The loading screens in Mirror’s Edge Catalyst are full of throwaway jokes, but one really caught my eye while playing last night. “If you see a rat the size of a car, you’re playing the wrong game.” Wait, what?
Intrigued, I dropped the phrase “Mirror’s Edge rat” into YouTube, in the hopes of learning…well, anything. It didn’t take long for a bunch of videos to crop up, showing off a strange Mirror’s Edge easter egg I’d missed.

In chapter eight, when you have to a sniper rile, shoot the truck’s engine from the convoy, causing it to spin out of control
Above the convoy is an ad with circles—shoot the middle circle
Be patient
If things work out correctly, here’s what you’ll see:
