Central Executive

CONTROL Ultimate Edition guide · Secure the Control Point and meet Emily Pope

Jesse Faden arrives at the Board Room and main lobby area of Central Executive, which is trapped inside an active Hiss red resonance field. You must eliminate all the corrupted FBC personnel stationed across the tiered walkways to clear the area and claim the Control Point. Cleansing the point brings down the safety shelter, introducing Emily Pope and establishing the Central Executive hub for the Bureau.
