Should you eavesdrop on Aurore and Aymeric in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty?

Should you eavesdrop on Aymeric and Aurore in Phantom Liberty? The Cyberpunk 2077 expansion poses this dilemma to you while you're waiting to take control of their car as they drive to meet Kurt Hansen during the I've Seen That Face Before mission, but listening in on them talk requires delaying the car hack. That's a risk, because if you leave it toio long, you could fail the mission, and Reed (Idris Elba) gets increasingly frustrated with V. However, if you do eavesdrop all the way until the end, you'll get access to a pretty sweet reward. Here's what you need to know about eavesdropping on Aurore and Aymeric in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty.

This mission comes over halfway through Phantom Liberty so be aware of story spoilers below.

Cyberpunk 2077 Aurore and Aymeric eavesdrop choice explained

When Aurore and Aymeric start driving over to Hansen's stadium base, Reed will tell you to take control, but you also have the option to say "Hold on, wanna eavesdrop…".

Eavesdropping once on Aymeric and Aurore's conversation doesn't give you much intel, as they're just chatting generally about Kurt Hansen shooting down President Myers' plane. Reed will get increasingly frustrated with V the longer you eavesdrop, but it's worth it. Every time you have the option to continue eavesdropping, make sure you select it:

1. "Hold on, wanna eavesdrop…"
2. "Chill. Just wait."
3. "Gimme a sec!"

After you tell Reed to give you a second, Aurore will tell Aymeric about a file she has called "Blind_n_Dead" which you'll be able to learn more about shortly. From this point onwards, the twins will stop talking and you can override the car controls like normal.

Drive the car to where Reed and Alex are waiting, fighting back when you lose control of the car briefly. When you get there, Reed and Alex will kill the twins, allowing you to connect to Aurore to copy her identity. You can also search for the aforementioned Blind_n_Dead file when you jack in, which rewards you with a quest called Voodoo Treasure. This leads you to Slider's stash in Cyberpunk 2077.

From here, the twins will obviously be dead, but you can now assume their identity and meet with Kurt Hansen to try and rescue Songbird. This is where one of the biggest decisions in the whole expansion comes into play - should you help Songbird or help Reed in Phantom Liberty?
