Spider-Man PS4: 7 Combat Tips To Help You Dominate Each Encounter

Now hopefully this doesn't sound too obvious to mention, but due to the lack of a loadout/class save system, it's all too easy to breeze through the game without ever changing your suit power or suit mods.

This is fine if you just want to power through the story, but if you want to beat Spider-Man's many, many combat side-missons, you're going to want to start tailoring your build to match each type of encounter.

For fights against groups of basic enemies, stand still to lure them close and then use Web Blossom to instantly take most of them out. For mods, use Full Charge Capacitors and Webbed Striker (increase damage when health is over 100, and web attacks generate more focus) to finish the rest off super quickly.

For fights against lots of gun-toting foes who like to keep their distance (flying Sable soldiers, for example), switch to defensive mods like those that reduce bullet damage, and use the Battle Focus suit power to provide extra health (this power is also great for boss fights where generating Focus is tough).

For pure stealth encounters, this mod setup is a must: Silent Step, Bio Scanner, and Scavenger. This way, you can refill gadgets with Web Strike Takedowns, track enemies for longer, and make it easier to stay in stealth mode.

The point is, be sure to carefully choose what you take into battle. If you're struggling, try switching things up to address the problem you're having. There's no point having stealth mods in a combat arena, or gadget refill mods against a boss, for example.
