Spider-Man PS4 game has a ton of choices when it comes to which costume Peter Parker is going to wear out on the streets. These suits don’t just look good, though: most of them give you temporary special powers that you can trigger by pressing R3 and L3 simultaneously to give you an advantage over the hordes of goons you’ll face. Even better: the powers aren’t locked to the suit they come with, so you can mix and match suits and powers to find your perfect outfit.
But first you’ll have to collect enough resource tokens to craft each outfit, which are linked to in-game tasks and come in six types: backpack, research, landmark, crime, challenge, and base. Plus you’ll have to reach the required story milestone or level cap to unlock the suit in your inventory. To save you some time, here’s how to get every single one of Spider-Man’s suits along with the power they come with.

Requires: 1 x landmark, 2 x research tokens
Power: Bullet Proof - Makes you temporarily bullet proof, even to snipers. Very handy for when you’re overwhelmed by ranged foes.

Power: Arms Race - Lets out a blast that stuns enemies and disables weapons - again, exceedingly useful when you find yourself overwhelmed. Not in life, just...in the game.
Comes from: Interestingly, the first mention of the Secret War suit is during the Secret Wars storyline, where Spider-Man is given a suit made of an alien symbiote that ends up infecting Eddie Brock and becoming Venom. The suit then becomes called the Symbiotic suit, although the in-game suit doesn’t have any Venom-y powers.
Stark suit

Power: Spider Bro power - Deploys the spider drone from the movie which helps you out in combat by zapping enemies with electricity.

Negative suit
Unlocks at: Level 11
Requires: 1 x base, 2 x landmark, 1 x research tokens
Power: Negative shockwave - Unleashes a wave of negative energy to damage nearby enemies.
Comes from: In the comics this suit appears when Spider-Man voyages to the Negative Zone, a parallel universe. Unsurprisingly it also crops up when Spider-Man is affected by the powers of Martin Li, aka Mr Negative.
Electrically Insulated suit
Unlocks at: Level 13
Requires: 1 x base, 1 x research, 3 x crime tokens
Power: Electric Punch - Surprise surprise, it lets you punch enemies with electrically-charged fists.
