Spidey fans are surely neck deep in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 right now. It is a complex game with many mechanics and features for players to explore. While some features are rather straightforward, there are some that need knowledge to improve gameplay. From improved web-swinging mechanics to side missions, it can be a lot for players just starting off with the game.

The game comes with a plethora of features and upgrades to make the game easier with progression. As it might get difficult to navigate and understand which abilities and features to upgrade, here is a comprehensive guide to help players have the best experience with the game.

Top 10 tips for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

• Swing Assist Setting: In Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, players have the option to adjust their level of swing assist in the game. The default setting is configured to 10, making swinging through New York City a breeze. However, players seeking a more challenging experience can reduce this setting to 0. This makes the game replicate the swinging controls from the 2004 Spider-Man 2 game. Disabling swing assist makes players exercise more precision in controlling their swings. This gives players a less floaty and more physics-based feel to the mechanic.
• Unlocking Skills: While Spider-Man 2 boasts a range of valuable skills, some are far better than others. Notably, the web throw skill within the shared skill tree enables players to swing while webbing up enemies and causing splash damage. Quick combo resupply, despite its slightly misleading description, proves highly advantageous, especially for those who use gadgets frequently. The wall thrash skill takes longer to unlock but is vital for effectively dealing with boss fights.
• Perching on Ledges: In Spider-Man 2, players can switch to a perch by pressing L3 when near the side of a building. This feature helps with perch takedowns, walking along ledges without the risk of falling, and enhancing overall mobility.

• Web Zipping: Players can perform web zips to any surface or ceiling by aiming with L2 and pressing R2, without being confined to the preset markers on walls. This capability can be used for executing silent takedowns on enemies and navigating the city efficiently. Additionally, players can hang from a web on a ceiling by zipping onto it and pressing L2, bringing back a chance to recreate one of Spider-man’s most iconic scenes.
• Side Activities: Spider-Man 2 offers more engaging and rewarding side activities compared to the previous game. Completing these activities accelerates player progress and unlocks better rewards, including suit upgrades, new skills, and gadget enhancements. Neglecting these side activities can leave players underpowered, especially in the challenging final stages of the game.
• Unlocking Three Focus Bars: Prioritizing the upgrade of focus bars in the suit tech menu is the key. Three focus bars allow players to utilize two bars for takedowns on formidable foes while preserving one for healing. This additional healing capacity proves particularly crucial during demanding boss battles.
• Mysterium Over Taskmaster Challenges: Mysterium challenges in Spider-Man 2 are more enjoyable, and less monotonous compared to Taskmaster challenges. Successfully completing all Mysterium challenges unlocks gratifying rewards.

• Prowler Stashes: Prowler Stashes grants access to a potent upgrade for Miles in Spider-Man 2. This enhancement enables Miles to inflict additional damage when launching attacks from invisibility. While this must sound like a small power-up, it does play into the game really well.
• Web-Shooters: The web shooters, often underestimated, can be remarkably effective in diverse scenarios, including combat. They prove particularly valuable when confronting hordes of enemies and can be used to immobilize foes by webbing them to walls or the ground.
• Loss of Access: Around Mission 21, players will experience a temporary loss of certain powers and characters in Spider-Man 2. Monitoring the mission screen within the menu allows players to track progress and anticipate these alterations. Although these changes are explained in the game’s storyline, staying informed about Mission 21 can help players plan accordingly and avoid unexpected surprises.
