Here’s a list of the best suit upgrades that help the player dominate in combat as the Spider-Men.
Insomniac Games has finally released the highly anticipated sequel to the Spider-Man series, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 for PS4. After the cherished end of Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the devs are back with an entirely new game with twice the action, story, map-size, and even twice the Spider-Men. With newer mechanics and features added to the game, alongside brand new fan-favorite villains, the game is looking filled to the brim with content. Not to mention the fact that the game features both Peter Parker and Miles Morales as playable characters. Players can swap and play as either of them seamlessly throughout the story. Overall based on the initial reaction from fans, the game is looking to another hit by Insomniac.
Another key feature of the game is the brand-new suit upgrades and abilities that affect movement, combat, and stealth. Each upgrade adds another level to the way the game is played. With an abundance of abilities, it is safe to say there’s something for everyone. Despite the quantity, some of these upgrades seem to be more effective than others overall.
We have compiled a list of some of the best Suit Tech Upgrades you should get in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 to help you get an edge in the game.
Perfect Sight
This upgrade is perfect for players who have some trouble avoiding critical damage. Usually, players will be given indicators whenever a hit from an enemy will cause damage or fatal damage. Then the player must react fast to dodge that attack. Unable to do so will cause a great deal of damage and bring you very close to dying.

Having the Perfect Sight upgrade will allow you to have a better chance of dodging those attacks. Whenever a highly critical attack is about to hit the player, time will slow down and give the player more time to react to the attack. So dodging those sorts of hits becomes much easier This allows you to be more effective in combat and fighting large groups of enemies.
Focused Parry
The Focus Meter is an important part of Spider-Man 2 in numerous ways. It allows players to use Finishers, which are moves that down an enemy in one move regardless of how much health they have left. It also allows players to refill their health. So its importance and value can be seen quite easily. Not to mention that without any sort of upgrades, there is only one Focus Bar.

So it is important to keep refilling that bar as quickly as possible. One such way of doing so is using the Focused Parry ability. A Parry is a move that allows players to counter very strong or unblockable hits from enemies. It is an important aspect of combat in the game that a player should be somewhat good at to excel in fights. With the Focused Parry ability, a player is given Focus Energy to fill up their Focus Bar whenever they parry any enemy attacks. This gives them long-term benefits throughout a fight.
Webbed Focus
Another way to get some Focus Energy is through the Webbed Focus Upgrade. It is already established how important the Focus Bar is in numerous aspects of the game. So there are more ways of increasing the bar through abilities and moves.

One such ability is the Webbeb Focus. One of the moves that the Spider-Men have, to incapacitate enemies, is by webbing them up in a cocoon. This move allows players to easily wrap up an enemy without having to fight it. It also allows the player to maintain some distance between them and the enemy. If there is enough Web Fluid, an enemy can be wrapped and taken out in a few seconds. This upgrade gives the player Focus Energy for doing exactly that. Making fights a lot more favorable and easier.
The Best Defense
An issue that many players may face during big fights with a lot of enemies, they get overwhelmed and lose a ton of health. They use up all their abilities and upgrades but come out with very low health and a still large number of enemies swarming them.

In situations like this, The Best Defense upgrade can come in handy. This allows players to get some health refills after landing a ten-hit combo. If the player lands ten hits without getting hit themselves they are given a small health boost. Achieving such a combo should not be that hard, especially in large groups of enemies. This pairs well with a focus-generating upgrade as long fights will be more effortless.
Combo King
Another upgrade that helps players through hitting combos is the Combo King. With fast and fluid movement, players can easily achieve high-hit combos without much of a struggle. Throw some of the upgrades and mods into the mix, then the whole thing becomes that much easier. For beginner players ten hits may seem unachievable, but with some time it becomes very easy to do.

So with this upgrade players receive a slight recharge of their abilities every time they hit a ten-hit combo. This will allow players to use their abilities faster, which further provides a better chance to hit higher combos. Overall with high-damage mods, this upgrade can make fights very fun and less of a challenge.
Confidence Boost
This is an upgrade that emphasizes dodging attacks from enemies. As dodging is a vital part of combat in the game that allows players to avoid getting hit, especially by ranged enemies, this is something players will be doing a lot.
