- — Telekinesis website description[1]
Overview[]
Telekinesis grants the ability to lift people, vehicles, and other objects in the air and hurl them great distances. It is the required Super Power needed to unlock Telekinesis Clusters. It is the second offensive Power gained in the game,[2] and plays a primary role in in the Telekinesis Rift, Telekinesis Mayhem, and Prof. Genki's M.O.M. activities, and can disable Warden Shields temporarily when hit by thrown objects.
Once upgraded, Telekinesis also allows Playa to grab both tanks and aircrafts such as the Destructor and the Void.
Telekinesis is unlocked in a mission featuring CID, and additional Elements are unlocked in CID's Side Quests.
