Spider-Man 2: Our BEST Tips And Tricks [Top 12]

• Both Peter and Miles will need to complete three Hunter Blinds to track down the main base; each of these Blinds rewards you with a hefty sum of 1000xp and Rare Tech Parts if you decide to do them from the early moments along with the Main Story.
• Lastly, Side Missions also reward you with 800xp along with City Tokens in case you need them.

These crates are scattered around the city and reward you with Rare Tech Parts to normal Tech Parts depending on the Tech Crate’s rarity.

• You can also get the “All Seeing” Suit Tech upgrade to help you spot these crates much more easily when near their location.

They’re mostly found on rooftops of various buildings and even in the Hunter Blind bases. In my experience, I strongly recommend not missing whenever they show up in your vicinity; one trick that I found useful is that your Dualsense will slightly vibrate when near one of them.

In my experience, I combined the water glide with jumping and web-swinging amidst it to boost my speed, so thankfully, you won’t have to tediously suffer by swimming.

They’re found across NYC, visually indicated by long lines of Wind in the air. I found that they’re very useful on the River part of the map when you’re trying to get across the boroughs as quickly as possible without fast travel.

I strongly urge that you use Parry because, as of now, I’m playing Spider-Man 2 on Spectacular Difficulty, where enemies are brutal and aggressive, and parrying is much more viable here due to the damage and skills associated with it, but of course, I will say it is definitely a risk-reward functionality.

There are multiple Slingshot Map Markers throughout the rooftops of NYC, but I recommend getting the Slingshot Launch skill from the Shared Tree so that you can use it from anywhere you wish.

• Spider Rush Tornado: Skill that enhances the AOE Range and capabilities of Peter’s Spider Rush ability.
• Air Swap: A Shared Tree skill that increases your effectiveness in Mid-Air combat to allow you to dodge behind the enemy during combos.
• Venom Dash Double Dash: Allows you to follow up with another Venom Dash attack on an enemy when using Miles.
• Loop De Loop: When Diving during Web-Swinging, you can Hold R2 to do a web-swing, which slightly boosts your travel speed.

However, if you still want my suggestions on the best Suit Techs to get from the early going that I found effective, I’ve listed them below in brief detail:

• Confidence Boost (Health): Allows you to heal via performing Perfect Dodges during combat.
• Air Marshal (Damage): Increases damage dealt to enemies in Mid-Air.
• Focused Strike (Focus): Focus charge gained by using abilities is increased by 10%.
• Triple Focus: (Focus): Adds a third focus bar.
• Acrobat (Traversal): Increases the intensity and power of Point Launch.

The actions that I recommend binding to these shortcuts include either a Gadget you intend to use the most in combat along with an Ability.

• For me, I have assigned shortcuts for the L1 + O ability and the Web Grabber Gadget.
• But you can go with anything that suits your preference or that you want to easily use without pressing two different buttons.

• As shown above, in the image, the Gameplay Assists section is especially useful due to helpful settings such as Auto-Heal, which you can set accordingly to heal you whenever you’re below a given HP threshold in combat.
• It even allows you to adjust the Dodge/Parry timing to make it easier to execute.

You can easily toggle them Off/On at almost any given moment, so I strongly urge you to check them out and tune which one fits your preference or helps you play the game at your own feasibility.

For outfits such as the Noir suit from Into The Spider-Verse movie, you can enable Film effects for it, which slows down its animation in-game to match it with the source material. You can even turn on Comic Book SFX, which displays comical bubble text in combat. Thankfully, if you find this hidden feature annoying, you can easily turn it off in the Visual Settings section of Spider-Man 2.

What makes it the Best Gadgets, in my experience, is how the first upgrade allows you to pull in nearby throwable objects alongside enemies. Not to mention, you can also pull in Brutes and more enemies at later upgrade levels.

Since I had pre-ordered the Digital Deluxe edition, I was able to use the Web Grabber right out of the gate without needing to unlock it for the first time.
