How to increase health and damage in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
Insomniac GamesYou may be wondering how to increase your health and damage in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2? Well, we have you covered on what you need to do to start taking and dealing out those punches.
In Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, you will be taking a lot of hits as Peter Parker and Miles Morales. There are a plethora of villains and their goons who will try to take you down with their fists if not bullets. Some of those fights can be pretty tough too. To be able to hang with the worst of them, you’re going to want to be improving your health and damage.
While it might be tempting to drop points and resources into ability and gadget upgrades, don’t forget about the Suit upgrades that increase your base stats. Those base stats will really help you, especially as you get into some of the genuinely punishing fights in the back half of the game.
With that in mind, here’s everything you need to know about how to increase your health and damage in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
How to increase your health in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
