Being able to take more damage from fists, a metal pipe, or even bullets, would be mightily handy. Thankfully, there’s a Spectacular way to increase health in Spider-Man 2.
The only way to increase health in Spider-Man 2
To increase your health bar in Spider-Man 2, you’ll need to unlock the Suit Tech menu screen. You’ll gain it after completing the main quest Amends, which has Miles reconnecting with his Uncle Aaron (also known as the Prowler).
Find his secret room by scanning the area and pulling the locked gates open. You’ll then be given the ability to update your Suit Tech. The Prowler Stashes can also be found throughout New York.
What can you do with Suit Tech in Spider-Man 2?
Now that you can access the Suit Tech screen, you can improve Peter and Miles’ Health, Damage, Focus, and Traversal properties. For example, Amazing Health 2 increases your health to 120 points rather than the default 100. You’ll need some materials to craft the upgrades to your suit, however.
You can gain tech parts by stopping crimes and finishing FNSM Requests, while Hero Tokens are rewarded by beating up The Flame. Rare Tech Parts can be found at Prowler Stashes. Lastly, you’ll get City Tokens by gathering Marko’s Memories and finishing both Photo Ops and Brooklyn Visions Requests.
There are other ways of getting these materials as well; the best way to check is to go to the upgrade you want and press the triangle button. The game tells you where to find the materials you need. Later upgrades will be locked behind a level too.
