Control Resonant Reach Ability: Unlock and Uses

The Subway Fault route, what Reach does and where you need it.

Short answer

Reach is unlocked by finishing The Subway Fault in the Evacuation Zone, near Railyard Street Station. Fight through the subway tunnels, enter the Fault and talk to Jesse; “Reach / Received” appears after the cutscene. Reach pulls Dylan to the glowing orb Reach Points on ledges and rooftops (Nerdschalk, All Things How).

The Subway Fault route

  • Go to the Evacuation Zone building by Railyard Street Station (opens after Downtown).
  • Clear the entrance and the four heavy enemies to open the wall passage.
  • Head down to the subway, time your moves around passing trains and beat the heavies in the way.
  • Defeat the two large flying enemies, enter the Fault and reach Jesse on her platform.
  • Talk to Jesse to receive Reach.

Nerdschalk says the opening fights have skull-marked enemies at level 2 and feel easier around level 4.

Where Reach is used

Reach crosses large gaps between buildings, climbs shafts and floating islands, and opens shortcuts across Manhattan. Combat abilities are separate; see the abilities guide and Push or Ground Slam.
