Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 – Best Suit Tech to Upgrade First

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has finally been released, and it is just what the doctor ordered. It’s a fast-paced affair that gets the blood pumping all while looking fantastic as it takes advantage of the power of the PS5.

The game features over 60 suits spread across our Spider-Men, but skills are no longer tied to certain suits, so you can technically stick to your favorite suit for the whole game, but the suits really look fantastic, so you’ll want to use all of them for some style points!

Players will be treated to Suit Tech, a new “tree” that can be advanced with the various medals throughout the game that can be upgraded. Some of these trees are more useful than others, so here’s a nifty guide to find out which suit tech are the best ones to upgrade first in Spider-Man 2!


Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: Best Suit Tech to Upgrade First

Focus: Triple Focus, Healing Focus, Focused Strike

Focus is such a powerful resource in Spider-Man 2. It does two very specific moves: heal and combo finisher. To pull these moves off, you need a fully charged focus bar. Triple focus gives you three bars, leaving you to decide what to use and when at any point in time.

Triple focus is the fifth unlockable item in the Focus Tree, so you will need an ample amount of hero medals to get this far. Unless you value health and damage more, this is a high-priority suit tech to prioritize. When used in conjunction with the best skills in Spider-Man 2 that allow for faster focus regeneration, you can use focus liberally during encounters.

Speaking of healing, take Healing Focus as well to maximize your healing capabilities per focus use! To optimize even further, Focused Strike increases your focus gain every time you use abilities!

Damage: Combo King and Air Marshal

During battles in Spider-Man 2, you’ll spend most of your time mid-air, adding more hits to your combos while avoiding the threats on the ground. Why not take advantage of the suit tech that gives you an advantage while you’re up there?

Combo King will slightly recharge your abilities every 10th hit, and you’ll want to pair this with Air Marshal which will increase your damage mid-air. All of the other suit tech upgrades in the Damage Tree leading up to this will power up your damage stat, so the resources you’ll be spending here will definitely be useful!

Health: Spectacular Health 2 and Ultimate Health 2

Almost equally important as focus is your health bar. It is easy to lose track of your health, so increasing this is almost a no-brainer. Any upgrade you put here will increase your survivability, and you’ll want to aim for two major upgrades – Spectacular Health 2 and Ultimate Health 2.

There’s really no need to explain this, as both upgrades will take you to 150 and 200 health respectively, so if you find yourself in a pinch and Focus isn’t doing it for you, then go for health and just outlast all enemies!
