Dead Letters

CONTROL Ultimate Edition guide · Sort through the dead letters to find clues about the Board

The Dead Letters department is an early-game area within the Executive Sector filled with massive vertical mail sorting shelves and office desks. Jesse passes through here during the main mission "Unknown Caller" on her way to the Communications Department to find the Hotline. Players must defeat waves of Hiss enemies, claim a Control Point, and can uncover hidden areas containing crafting materials and collectible files.
