Getting into the Control Room during Part 6 stalls a lot of players because the room starts with no power and a locked entrance. The path forward is a short loop through the SWDP – Different: switch on a generator, ride an elevator up, grab two key items, and finally use a card reader on the shutter door. Monsters roam the whole area, so knowing exactly where to go keeps you from wandering into them.

Quick answer: Turn on the generator downstairs, take the elevator to Level 1 to collect the JOE Key and Access Card, then scan the card at the locked shutter door near the Clamps to enter the Control Room.

Turn on the power in the generator room

After entering the SWDP – Different, take the stairs on your right down to the lower floor. Head along the hallway and turn left into the small generator room.
Interact with the red handle to start the generator. This restores power to the elevator and the rest of the level.

Flipping the generator spawns the large, unkillable monster, so you need to get back upstairs without dying. The Flare Gun stuns it, which is enough to slip past if it catches up to you.

Collect the JOE Key and Access Card on Level 1

With power back on, return up the stairs and go left to reach the elevator. Call it and ride up to Level 1. This floor holds a few smaller monsters but not the large one.
Move to the back-right of the room and go through the door there. Inside, a table holds the JOE Key.
Unlock the JOE Room from the room’s southwest side, then slip through the opening. The Access Card is inside this newly opened room.

You will spot an AUX Door in this area, but ignore it for now. It opens later as part of the main objective.

Once you have both items, return to the elevator.

Open the Control Room with the Access Card

Use the stairs beside the Clamps, then continue to the locked shutter door. Since the power is back on, the card reader now works.
Use the Access Card on the reader to open the shutter and step inside.

A successful result triggers a cutscene; afterward, you are confined to the Control Room and Relive the events on CCTV becomes the next objective. This objective ends this segment and begins the next.
