Mirror’s Edge Runners Bags are one of the most prized possessions in Mirror’s Edge, mostly because the timed game leaves very little room for error and exploration as you try to evade “The Man.” As a result, exploring Mirror’s Edge looking for the Runners Bags isn’t always an option, which can leave PS3 Trophy hunters out in the cold if they’re looking to secure the Mirror’s Edge Runners Bags Trophy for collecting them all.
With that in mind, and in light of the popularity of our recent guides about how to open the Fable 2 Demon Doors and the Gears of War 2 collectibles locations, we figured we’d save you some work and provide this full guide to the Mirror’s Edge Runners Bag locations.
