How to eavesdrop in AC Mirage
If you want to eavesdrop in AC Mirage, you just need to be hidden or blend in to start doing it. You can do this by approaching any bench in the game and selecting the button prompt that appears to ‘Blend in’. When you blend in, you will sit down and you can start to eavesdrop.
When you are trying to eavesdrop, you can use Eagle Vision to identify targets to listen in on, but there is a maximum range on this. This means you will need to find spots to hide or benches to sit on that are within range of the conversation you want to listen in on. Lock on to them, and you will begin listening in.
Eavesdropping isn’t confined to benches, you can also do this while being completely hidden using haystacks or other hiding places. It is important to note that you cannot eavesdrop simply by being behind a wall or some other structure, you need to be sitting on a bench or be completely concealed in a designated hiding place.
