- 36Wiki detailFBC Field OfficeThe Federal Bureau of Control's field office is the evolving central hub linking the game's handcrafted Manhattan Zones; it is not a claim that the city is one seamless open-world map. Organization: Federal Bureau of Control World role: Evolving central hub Connected areas: Handcrafted Manhattan Zones Map structure: Zone-based, not a seamless open world
- 37Wiki detailAberrant Forms ComparedSix named early weapon choices divide into Primary and Secondary Forms. They change the speed, reach and target pattern of Dylan's transforming Aberrant rather than representing six separate loot drops. Primary choices shown: Flurry, Slash, Slice Secondary choices shown: Crush, Drill, Extend Additional pool: Combo Enders Weapon: The Aberrant
- 38Wiki detailCombat Abilities ComparedBarrage, Seekers and Shield were presented as choices after an early Resonant encounter; their known functions point to different ways to regain control of a fight.

- 42Wiki detailWorld Quests and FaultsWorld Quests are self-contained narrative stories.

Main narrative: Dylan's Journey Optional narrative: World Quests Other activity: Faults, encounters, challenges and discoveries Named preview route: Metro Fault

- 45Wiki detailSimon ArishArish provides the security and Ranger side of the FBC's history. His original-game assignments should not be confused with a confirmed route through Resonant's Manhattan. Original-game work: FBC Ranger and security officer Original setting: Oldest House Portrayed by: Ronan Summers Resonant information: Returning cast announced; field assignment not established
- 46Wiki detailFrederick LangstonLangston supervised the Panopticon in CONTROL, where the FBC contained dangerous objects. His background explains containment language without implying a new-game item catalog. Original-game job: Panopticon supervisor Expertise: Altered Item containment and rituals Portrayed by: Derek Hagen Resonant information: Returning cast announced; new location not established
- 47Wiki detailFederal Bureau of ControlThe FBC studies and contains paranatural events. To Dylan it is both the organization that confined him and the one sending him into Manhattan's current crisis. Abbreviation: FBC Original headquarters: The Oldest House, New York Director at sequel setup: Jesse Faden, missing Dylan's relationship: Former captive and current crisis responder Manhattan presence: Field office and agents, including Zoe De Vera

- 49Wiki detailPrime Candidate ProgramThe FBC's search for a future Director designated Dylan as P6 and Jesse as P7. These file labels explain older Bureau records, not a new progression tree for Resonant. Organization: Federal Bureau of Control Purpose: Identify potential future Directors Dylan's file label: P6 / Prime Candidate 6 Jesse's file label: P7 / Prime Candidate 7 Scope: Earlier-game background, not a Resonant Talent branch
- 50Wiki detailThe HissThe Hiss drove the crisis inside the Oldest House in CONTROL and is named among the threats in Resonant's Manhattan. Its old enemy list is not a new-game bestiary. First game's role: Hostile interdimensional resonance Original crisis: Hiss invasion of the Oldest House Resonant status: Named as a threat spreading into Manhattan Not equivalent to: Every Resonant boss or the new cosmic entity
- 51Wiki topicBarragePulls rocks from the ground and launches them at range. Xbox Wire saw it offered among three ability choices after an early Resonant Entity fight.
- 52Wiki topicShieldRaises floating rocks defensively and can turn them into an offensive ram during a dash. It appeared alongside Barrage and Seekers in an early boss-reward choice.

- 54Wiki topicMold TurretsDeployable friendly Mold growths independently attack hostile targets and apply status effects while Dylan continues fighting elsewhere.
- 55Wiki topicFalterPressure fills an enemy's Falter state. Normal enemies become eligible for an execution, while bosses enter a staggered damage window. Assist Mode includes a separate Outgoing Falter adjustment.
- 56Wiki topicExecutionExecuting an eligible faltered enemy starts Dominance, feeding the next Aberrant-centered attack sequence with a temporary melee boost and more reliable health drops.
- 57Wiki topicDominanceA short state triggered by an execution. It temporarily increases Dylan's melee damage and makes enemies defeated during the window a dependable source of health.
- 58Wiki topicElemental and status effectsOfficial footage shows abilities with elemental and status-driven effects. Individual names are withheld where the interface has not identified them.
- 59Wiki topicResonant ability choiceMajor Resonants grant unique Combat Ability choices. A later NG+ run can pursue another ability branch from the same boss.

- 66Wiki topicPrimary FormsThe core moveset branch. An official Talent screen gives Primary its own progression tab alongside Secondary and Combo Enders.
- 67Wiki topicSecondary FormsA second Form category used to vary range, speed, and function inside one setup. Preview descriptions include whip-like and hammer options.
- 68Wiki topicCombo EndersPowerful attacks placed at the end of strings. A hands-on preview observed rapid gauntlet strikes and a thrown glaive-like attack.
- 69Wiki topicPrimary branchA dedicated branch for the selected Primary Form and its attack behavior. The official screenshot shows a branching node network rather than a linear upgrade rail.
- 70Wiki topicSecondary branchTalents attached to the Secondary Form role, supporting a second set of reach, speed, or utility choices in the same loadout.
- 71Wiki topicCombo Enders branchA separate progression tab for the powerful attacks that finish connected melee strings.
- 72Wiki topicDodge AttackThe official preview node adds a post-dodge attack that launches enemies and deals extra damage. Exact launch values are not published in the screenshot.
- 73Wiki topicAberrant StrengthAberrant Strength is displayed beside the selected Talent. The screenshot does not establish that the displayed number is its purchase price or final prerequisite.
- 74Wiki topicNew Game+ nodesAdditional Talent nodes become available in New Game Plus alongside broader ability combinations and more dangerous encounters.

- 82Wiki topicWalletWallet is listed as an Untapped Artifact in the Digital Deluxe package. It is an item name, not evidence that the game gives you more money or a larger inventory.
- 83Wiki topicCommunications Department HeadsetThe announcement-era Wiki records this headset as a newsletter signup item. Treat it as an appearance bonus, not a confirmed Combat Ability or an Artifact with passive stats.
- 84Wiki topicOptical Filtering GogglesThese goggles are the other signup item named in the Wiki overview. There is no basis in that listing for assigning them enhanced vision, hidden-object detection or a damage bonus.
- 85Wiki topicService WeaponJesse's changing firearm is associated with the FBC Director and the Board. It helps explain why the Aberrant is compared with it, but the two weapons should not share a build list.

- 92Wiki topicObjects of PowerObjects of Power are a special category associated with the Astral Plane. Many can be bound by people with paranatural aptitude, making their abilities usable. The lore is more nuanced than 'every strange object grants a skill'.
- 93Wiki topicResonanceThe Bureau uses resonance to describe energies and frequencies involved in paranatural effects. Different resonances can affect people and reality differently; the Hiss is not a synonym for every supernatural force.
- 94Wiki topicAltered World EventAn AWE is an intrusion of paranatural forces that changes ordinary reality. Such incidents are central to the Bureau's investigations and can involve altered objects or other phenomena.
- 95Wiki topicParautilitarianA parautilitarian is someone who demonstrates paranatural abilities. Those abilities can have different origins, including personal aptitude or connections with entities and objects. Jesse and Dylan are important examples.
- 96Wiki topicDylan's JourneyThis is Remedy's name for the main campaign. It is a quest category, not the title of one mission or a published chapter-by-chapter list.
- 97Wiki topicWorld QuestsThese are stories outside the main campaign route. Remedy distinguishes them from the broader mix of encounters, environmental challenges and hidden discoveries.
- 98Wiki topicFaultsPublished coverage uses Fault terminology, with Metro Fault as a named example. One showcased Fault does not establish how every Fault works, its duration, or its reward.
