Publish date: 2022-10-05

What a Mess: Talk to the Plants, What a Mess: Clear the Mold and What a Mess: Even more Mold are the last three missions Ahti the Janitor will ask you complete in Control.

Ahti's not a hard task master, however, and once you complete these missions, he'll let you take a break. What a Mess: Take a Break involves doing just that and will reward you with the Janitor's Assistant Uniform. This is one of the outfits Jesse can wear in Control.

Like the previous What a Mess missions, you'll also be rewarded with Ability Points, Material and new Mods - both Personal and Weapon.
