Different Uses for Kinesis

Best Ways to Utilize Kinesis
Removing Obstacles Moving Forward and Completing Objectives Picking Up Distant Items Launching Environmental Hazards

Removing Obstacles

You can use Kinesis to remove or move away obstacles to clear a path toward your next objective. We recommend relocating these obstacles in such a way that they don't block your way when backtracking.

Moving Forward and Completing Objectives

Some mission objectives and getting through certain parts of the Ishimura will require you to move objects into place, such as batteries and manual release levers. These are often marked with a magnet symbol, indicating that you can use Kinesis to interact with them.

Picking Up Distant Items

Kinesis is also handy for picking up distant items that you can't reach on foot. Whenever you spot a faraway loot crate or Valuable, you should always try to pick it up and bring it toward you with Kinesis.

Launching Environmental Hazards

You can also use Kinesis during combat by picking up and launching hazardous objects, such as heavy furniture, explosive canisters, sharp objects, and Stasis tanks, to damage and slow down Necromorphs while conserving ammo.
