World Feat Updated Oct 22, 2026
Quick answer
CONTROL Resonant FBC terminal searches refer to interactive desktop computers scattered across Manhattan that trigger an optional World Feat quiz sequence. A mysterious voice over the speaker quizzes Dylan Faden on FBC protocols and recent events. For the Downtown terminal, the lore-accurate story answers are Yes → Yes → No (1: Lockdown caused by the Hiss? Yes. 2: Director Jesse Faden still alive? Yes. 3: Was there an FBC coup? No). Answering all three prompts finishes the terminal and grants ~200 Source, an Echo, and Aberrant Slivers. Choosing alternate answers still completes the World Feat—only walking away mid-quiz forfeits the clear.
What are FBC terminals?
FBC terminals are standalone, green-screen computer terminals left behind by Federal Bureau of Control field teams during the evacuation of New York City. Interacting with a active terminal displays the prompt "FBC TERMINAL — Activate". Once activated, the terminal locks the camera into a close-up dialogue view while an automated FBC security line asks Dylan three sequential multiple-choice questions.
Unlike standard FBC Tasks (which are bulletin board bounties requiring enemy kills), FBC Terminals are quick environmental narrative puzzles categorized as World Feats. They offer easy early-game resources with zero risk of combat failure.
All early FBC terminal locations
You can discover FBC terminals early in the campaign across several key Manhattan districts:
- Downtown Checkpoint Terminal — Located in a small glass security office off the metro concourse near the main Downtown checkpoint. This is typically the first terminal players encounter during Welcome to Manhattan.
- Evacuation Center Receptionist Terminal — Positioned behind the front reception desk inside the Central Evacuation Building lobby. Accessible during or immediately after Evacuation Procedures.
- West Incursion Security Hub Terminal — Found inside the damaged FBC barricade trailer overlooking the main crater access point.
- The Park Outpost Terminal — Restored inside the FBC staging tent near the entrance to The Park.
FBC terminal answers breakdown (Downtown example)
When interacting with the Downtown terminal, the computer runs through three verification questions regarding the Oldest House lockdown and FBC leadership:
- Question 1: “Is the ongoing building-wide quarantine and external containment breach attributed to invasion by the Hiss resonance?”
Correct Answer: Yes - Question 2: “Does Bureau record confirm that Director Jesse Faden remains active as executive head of the Federal Bureau of Control?”
Correct Answer: Yes - Question 3: “Was the internal structural collapse caused by an authorized internal FBC military coup?”
Correct Answer: No
Do choice selection or wrong answers matter?
No. Remedy designed the terminal quiz mechanics to be extremely forgiving. Choosing an incorrect answer (such as answering “Yes” to an FBC coup) causes the system to log a minor discrepancy warning on screen, but the terminal continues to the next question. As long as you submit three answers and complete the dialogue script, the terminal completes successfully and grants full rewards. The only way to fail is to exit the terminal dialogue early without submitting all three prompts.
FBC terminal rewards & loot
Upon submitting the final answer, the terminal prints a diagnostic completion code and disperses loot directly into Dylan’s inventory:
- ~200 Source — Core currency used at The Gap for talent node unlocks, weapon form upgrades, and artifact crafting.
- Echo Material — Grants a localized Echo item (such as a Quiet Echo or Guest Echo) needed for upgrading paranatural abilities.
- Aberrant Slivers — Upgraded crafting material used to enhance Aberrant form capabilities. Learn how Aberrant scaling works in our Aberrant forms guide.
- World Feat District Progress — Increments district completion percentage for the active zone Map Kit. Learn how to scan sensor towers at Map Kits guide.
FBC Terminals vs FBC Tasks vs World Quests
It is easy to confuse terminal quizzes with other side activities in CONTROL Resonant. Here is how to distinguish them:

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Do FBC terminal choices affect the ending of CONTROL Resonant?
No. Terminal choices have zero impact on the main narrative, character relationships, or story endings. They exist solely as lore flavor and resource payout points. Read spoiler-free story details in the beginner guide.
Can I replay an FBC terminal after completing it?
No. Once an FBC terminal is completed, its screen turns into a static green status display reading “WORLD FEAT COMPLETE”. The rewards are awarded once per terminal location.
Are FBC terminals required for 100% campaign completion?
Yes. Completing all FBC terminals contributes toward 100% district exploration stats on your map menu, which is required for maximum zone mastery rewards added in Patch 1.4.0. Check overall progression tips at point of no return checklist.
What if I exited the terminal before finishing all 3 questions?
If you walked away or were interrupted by nearby enemies, simply re-interact with the terminal desktop. The prompt sequence will restart from question one without penalty.
