Spider Man PS4 Tips

If you've just starting playing Marvel's Spider-Man and want to give yourself the best chance of success, or have been playing for a while and are struggling, we've put together some tips. If you're after more targeted help, look at our various guides we've listed above, but this selection of pointers should give you a broad set of advice to work with.

  • If you’re finding combat a little difficult, remember that you can change the difficulty at any time. Just head into the settings menu, then game, then select the difficulty you’d like to adjust to.
  • Don’t be afraid to make use of the aim and web-to option. Just hold down L2, and aim where you’d like to web to. Hit R2 and you’ll land there. This can be a great way to reorient yourself in a pinch, and to move around an area stealthily.
  • Use your gadgets. You might be tempted to default to punching and dodging in combat, but you shouldn’t underestimate your gadgets. The we-bomb and spider-drone are particularly useful.
  • When fighting on rooftops, use a concussion blast or web throw to knock enemies off of the building.
  • The Web Blossom Suit Ability is seriously effective, instantly rendering around 80 percent of the enemies in the area completely incapacitated.
  • Remember to do the side activities as you play. This will give you enough tokens to unlock new Suit Powers and gadgets, which will be extremely valuable later on in the game.
  • You can assign any Suit Power to any Suit, so you won’t need to run around in a suit you don’t like in order to use a certain move
  • Make the most of your Suit Mods, swap them out for each situation, and remember which ones help your play-style the most. A good all-round build is Gel Padding, Ballistic Inserts, and Stormbolt Discharger
  • Prioritize dodging above all else, if a target line goes red, then dodge, do not take on another attack or try to zip across the area, you will get hit.
  • While they can be a little tedious, the science mini-games found in the lab can be a great way to farm tokens, which you can spend on upgrading your gadgets.
  • Stay in the air during combat, as much as you can
  • Make use of every throwable item in the area, they’re great for taking down brutes
  • Take time to swing around the city, being good at traversal is key later on in the game
  • When playing as MJ, use lures whenever you can, and watch out for broken glass
