Spider-Men may be amazing fighters, but that doesn’t mean you can’t improve them further. Along with abilities and passive skills, you can get further upgrades from your Suit Tech, which offers passive changes to your characters, but they can still be pretty helpful for the challenges inSpider-Man 2- and both Peter and Miles will get them.
So, we recommend holding your urge for new suits just a little so you can use your tech parts for these upgrades. From offense to defense and traversal, Kraven won’t even know what hit him by the time you’re done boosting your Spideys' suits.
Updated May 12, 2025:We’ve added a video version of this guide to help unlock the best tech upgrades for your favorite Spider-men.
8All Seeing
Though you need quite a few upgrades to get here, this one will help you get everything else faster — or help you unlock suits after you’re done here. As mentioned, you need tech parts to unlock both these upgrades and suit unlocks, and some of them will also ask for rare tech parts. Luckily for you, there are random tech crates throughout the city that help you get more parts.
Even luckier for you, All Seeing allows you to see these crates' locations on the mini-map, making gathering material a lot quicker. You’ll also be able to seeSpider-Botson the mini-map, which is also helpful.
7Triple Focus
This game’s difficulty is higher compared to the previous games, meaning that the Focus Bars are more useful than ever, granting the ability to finish off enemies or to heal yourself in dire situations — it’s up to you to know which option will be better at the moment. If deciding at the moment is too stressful, fear not; you’re able to get more Focus Bars.
You’ll start with one, but you can get a second and eventually a third Focus Bar as you level up your focus-related suit tech. This means you’ll be able to use a lot more finishers and still save some focus for emergency healing, and three Focus Bars are as good as it gets here.
6Healing Focus
Speaking of the defensive side a bit more, if you progress further in the focus upgrades, you’ll reach Healing Focus, which increases the amount of healing a Focus Bar will give you. That’s all.
Though this upgrade is nothing more than a healing boost, said boost can be a game-changer, especially when playing on Ultimate difficulty. Combine that with the three Focus Bars, and taking you down will be pretty hard.
If you have Miles' Mega Venom Blast: Self-Care from his skill tree, you’ll get all these Focus Bars filled when using your special blast attack.
5Rejuvenating Parry
A new mechanic in Spider-Man 2 isthe ability to parryyour opponents' attacks instead of dodging them — in fact, some attacks have to be parried (though some have to be dodged). It’s a fun mechanic to use, and once you get the hang of the timing, it becomes an essential tool in your fighting kit.
With Rejuvenating Parry, you get another way to heal yourself without relying on focus. you’re able to recover your health by staying on the defensive and saving your focus to finish enemies annoying you instead.
4Life Link
The best gadget this game has to offer is, by far, the web shooters, capable of trapping or quickly incapacitating opponents, depending on your timing. Safe to say,to be the most efficient spideryou can possibly be, you’ll use your Web Shooters constantly. So let’s make them better.
Life Link will heal you each time you use your shooters. It’s a very low healing, but it happens on each web shot, and you’ll always have to shoot someone multiple times anyway for them to be useful. Thus, simply by fighting your opponents, you’ll heal yourself quite well — perfect for when you take some damage, but not enough to waste a Focus Bar.
3Air Marshal
Another crucial way to fight crime is being airborne. Enemies are pretty harmless when not touching the ground, and if there are no enemies with ranged weapons nearby, the others can’t do much while you’re flying away with an enemy and beating them in the air.
Air Marshal will enhance your butt-kicking abilities by increasing the damage you cause when in the air, allowing you to dispatch whoever you punched upwards quicker so you can start focusing on your next victim.
2The Floor Is Lava
Take everything said in the previous entry, but make it deadlier - or as deadly as Spider-Man is. If you remain in the air beating someone, your damage will temporarily increase, going as high as 50 percent extra damage, which will dissipate when you touch the ground.
By using tricks such as yanking opponents or doing air kicks, you may go from one enemy to the other without having to land, meaning you can keep this damage increase going for a long time, as long as you are careful not to hit the floor, allowing you to take multiple enemies down even quicker, making Air Marshal and The Floor Is Lava a beautiful combo.
1Health, Damage, And Traversal Passives
Lastly, you’ll get basic upgrades in between these choices, between health increases, damage increases, and more speed when web swinging or gliding. They’re all useful, and you’ll have more than enough tech to get all of them — along with every suit tech upgrade — so it’s more a matter of which ones you should prioritize.
We’d recommend you prioritize health, as traversal won’t help you in combat, and you can rely on your abilities to deal high amounts of damage quickly. The damage would be the second priority we recommend, followed by traversal.
