Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: 10 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn’t Tell You

2. Tether Web Lines Together To Transform Stealth Encounters

One of the best new gameplay features introduced in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is the web lines. By holding L2 and pressing triangle (so long as you're in stealth and between two solid surfaces), both Spider-Men will be able to create a web rope that enables them to move silently above their targets. This frees the player to get a little more creative with how they approach certain stealth encounters, allowing them to move through the middle of a stealth area as opposed to having to stick to just the corners themselves.

There are multiple ways of getting the most out of these web lines, one of which involves an upgrade that lets Peter and Miles web up to three enemies at once from these perches, but one of the best requires no upgrade at all. When positioned on a web line, players can use the same ability again to tether a new web line to the one they're already balanced atop, essentially letting them create a rudimentary spider's web over their unassuming enemies.

Not only does this tactic make stealth encounters a bit easier, but it's also just really fun to create your own web network and lure enemies in like a less monstrous '90s Man-Spider. (If you know, you know.)

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
