You can wear a lot Spider-Man Remastered suits on PS5 (and there are plenty of Spider-Man Miles Morales suits too). For Peter, though, whether it’s his own improvised ragtag outfit from the early years, or the ludicrously high-tech Iron Spider suit, Peter has something in his wardrobe for practically every occasion. And these outfits don’t just look good in Spider-Man PS5, no; each one of them comes equipped with its own buffs and powers that can be triggered by hitting L3 and R3 simultaneously on the pad. Mix and match suits and powers to cater to your playstyle, and you’ll be an unstoppable crime-fighting machine.
But looking good never necessarily comes easy. To unlock and equip the various outfits, you’ll need to collect enough resource tokens by completing various tasks around the map. There are six types of resources to pilfer: backpack, research, landmark, crime, challenge, and base. On top of that, most suits will require story milestone completion or hitting a level cap if you want to unlock them. For a full rundown of everything you need to know, here’s how to get every single one of Spider-Man’s suits along with the power they come with.
Warning: at the end of this article there are MAJOR spoilers about the end of Spider-Man. You have been warned.
Advanced suit
Unlocks at: Completion of mission Something Old, Something New
Requires: 1 x backpack, 2 x crime tokens
Power: Battle Focus - Lets you rapidly generate focus to either heal or take out enemies instantly with finishing moves.
Comes from: This suit is completely new and was designed especially for the PS4 game!
Classic suit (damaged)
Unlocks at: Completion of mission Something Old, Something New
Requires: None (you get it automatically)
Power: None
Comes from: Come on, you know as well as us that this outfit is as classic as it gets for ol’ Spidey.
Classic suit (repaired)
Unlocks at: Completion of mission Something Old, Something New
Requires: 2 x backpack, 2 x crime tokens
Power: Web Blossom - Lets you jump up in the air and web everything in sight, making it great for crowd control.
Comes from: Just like above, this suit is what springs to mind when you think of Spider-Man.
Noir suit
Unlocks at: Completion of mission Something Old, Something New
Requires: 2 x backpack, 1 x base tokens
Power: Sound of Silence - Enemies don’t call for backup once they’re alerted.
Comes from: This suit comes from Spider-Man Noir, an alternate timeline of Peter Parker’s Great Depression adventures set in 1933 as part of the Marvel Noir universe.
Scarlet spider
Unlocks at: Completion of mission Something Old, Something New
Requires: 3 x crime, 2 x landmark tokens
Power: Holo Decoy - Spawns multiple decoys that stun attacking enemies.
Comes from: Ben Reilly, Peter Parker’s clone, was the first character to wear this outfit and becomes the Scarlet Spider when he tries to kill Carnage. He’s even fought Venom as the Scarlet Spider, pretty much making him a hero in his own right.
Spider armor Mk II suit
Unlocks at: Level 5
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.
Comes from: This suit was crafted by Peter when he lost his Spider-sense, hence why it’s bulletproof as he wasn’t able to dodge incoming bullets without his sixth sense.
Secret War suit
Unlocks at: Level 7
Requires: 2 x backpack, 1 x base, 2 x research tokens
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
Unlocks at: Level 10
Requires: 1 x base, 3 x crime, 1 x research tokens
Power: Spider Bro power - Deploys the spider drone from the movie which helps you out in combat by zapping enemies with electricity.
Comes from: This one is from Captain America: Civil War and Spider-Man: Homecoming, where Tom Holland’s Peter Parker gets given the suit by none other than Tony Stark. The spider drone features in the second half of Homecoming too.
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.
Comes from: When Spider-Man fought Electro in Amazing Spider-Man #425 and had to protect himself from electricity. The design is pretty faithful, right down to the red padding.
