A Guide to Unlocking and Crafting Suits in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

How to Unlock and Craft Suits in Spider-Man 2

Unlocking a suit and crafting it are separate steps. Reaching the required level makes most costumes available for purchase, but players must still spend the listed resources to add them to their wardrobe.

To craft a new suit:

1. Open the pause menu and select the Suits tab.
2. Use L2 or R2 to switch between Peter Parker and Miles Morales.
3. Select an available suit from the character’s collection.
4. Check the required crafting materials displayed on the right.
5. Hold X to craft the suit once you have enough resources.
6. Select the crafted suit to equip it, or choose an available Suit Style to change its appearance.

If a suit is unavailable, check whether you need to reach a higher level, complete a mission or finish a particular set of side activities.

Pressing Triangle on the crafting screen opens the Where to Find information, helping players identify activities that provide the missing resources.

Unlike the original Marvel’s Spider-Man, costumes do not provide unique combat abilities or passive bonuses. Their purpose is cosmetic, with character skills and the separate Suit Tech system determining how Peter and Miles perform in combat.

Where to Find Suit Crafting Materials

Four resources are used to craft suits and unlock additional styles.

Different suits require different combinations of these materials, with more advanced costumes generally becoming more expensive.

For players concentrating on collecting suits, district activities offer a reliable route to gathering resources while progressing towards full completion.

I would avoid spending every available token on alternate costume colours early in the campaign. The same materials are needed for combat improvements, so it makes sense to unlock outfits you genuinely want before purchasing every additional style.

If you’re also developing Peter and Miles’ combat abilities, our Suit Tech versus Gadgets upgrade guide explains which improvements are worth prioritising and how the All Seeing upgrade can help locate additional Tech Crates.

All 34 Miles Morales Suits and How to Unlock Them

Miles Morales has 34 suits in the original game, ranging from his default Upgraded Suit to costumes inspired by the Spider-Verse films, Black Panther and other Marvel characters.

Most become available through levelling up. Others are awarded for completing activities such as Mysteriums, Symbiote Nests and the Cultural Museum storyline.

Important: The Smoke and Mirrors Suit does not require Gold medals in every Mysterium. Completing the challenges with at least Bronze results and finishing Grand Finale is sufficient.

All 34 Peter Parker Suits and How to Unlock Them

Peter Parker also has 34 base-game suits, including outfits inspired by the Spider-Man films, comics and previous Insomniac adventures.

Several costumes are connected directly to the main campaign, while others require higher levels or completion of specific side stories.

The Black, Symbiote and Anti-Venom suits are awarded through the main campaign rather than purchased through normal level progression.

How to Unlock the Black Symbiote Suit

Peter Parker receives the Black Suit automatically during Good Men, a main story mission involving Harry Osborn and Kraven’s Hunters.

The suit introduces Peter’s symbiote-powered combat abilities, which become available through his character-specific skill tree.

Symbiote Strike is one of the early abilities, allowing Peter to charge towards enemies, gather them together and launch them into the air.

These powers are separate from the costume itself. Once unlocked, the relevant symbiote abilities do not require Peter to keep the Black Suit equipped.

Additional story-related outfits become available as the campaign progresses.

How Do Suit Styles Work?

Suit Styles are alternate colour schemes that let players customise selected costumes without unlocking an entirely different suit.

After crafting a compatible outfit, players can select its Styles in the Suits menu and spend additional resources to unlock the available colour variations.

Not every outfit supports this feature. Several costumes based directly on the Spider-Man films have fixed appearances, while many original designs offer three additional styles.

The distinction is purely visual: changing a suit’s colour does not improve health, damage, traversal or special abilities.

During the September 2023 suit customisation reveal, Insomniac highlighted more than 200 possible costume looks through the combination of suits and alternate styles.

What Suits Are Included in the Digital Deluxe Edition?

The Digital Deluxe Edition includes 10 additional costumes, with five exclusive designs for each Spider-Man.

These are separate from the 68 base-game suits and do not require players to complete story missions or collect crafting materials.

The official PlayStation game listing also confirms additional Photo Mode items, five Skill Points and early unlock bonuses as part of the Digital Deluxe package.

Players do not need these premium outfits to complete the standard suit collection or earn the Kitted Out trophy.

Do You Need Every Suit Style for the Kitted Out Trophy?

No. The Kitted Out trophy requires players to unlock and obtain all 68 suits included in the base game, not every alternate colour style.

This includes costumes earned automatically through the main story, those purchased after reaching their required levels and those obtained through side activities.

No base-game suits are permanently missable. Players can continue collecting and crafting remaining outfits after finishing the campaign.

Completing the main story, reaching Level 60 and finishing all district activities provides a straightforward route towards obtaining every original suit.

Later Update: Insomniac subsequently expanded the wardrobe through free updates, including new symbiote suit styles and the New Game Plus features introduced in March 2024. These additions allowed players to unlock further cosmetic variations through Ultimate Level progression. Further suits arrived in June 2024 and July 2026, including the Fresh Start costume featured in our Brand New Day suit announcement. The tables above document the original 68 base-game suits rather than every post-launch addition.
