With two playable characters in Spider-Man 2, there are a bunch of new skills for you to earn as you play through the game. Below, you’ll find all of the unlockable skills in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
All Unlockable Skills in Spider-Man 2
There are three different skill trees in Spider-Man 2. There is one for Peter Parker, Miles Morales, and a joint skill tree that affects both characters. Let’s break down each one.
You can easily unlock all skills in the game in a single playthrough, so don’t worry too much about conserving your skill points.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Peter Parker’s Skill Tree
Here are all of the unlockable skills in Peter Parker’s skill tree:
