Tracking down every Spider-Bot in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is one of the most rewarding side activities available across digital New York City. These miniature mechanical collectibles are scattered throughout various neighborhoods, often hidden high up on building walls or suspended in mid-air. Finding all forty Spider-Bots unlocks exclusive rewards and reveals an intriguing storyline crossover that fans will not want to miss.
How to Spot Spider-Bots Across New York
Unlike standard map objectives, Spider-Bots do not immediately register as map icons until you get very close to their location. Players must rely heavily on visual cues, such as a large pink and purple pulse surrounding the bot's position. Listening closely for a distinct audio ping will also help you pinpoint their exact spots while swinging through the city streets.
Key Neighborhood Locations to Explore
Spider-Bots are distributed evenly across major districts including Greenwich, Astoria, Harlem, and Downtown Brooklyn. Some collectible bots require traversing high rooftops or scaling iconic landmarks, while others hover mid-air along air currents. Keeping an eye out while completing main story missions allows you to naturally collect a majority of them without tedious backtracking.
Essential Upgrades for Easier Collecting
Investing in specific suit tech upgrades significantly reduces the difficulty of locating hidden collectibles throughout the map. Upgrading your traversal tree allows for faster gliding and better aerial control, making high-altitude bots easier to reach. Additionally, unlocking the All-Seeing upgrade under the Traversal tab displays all collectible locations directly on your mini-map.
Unlocking the Ultimate Secret Reward
Once all forty Spider-Bots have been gathered, Ganke sends Peter or Miles to an alleyway location to finish the questline. Resolving the mystery triggers an unexpected cutscene featuring a portal straight out of the Spider-Verse animated universe. Completing this collection quest rewards players with a generous amount of experience points and tech parts to upgrade suit abilities.
