CONTROL Resonant Build Power Explained

Where to Find Build Power

Open Loadout and check the bottom-left number. The update makes this easier to find than the older Stats & Effects location.

Why Build Power Matters

Treat a difficult encounter as a reason to check progression as well as combat choices. Remedy notes that fighting enemies above your level is harder.

How to Raise Your Build Power

Continue side quests, explore and level up. Review upgrades when you return to The Gap. This guide does not claim a tested fastest farming route.

Build Power in New Game Plus

Combat abilities, talents, artifacts, Aberrant upgrades and health/resource improvements carry forward. Traversal abilities remain tied to story progress. The planner records choices, not your actual in-game power.

What Changed in Update 1.4.0

The visible Loadout number is a quality-of-life change. The update also introduces New Game++ for further runs. Check the official notes for platform-specific fixes.
