CONTROL Resonant Missions — Choose Your Next Lead
Separate Dylan's main story from Jesse Quests, World Quests, Faults and Zone activities. Start with the activity type when you need movement, story context or a short combat challenge.
01 / The question
Which quest line should you advance next?
Contain the Crisis carries the main story, Search for Jesse opens traversal routes, and Defeating Resonants expands Dylan's Combat Ability choices. When one line stops, check whether another line supplies the missing movement tool, regional boss or supporting mission.

| Dylan's Journey ↗ | Resonant | This is Remedy's name for the main campaign. It is a quest category, not the title of one mission or a published chapter-by-chapter list.We use the main-story route for Dylan's central objective, but we do not turn the early previews into a complete mission order. |
| World Quests ↗ | Resonant | These are stories outside the main campaign route. Remedy distinguishes them from the broader mix of encounters, environmental challenges and hidden discoveries.Choose a story because its situation interests you; a separate map activity is not automatically a World Quest. |
| Faults ↗ | Resonant | Fault missions reshape movement through altered spaces. The Incursion Fault unlocks Shift, while the Subway Fault unlocks Reach.Check the individual encounter's evidence before assuming all Faults give traversal upgrades. |
