Mind Control

Mind Control DLC Required Character Pack Custom Character Point Value: 20 Operating Bar Required?: No Cooldown Time: Yes Charge-Up Required?: No Description Control the movement and actions of NPCs In-Game Tooltip "Shoots a blast of mind-melting energy. Anyone within its radius will begin to mimic your movements. Use a second time to relinquish your grip on these poor NPCs."

Mind Control is a Special Ability in Streets of Rogue used by the Alien. Using this ability causes the player to shoot a small projectile that explodes when it hits an enemy or wall. If at least one NPC is hit both the player and everyone hit will receive the Mind Control status effect.

While the ability is in effect, the player cannot move or attack, but they control the actions of other NPCs with the status effect. The effect will end prematurely if the player activates the ability again, or gets hit or all NPCs under the mind control died.

Special Ability Traits

• Groupies - Bigger radius from Mind Control blast
• Puppet Power - People under Mind Control cause more damage when attacking
• Thick-Skinned Pawn - People under Mind Control take less damage
• Power Walkers - People under Mind Control can walk through many walls and objects

Tips and Strategies

• Mind Controlled NPCs will become Hostile towards the player when the effect ends.
• Neutralize missions can be completed by controlling the mission target and making them kill themselves via traps or by making them purposely lose fights.
• Mind control could be seen as an alternative to Possess. While Mind control is safer and can be used creatively, Possess gives the player more control and the ability to use the current hosts Traits and Special Abilities.
• In Retrieve Item from Person missions and mind controlling the NPC that has the item or if the NPC has a Key or Safe Combination. The Player can ask them while they're under mind control to give the item to the player. Even if you have the Vocally Challenged trait.
• NPCs with Pea-Brained or Electronic are immune to the Mind Control.
