Hunting down collectibles in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 provides players with excellent opportunities to explore the massive, beautifully detailed digital version of New York City. Among the most popular hidden items scattered across the boroughs are the mechanical Spider-Bots, which emit distinct pulsing energy spheres when you get close to them. The Upper West Side district holds exactly three of these unique bots, each referencing different corners of the massive Spider-Man multiverse.
Tracking Down the Secret Wars Mechanical Companion
The first collectible you should look for in this region is the Secret Wars Spider-Bot, located in the northwestern section of the district. To find it, players need to navigate toward the local university campus grounds, which feature open courtyards surrounded by elegant brick structures. The bot is actively crawling along an interior wall that directly faces the campus courtyard area.
Spotting the large pink and green visual pulse against the building facade makes this particular item relatively easy to acquire from the air. Simply glide into the courtyard or wall-run up the structure to grab the device and add it to your overall collection tracker.
Locating the Elusive Dusk Variant in the Southeast
Moving across the map toward the southeastern corner of the Upper West Side will lead players to the next hidden target. The Dusk Spider-Bot is positioned near the lower right point of the district's triangular boundary on the world map. Players should look for a prominent skyscraper characterized by a distinctive blue decorative band running along the top structure.
This mechanical unit clings directly to the rooftop surface of the skyscraper, sitting high above the bustling streets below. Scaled properly, the peak of this building offers a great vantage point for web-slinging into adjacent neighborhoods once you secure the item.
Scaling the Heights for the Classic Spider Girl Bot
The final collectible required to achieve one hundred percent district completion is the Spider-Girl variant, tucked away in the southwestern corner. Players must look along the western coastline edge of the neighborhood where a long public park runs parallel to the main roadway. At the southern terminus of this coastal green space sits a massive glass skyscraper overlooking the water.
To obtain this final piece, climb directly to the highest roof section of this modern glass tower and look down along its western wall. The mechanical device is clinging tightly to the glass paneling facing out toward the open river. Snagging this final bot completes the local set, granting valuable tech components and experience points to upgrade your gear.
