combat loadout ready, as every station entrance is locked until you eliminate all hostiles in the immediate vicinity.
You will need to power up the CFD weapon by visiting the Perimeter, East Park, and Factory stations. Each requires a specific sequence of actions to activate the local Tuning Device.
This is part of our Control Resonant walkthrough series, so check our other guides if you need help with additional game objectives.

Reroute Perimeter Station
The Perimeter Station entrance is located centrally, but you must defeat all the nearby enemies to clear the way first. Once the path is open, head down and follow the corridor to your left to find the charged power cells.
Take these power cells to the small room on the opposite side to open the gate and claim your crate. Hold onto that charge, as you will need it later in the puzzle.
Keep that charge handy, as you will need it for the room puzzle shortly.
Puzzle Explanation
At the bottom of the station, you will see a Tuning Device with yellow lines leading to empty floor squares. These squares are the designated spots for your Calibration Units.
The locations for these units are marked on your minimap, so don’t feel like you have to search every corner of the station.
Your goal is to gather all three units and place them on the correct squares to activate the machine.
The clues found in notes around the device are helpful, but you can skip the reading by following the steps below.
Gather all three Calibration Units near the Tuning Device first. You will need to use the charge you found earlier to open the locked door and access the unit hiding inside.
Once you have them grouped up, proceed to the placement phase.
Arrange the Calibration Units on the following squares to finish the Perimeter Station sequence:
- Place one Calibration Unit directly next to the Tuning Device.
- Place the second unit on the square located at the top of the stairs opposite your entry point.
- Place the final unit inside the upper-floor room where you previously collected the crate.
Head back to the Tuning Device and activate it.
A green message on the panel confirms the power is successfully rerouted.
Reroute The East Park Station
Head east to East Park Station and clear out the hostiles blocking the entrance. It is the same process as before, but this one has a tricky teleportation mechanic.
Go downstairs and clear the Mold from the floor squares. One unit is trapped behind a locked gate, which is the key to finishing this area.
Make sure you fully clear the Mold so it does not interfere with the calibration squares.
If you touch the Tuning Device without the correct unit placement, you will be teleported randomly. You must set them up correctly to gain access to the final unit.
Place one unit next to the stairs and another in front of the Tuning Device. Interacting with the device now will send you into the locked room.
Destroy the panel to open the gate, grab the final unit, and place it on the remaining open square. Hit the Tuning Device one last time to finish.
As you leave, you will catch a distress call from Dr. Florez. They are trapped nearby, but you can safely ignore this for now to finish your current tasks.
Keep moving toward the next station; you will have time to help them later.
Reroute Factory Station
Travel northwest of the Patterned Factory to find the final station. Clear the enemies to gain access to the lower level.
Gather all three Calibration Units near the Tuning Device. Check your map if you have trouble finding them in the clutter.
For this one, simply arrange all three units in a straight line extending from the Tuning Device. It sounds too simple, but it works perfectly.
Upon interacting with the device, it will teleport you to a mysterious fourth location, triggering the MCD.
Zoe manages to stop the device, but the reading confirms Dylan has left Manhattan. You are now stuck in a strange, hidden station.
There is no exit to the surface, and you will hear a desperate call from Agent Clarke.
Locate the radio on the wall and use it to talk with Dr. Florez. She is stuck in the same station as you, and you will need to work together to escape.
Reroute The Vanished Station
Move forward through the tracks and take out any enemies you encounter. Unfortunately, you will hear Agent Clarke die during this segment.
You will pass his body, but there is no need to interact with it. Just keep pushing forward.
At the end of the path, you will find Tuning Device A and a hint for the puzzle ahead.
This is the most complex puzzle in the game. You must calibrate both Platform A and Platform B to escape.
Follow the steps below to navigate the cables and Mold that make this area so confusing.
Help The Survivors
Interact with the device on Platform A to teleport to Platform B. Head up the stairs to find the trapped survivors.
Move the charge from the left cell to the right cell to cut the lights. This unlocks the room containing a Calibration Unit and a Health Upgrade.
Destroy the Mold covering the gate to reach the survivors. Grab the Calibration Unit from this room before moving on.
Destroy the panel on the gate ahead to create a shortcut back to Platform A.
Calibrate Platform A
Carry the charge through your new shortcut back to Platform A.
Insert the charge into the cell near the Tuning Device. This unlocks the upper gate, letting you grab another Calibration Unit.
Place your units on the two squares and activate the device to calibrate Platform A.
Calibrate Platform B
You will notice cut cables on Platform B preventing power flow. You need to use Mold growth to bridge these gaps.
Grow the Mold to act as a conductor and restore the connection.
Bring all remaining Calibration Units to Platform B to make the setup process easier.
Move the charges from the upper floor cells to Platform B. The lights will turn on, the Mold will grow, and you will finally have the power connection needed to finish.
