Know what the point improves
Power extends the resource available to spend on abilities. It is not a direct promise of higher ability damage or a Command charge. One container usually supplies a single point; follow the pickup counter through a group of three. These are 21 reported chest routes, not the entire worldwide total of points from every activity.
Keep arcade prizes separate
SHÜM can award Power points through its placement tiers. Use the cabinet and leaderboard guide for the actual target on your installed version. A cabinet’s required zone level unlocks access, while its score placement determines rewards. Published lists disagree on some totals and facility rewards, so inspect each room’s banner rather than treating every large chest as the same item.
When a map icon looks wrong
Check its floor, the active quest and the required door before searching neighboring streets. Zoe’s office and the return laundromat container are story-gated examples. A completed event can also expose a reward in a separate room; open the container after the activity instead of leaving at its completion banner.
