How to unlock the Shifting Positions achievement in Control - Definitive Guide

While on the third mission to find Ahti, Jesse will say aloud something about a strange light in a room. The game will also prompt you that you can do this new mission.

All you need to do is go down the hallway towards the break room & what follows is very straight forward. Within a couple minutes, you will your spiffy new 'evade' ability.

Guide from gamerankx below as the above guide did not mention the name of the exact mission that you need to complete.


To unlock the side-mission ‘A Merry Chase’, go down the hallway opposite the Janitor’s Room in the Janitor’s Office area, near the start of the Maintenance Sector. Go down the hall and you’ll find a break room with a cache inside. Go for the cache, and the floor will crumble — dropping you into an Astral Plane challenge.

Here, you’ll learn about the ‘Evade’ ability. This is completely optional and can be missed. The ‘Evade’ is a quick-dodge, allowing you to avoid explosions, attacks, or close the gap and strike enemies with your melee attack. Evade cannot be upgraded, but it’s also useful for traversing the environment before you unlock the ability to Hover.

Complete the Astral Plane challenge to unlock ‘Evade’ — it’s a very handy ability, and you’ll want to grab it as soon as possible.

When you're heading through Maintenance to meet with Ahti, you'll come to a room with several options to exit and it is aptly marked as the Janitor's Office. Instead of looping around the back to meet with Ahti, you can instead turn left upon entering and you'll see a break room. Inside this break room is the Merry Go Round Pony, an Object of Power that will pull you into the Astral Plane. You'll first want to bind to it, and then you'll unlock the Evade ability. By pressing cn_O, you'll be able to shift dodge in the direction of your choosing (using the left control stick) for a short burst. You can also pair this up with the Levitate ability later on to cover larger distances.

Story-related; unmissable

This one will be obtainable during the "A Merry Chase" side mission in the Janitor's Office area. During the "Directorial Override" main mission, turn left from Ahti's office and into a breakroom. You'll have to cleanse a carousel horse, then you'll enter the Astral Plane for the evade tutorial.

The ability can be obtained during mission 2, or rather the side mission "Merry Pursuit".
When you are sent to the janitor's back room, there will be a room nearby with a flickering red light. You need to go into it. Next, follow the prompts in the task.
