How to Get All Trophies/Achievements in Control

Control has a wide range of achievements/trophies for players to collect. Some will come by naturally progressing through the game’s main story. This includes completing the main story missions, obtaining certain powers, and players getting their service weapon. Other achievements/trophies will require more effort.

Players should start on Alerts and Countermeasures early so that they do not turn into a large grind. Players will also want to mark where all the game’s hidden locations are so that they do not need to traverse the entirety of the map after completing the game. For anyone asking, “Do accessibility features block achievements/trophies?” take comfort in knowing they do not.
