There are manyScience Weapons inThe Outer Worlds, with various effects. However, the Mind Control Ray is unique because it can completely change the way that enemies behave and alter the course of combat with more than just damage.
The Mind Control Ray does damage enemies, but it also causes them to become allies for a brief time, ignoring the player to attack other enemies– even their former friends. Not only is this a good thing to have in the tool belt, but it is also just plain fun. The ability to get up toshenanigans is one of the strengths ofThe Outer Worlds,and the Mind Control Ray allows some hijinks indeed.
Go to Monarch
Unfortunately, this fun weapon is located in a very dangerous location: Monarch. In order to get there, the player must first get their ship up and running. Once the Unreliable is powered up, the player can go upstairs to the Captain’s Quarters and read the terminal entries. One of these entries will have information on the gun. Then, the player can head to the terminal next to ADA and navigate the Unreliable to Monarch.
It may be wise to level up, learn somegood pro-tips forOuter Worlds, and then go after the Mind Control Ray because Monarch can be so tough. However, the Mind Control Ray may be worth some sneaking around and running from powerful enemies.
Navigate the Factory
Once on Monarch, players will need to find a merchant named Duncan located in Fallbrook. Duncan will sell the player a datapad that is required for the quest to get the Mind Control Ray. With the datapad in hand, the player can follow the quest marker to a factory in Cascadia. The player will then need to navigate to the last room of the factory. There will be a doorway near the exit that opens up into an elevator shaft. Jumping across the elevator shaft will allow the player to reach a ladder. At the top of the ladder, the player can jump back across in order to find the Mind Control Ray Gun.
The Outer Worldsis available now for PC, Xbox One, and PS4, with a Switch version forthcoming.
