Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Spider Bots are small collectibles that are hidden across the entire New York City, and each of these mechanical drones has a fun or quirky design based on one of the many characters, heroes, or villains that form part of the Spider-Verse. There are a total of 42 to find, and while that may sound like a daunting task I've already done the legwork of finding every single one, to create a Spider-Bot map you can refer to and complete this process yourself.
The bots themselves don't appear until after the story mission "Science Buddy", but after that a quest called Spider-Spy introduces the first bot. From that point onwards you can then search out and grab as many of them as you like.
You'll find these Spider Bots on buildings, under bridges, and occasionally hovering in the air. They initially feel easy to find as you see the distinctive pink glow that gives them away while swinging around. However, that's only really when there are plenty of them to find, as the number left in the world goes down you'll eventually find yourself struggling to locate more. When you're down to the last few you can spend ages swinging back and forth all over a district trying to find one. So to avoid that use my Spider-Man 2 Spider Bot map below to track them all down.
How to find Marvel's Spider-Man 2 spider bots
As I mentioned, you won't be able to find any Spider Bots until you complete the mission 'Science Buddy' and Ganke calls you. That will point you to the first Spider Bot, Spider-Man 2099. After that they're just out in the world to find. The key to finding Spider Bots is the big pink pulsing bubble that emanates from them. You'll also hear a distinctive pulse sound when you get close enough, which will add a Spider Bot icon to your map.
Early on they're hard to miss as you swing around the map, but as the numbers begin to dwindle it can get harder, as you're less likely to get close to one enough to trigger them, or be facing the right way when they give out their tell-tale blip.
So check the Spider-Man 2 Spider Bot map below for the locations of all of them, which is based on the order I found them as I played.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Spider Bot rewards
The big reward for finding all of the Spider-Man 2 Spider Bots is not huge. You'll get 400 Tech Parts and 1,000 XP and unlock a new location where you can watch a cut scene to meet Delilah in The Bar With No Name, who'll take all of the Spider Bots off you. If you're wondering who that is, then she's a character that was cut from a post credit scene in Across the Spider-Verse, making this her only official performance. The only reason anyone was able to work out who she was was because the official art book for the film outlines early rough designs for the character and location.
