Control Resonant Cash Register Codes and Secret Hideout Solutions

The two cash register codes (Urban Fresh Mart and Atlantis Cafe), how each clue works, and the solutions to all six Secret Hideouts with their Health Upgrade rewards.

Short answer

Urban Fresh Mart (West Incursion Zone): 1213. Atlantis Cafe (The Park): BDAC. At Urban Fresh Mart the soda dispenser flashes 3121, but a counter note says the order is reversed, so enter 1213. At the Atlantis Cafe, read the drink on each reserved table in the note’s order (tables 1, 5, 4, 2) and convert each drink to its menu letter. Both codes open a hidden stairway to a Secret Hideout with a Health Upgrade; solve all six hideouts for the Backroom Espionage trophy.

Urban Fresh Mart code: 1213

Where: the Urban Fresh Mart in the West Incursion Zone, north of the Museum of Curiosities and south of the House of Mirrors (TechWiser). Brutes guard the front; the debris over the door only clears once they are dead. Game Rant suggests Faltering them so you can finish them off whatever their health.

  • Note 1, “Soda Dispenser Debate” (back corner): the dispenser’s flashing lights are the clue.
  • Note 2 (on the counter): the distributor has been reversing the drink orders.
  • The dispenser by the window: interact and it lights the first three drinks, then the first one, then the first two, then the first one again — 3-1-2-1.
  • The code: reverse it. Enter 1213 at the cash register. 3121 does nothing.

A wall on the left slides open onto a staircase. Downstairs: a Health Upgrade and four files — Avoid the French Delegation, Hunka Love, Audit Outcome and Steaming Open Envelopes.

Atlantis Cafe code: BDAC

Where: the southeast corner of The Park, directly in front of the Research Site; it is the only shop with working lights on its block and shows a “?” on the map when you are close (Game Rant). TheGamer says you need Evacuation Zone Jesse Sighting done first, then reach it from the FBC Base by using Gravity Shift over the raised street. Mold enemies patrol outside.

The register wants four letters, not numbers. Three clues work together: the menu gives every drink a letter, a handwritten note gives the order of the regulars’ reserved tables, and a leaflet on each of those tables names the drink.

Note orderTableLeaflet drinkMenu letter

2ndTable 5The Spiciest ChaiD
3rdTable 4EspressoA
4thTable 2Caramel LatteC

Enter B-D-A-C. A secret door beside the counter opens to a basement with lore files and a Health Upgrade. TheGamer spells the café “Atlantic”; Game Rant and PowerPyx call it Atlantis.

All 6 Secret Hideouts

The two registers are only a third of the set. Every zone except the Underpass has one Secret Hideout behind a shop puzzle:

Downtown: appliance order

In the Downtown Atlantis restaurant, interact with these in order and the back wall opens (PowerPyx):

  • 1. Wall box in the back-right corner (L1/LB prompt)
  • 2. Radio, on the left as you enter
  • 3. Dark coffee maker on the counter
  • 4. White coffee maker on the metal shelf behind the counter
  • 5. Soda machine next to the coffee maker
  • 6. Microwave next to the coffee maker
  • 7. Fridge in the corner behind the counter

In the art gallery, use the L1/LB prompt on each of the four pillars to set its light (PowerPyx):

The door in the left corner opens onto the hideout.

Unknown: Pulse Fitness routine

The Unknown has an upside-down copy of this street. If the marker leads you to an art gallery, you are on the wrong side: flip gravity 180° to reach the Pulse Fitness street (PowerPyx). Inside, use the equipment in this order:

  • 1. Treadmill at 0.5 MPH
  • 2. Bike at 15 MPH
  • 3. Vending machine
  • 4. Treadmill at 15 MPH
  • 5. Bike at 0.5 MPH

The hidden door behind the gym poster opens. Getting around the Unknown at all depends on Pope’s Research — see how to get to the Unknown.

Rewards and trophies

  • Health Upgrade: one in every hideout basement, plus lore files.
  • Backroom Espionage: trophy/achievement for solving all six hideouts. Order does not matter, and none is missable.
  • Core Competency: the trophy for collecting three Health Upgrade Points; three hideouts are enough on their own.

Sources disagree on a few details. The Central laundromat solution is the one place where guides describe the machines differently; our washing machine guide uses the version matched against gameplay footage. If a code is rejected, check that you are in the right building: Downtown and The Park both have an Atlantis.

Cash register and hideout FAQ

What is the cash register code in Control Resonant? There are two. The Urban Fresh Mart register in the West Incursion Zone takes 1213. The Atlantis Cafe register in The Park takes the letters BDAC. Both open a hidden stairway to a Secret Hideout with a Health Upgrade.

Why does 3121 not work at Urban Fresh Mart? The soda dispenser flashes 3-1-2-1, but a note on the counter says the distributor has been reversing the drink order. Reverse it and enter 1213; 3121 does nothing.

How do you get BDAC at the Atlantis Cafe? The handwritten note lists the regulars’ tables in the order 1, 5, 4, 2. Read the leaflet on each table and look its drink up on the menu: Table 1 Iced Coffee (B), Table 5 The Spiciest Chai (D), Table 4 Espresso (A), Table 2 Caramel Latte (C). In that order the code is BDAC.

How many Secret Hideouts are in Control Resonant? Six, one each in Downtown, Central, the Evacuation Zone, the West Incursion Zone, The Park and the Unknown. Each holds a Health Upgrade, and solving all six unlocks the Backroom Espionage trophy or achievement.

Are the Secret Hideouts missable? No. The guides we checked agree that they can be done in any order and are still available after the main story.
