All Control Resonant Outfits and How to Unlock Them

CONTROL Resonant offers far more customization than a few full outfits. Dylan’s individual clothing pieces, hairstyles or accessories can all be changed, and even his overall look can be altered. New outfits, skins, and cosmetic pieces turn up through story missions and Side Stories, as well as Resonants, SHUM challenges, Vendors and Testing Facilities, along with the occasional limited-time promotion. Some rewards are full costumes or outfits, while others only change one part of Dylan’s appearance.

Some are easy to get just by progressing through the game, while others are tied to specific choices and challenges or optional activities that are much easier to miss. There are also a few cosmetics you won’t find anywhere in Manhattan because they’re part of pre-order bonuses, the Digital Deluxe Edition, Twitch Drops and Remedy promotions.

Below, you’ll find every known CONTROL Resonant outfit and cosmetic, along with exactly how and where to unlock each one.

How to Unlock Outfits in Control Resonant

Thankfully, Dylan doesn’t have to spend his entire adventure dressed like he just escaped an FBC holding cell.

Outfit items can come from main missions, side quests, Resonant encounters, SHUM arcade activities and vendors. Some cosmetics are also tied to pre-orders, special editions, Twitch drops and Remedy promotions.

While you’re clearing side content around Downtown, you can also complete the Beach Day Sketchbook puzzle, which has Dylan tracking down a couple of missing items before he can finish the scene.

The most useful outfits to focus on are the ones earned through normal gameplay, since anyone can pick them up without owning a specific edition or having claimed a time-limited promotion.

How to Get Agent Uniform

The Agent Uniform is one of the easiest outfits to get because it’s tied directly to the story.

Complete Evacuation Procedures, the second main mission in the Contain the Crisis questline. Once you finish the mission and get Arish out of the Evacuation Site, the Agent Uniform is included among the rewards alongside a Living Shard and the Level 2 Keycard.

In other words, you can’t really miss this one if you’re progressing normally.

How to Get Prime Candidate Restraint Suit

The Prime Candidate Restraint Suit is another story reward, so you won’t need to go hunting for it in an optional area. Complete Recursions and Iterations and the outfit is added to Dylan’s wardrobe as part of the mission rewards.

How to Unlock Casual Outfit: Resonants

To unlock Casual Outfit: Resonants, you need to defeat all six Resonants scattered around Manhattan. This makes it one of the more time-consuming outfit rewards, since you have to track down and finish every Resonant encounter rather than complete a single quest.

How to Unlock the Casual Outfit After the Main Story

The regular Casual Outfit is tied to main story progression. Finish the main story and it becomes available in Dylan’s wardrobe, so this is another cosmetic you can’t permanently miss if you’re planning to complete the game.

How to Get Aramid Work Clothes

You’ll get the Aramid Work Clothes for completing the Panopticon Service Request side quest.

The quest starts with Langston near the FBC Field Office in Central and sends you into the Field Panopticon to deal with its Altered Items. Finish the whole request and the Aramid Work Clothes are added to your available cosmetics. You also receive the Untapped Feeding Bottle Artifact recipe.

How to Get Sensory Restraint Hood

The Sensory Restraint Hood is a little more interesting because simply finishing its related quest isn’t enough.

During Crossing the Threshold, Dylan needs to believe Wilson and carry AVP-3 himself. Apparently, the Sensory Restraint Hood and Untapped Practice Knot recipe are the rewards for taking this route. Choosing the containment outcome instead gives you neither.

So if this is an outfit you want, pay attention to your decisions instead of clicking through the dialogue like I tend to do when I’m in a hurry.

How to Get Standard Issue Coverall

Complete Maintenance Protocol to unlock the Standard Issue Coverall.

You’ll get access to the mission through Zoe’s Briefing at the Watchtower, after which the investigation takes Dylan into the Underpass. Finish the quest and the Standard Issue Coverall is your outfit reward.

How to Get Plate Carrier M1

The Plate Carrier M1 comes from the Urban Survival side quest in the Evacuation Zone.

You can start the quest by finding the investigation-order file outside the trapped parking lot in the southern part of the zone. Follow the quest through to the end and you’ll receive the Plate Carrier M1 alongside the Untapped Heart Monitor Artifact recipe.

How to Get Varsity Jacket in The Party Won’t Stop

For something a little less FBC-looking, there’s the Varsity Jacket from The Party Won’t Stop.

You’ll come across this side quest around the apartment building in the West Incursion Zone, where a paranormal karaoke party has gone very wrong. Complete the quest and you’ll receive the Varsity Jacket and Untapped Bar Blade.

You do not need a perfect karaoke performance just to get the jacket. Instead, for the Be What You Want to Be trophy, you are required to get every lyric right and save everyone.

How to Get Emergency Hood

The Emergency Hood comes from the Vesey Testing Facility in The Park. Complete the Testing Facility and open the reward chest at the end to add the hood to your available accessories.

How to Get Firebreaker Goggles

The Firebreaker Goggles are another Testing Facility reward. Complete the Dutch Testing Facility and make sure you open the Large Resource Crate in the final area, since that’s where the goggles are obtained.

SHUM Outfit Rewards

SHUM Arcade Cabinets aren’t just there for challenges and leaderboard scores. A few of them also reward Dylan with customization items.

The two clearest outfit rewards are:
Stubble: Earn a leaderboard position in the Parkour SHUM challenge in northeastern Central
Armoured Helmet M1: Earn a leaderboard position in the Survival SHUM challenge in northern West Incursion Zone.

There’s also a customization item called Fit, which is awarded for completing its associated SHUM Arcade Cabinet challenge. The important part is that simply finding a Cabinet isn’t always enough. For Stubble and Armoured Helmet M1, you need to perform well enough to place on the challenge’s leaderboard before the cosmetic is awarded.

Control Resonant Vendor Outfits & Cosmetic Locations

Each major CONTROL Resonant zone has an ice cream truck Vendor, and every Vendor carries its own unique cosmetic item alongside the usual resources and Artifacts.

Here’s what to look for:

Zone	Vendor Cosmetic
Downtown	Reading Glasses
Central	Bureau Cap
West Incursion Zone	Helix and Nostril Piercings
The Park	Hood Down Tactical Rain Jacket
Evacuation Zone	Standard Issue Goggles
Underpass	Middle Part
Unknown	Boxer Braids

Some of these cosmetics may not appear the first time you reach a Vendor. Vendor inventories expand as their level increases, so raise the relevant Zone or Vendor level and check back if the item you want is still locked.

These are also some of the easier cosmetics to pick up if you’re working toward the Form Over Function achievement, since you can buy them instead of completing another Side Story or optional challenge.

Control Resonant Hairstyles, Haircuts & Accessories

Not everything in CONTROL Resonant’s wardrobe is a full outfit. Dylan’s appearance is split into six slots, including Hair, Facial Hair and Accessories, so quite a few rewards only change one part of his look.

For hairstyles, you already get options such as Scruffy and Half Bun early on, while Middle Part can be bought from the Underpass Vendor and Boxer Braids from the Unknown Vendor. The Digital Deluxe AWE Mission Outfit also includes the Crew Cut hairstyle.

Facial Hair has its own slot as well. Dylan starts with basic facial-hair choices, while Stubble is one of the extra cosmetics you can earn through SHUM by placing on the leaderboard for the Parkour challenge in Central.

Accessories have even more unlock methods. Reading Glasses, Bureau Cap, Standard Issue Goggles, and Helix and Nostril Piercings come from Vendors, while the Emergency Hood and Firebreaker Goggles are hidden behind Testing Facilities. You can also get the Communications Department Headset and Optical Filtering Goggles through Remedy’s newsletter promotion.

This is worth keeping in mind if you’re trying to collect “all outfits.” The game treats full clothing sets and smaller customization pieces as part of the same general wardrobe system.

Control Resonant Body and Face Customization

Regular Body and Face is available as soon as Dylan gains access to the Wardrobe. Corrupted Body and Face is also unlocked from the start, so you don’t need to complete any quests to get either option. Fit, however, is an additional customization reward that you can unlock by completing its associated SHUM Arcade Cabinet challenge.

Control Resonant Starting Outfits & Wardrobe Items

You don’t begin with an empty closet. Once you gain access to the Wardrobe around Welcome to Manhattan, Dylan already has several basic customization options available, so not every item you see in the menu needs to be found somewhere in the world.

The standard wardrobe includes options such as Bureau Rain Gear, Surplus Sensor Platform Suit, Exposed, Scruffy, Half Bun, Full Facial Hair, Medium Facial Hair, Regular Body and Face, and the Corrupted Body and Face.

There is one important distinction if you own the Digital Deluxe Edition. The AWE Mission Outfit adds three more pieces: Circulation Vest, Diagnostic Suit, and Crew Cut. Those are Deluxe cosmetics rather than normal world unlocks.

So don’t spend an hour searching Manhattan for something that’s already sitting in your Wardrobe. Some of Dylan’s customization options are simply available from the start of the system, while the rest come from missions, Vendors, SHUM, Testing Facilities and promotions.

Control Resonant Pre-Order, Deluxe & Bonus Outfits

Not every CONTROL Resonant outfit comes from exploring Manhattan. There are also several cosmetics attached to special editions and launch promotions.

How to Get Hiss Corruption Outfit

The Hiss Corruption Outfit is a pre-order bonus for Dylan.

Remedy’s official Steam FAQ lists both the Hiss Corruption Outfit and Pickpocket’s Tool Artifact as pre-order rewards. PlayStation’s store page also lists the outfit among its pre-order content.

How to Get the Control Resonant AWE Mission Outfit

Despite the name, you don’t unlock the AWE Mission Outfit by completing an AWE mission. It’s bonus content included with the CONTROL Resonant Digital Deluxe Edition and the Digital Deluxe Upgrade. The official listing confirms that the AWE Mission Outfit is actually a three-piece cosmetic set: Circulation Vest, Crew Cut, Diagnostic Suit.

The Diagnostic Suit is described as a prototype suit made for Rangers, while the Crew Cut gives Dylan another hairstyle option rather than another clothing layer. Once the Deluxe content is available in your game, you can equip the individual AWE Mission pieces through a Wardrobe like Dylan’s other customization items.

So if you’ve been searching Manhattan for an AWE-related quest or chest, there isn’t one. This particular set comes from the Deluxe content rather than normal gameplay.

Control Resonant Occult Outfit: How to Get the Threshold Set

PlayStation pre-orders include the Occult Outfit, but the individual pieces aren’t named on Sony’s store page. Game entitlement data ties three matching cosmetics to the PS5 pre-order bonus: the Threshold Bureau Coat, Threshold Bureau Workwear and Threshold Bureau Gas Mask.

These fill Dylan’s Top Layer, Base Layer, and Accessory slots, respectively and are the pieces players commonly refer to as the Threshold Outfit. They make up the PlayStation-exclusive Occult Outfit, although Sony doesn’t officially break the outfit down into its individual pieces.

The standard PC pre-order bonuses only list the Hiss Corruption Outfit, so you shouldn’t expect to find the Threshold Bureau set through a mission, Vendor or normal wardrobe progression.

How to Get Sierra Outfit, Suit, Vest & Helmet

The Sierra Outfit is split into three pieces and comes from CONTROL Resonant’s launch Twitch Drops campaign.

Watch eligible CONTROL Resonant streams for one hour to unlock the Sierra Suit, two total hours for Sierra Vest, and four total hours for the Sierra Helmet. The current campaign runs from September 22 to October 13, 2026.

How to Get MIO Specialist’s Robe

The MIO Specialist’s Robe isn’t tied to a mission, Vendor, or challenge. Instead, open Options → Gameplay → Enter Redeem Code and use the code EV172-LN211-PL279 to add the robe to Dylan’s wardrobe.

How to Get Newsletter Cosmetics

Remedy is also offering two cosmetics for signing up for the official CONTROL Resonant newsletter, which are the Communication Department Headset and Optical Filtering Goggles.

These are individual customization items rather than complete outfits, but they’re worth grabbing if you’re trying to fill out Dylan’s wardrobe. Remedy has directly advertised both as newsletter rewards.

How to Change Outfits in Control Resonant

To change Dylan’s appearance, find and interact with a wardrobe. These show up on the map with a jacket icon, inside places like the Oldest House in Downtown and the Evac Building in the Evacuation Zone.

While you’re back around the Oldest House, you can also track down Ahti in Control Resonant, whose encounter with Dylan is easy to miss if you’re only following the main objectives.

Once you’re at a wardrobe, Dylan’s appearance is divided into six customization slots: Top Layer, Hair, Base Layer, Facial Hair, Accessories, and Body and Face. Select a slot and equip any cosmetic you’ve unlocked for it.

This is why the game’s terminology can get a little confusing. Some rewards are complete named outfits, while others are individual pieces that fill one of those six slots.

Form Over Function and Out of Uniform Achievements

Two CONTROL Resonant achievements are directly tied to the outfit system, but neither requires you to collect every cosmetic in the game. Form Over Function unlocks after you obtain 12 outfit items. There are far more than 12 available between story rewards, Side Stories, Vendors, Testing Facilities and SHUM, so you don’t need any particular set of twelve.

If you’re trying to get it quickly, the story and Side Story rewards are a good starting point. You can then fill any gaps with Vendor cosmetics such as Reading Glasses and Bureau Cap or optional rewards like the Emergency Hood and Stubble. Out of Uniform works differently. For this one, you need to equip an outfit item in every customization slot. Dylan has six slots: Top Layer, Body and Face, Hair, Base Layer, Facial Hair, Accessories.

Once you have something equipped in all six at the same time, the achievement should unlock. This also makes it a useful check that you’ve actually experimented with the full Wardrobe rather than just swapping between complete-looking outfits.
