Control contains 20Hidden Locations. Each location gives you one Ability Point, used to buy Ability Upgrades. In order to get the Platinum in Control you need to unlock all Ability Upgrades.
Ability Points are given to you when you complete Main Story or Side Missions. However, the amount given to you by these is not enough. To get all Ability Upgrades and 
Master Parautilitarian you also need to visit the majority of the 20Hidden Locations available in the game. The guide below lists where to find all of these locations.It should be noted that for almost all of them you need to have the Levitate Ability unlocked. Additionally, some of these locations can only be visited after having played through some Main Story or Side Missions and can’t be accessed beforehand. So, play through the Story and the Side Missions first and when you’ve defogged the whole map and have unlocked all Clearance Levels and the Levitate Ability use this list to get what you need. The Hidden Locations are listed by sector.
