Listen in on the city with these locations for surveillance recordings, the collectible audio logs of Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst. Each recording reveals a snippet of story if you’re into that kind of thing, and more importantly you’ll work towards those 100% completion trophies or achievements.
These are commonly found throughout the city and can be collected while free-roaming or while parkouring through missions. Here you’ll find locations, separated by section, with a list of textual tips to help make grabbing these recordings a breeze.
