Tracking down collectibles across New York City is one of the most satisfying activities in Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Among the various districts in Manhattan, the Upper East Side contains three distinct Spider-Bots hidden on building walls and billboards. Finding all of these miniature devices brings players one step closer to achieving total district completion and earning valuable tech resources.
Finding the Aracnido Jr. Spider-Bot
The Aracnido Jr. collectible is located in the southwestern quadrant of the Upper East Side district, right near the edge bordering Central Park. To locate it quickly, head toward the large residential structures near the park boundary and listen for its distinct sound cue. The bot is clinging to the side of a tall brick building facade overlooking the street below.
As you approach the area, look for a vibrant pulse of light radiating from the building exterior. You can easily scale the building or swing close enough to interact with the item. Collecting this bot rewards your hero with experience points and tech parts needed for suit upgrades.
Locating the Spider-Man Noir Spider-Bot
The Spider-Man Noir variant is hidden near the central area of the Upper East Side district. The easiest landmark to use when searching for this collectible is the iconic Avengers Tower skyscraper. Head directly west from the tower to find the cluster of brick structures sitting in its shadow.
Look specifically at the northern wall of one of these mid-rise apartment buildings to spot the crawling device. It emits a noticeable visual ring into the air, making it visible even from a distance while web-swinging. Once spotted, simply crawl along the vertical surface to collect the dark-themed Spider-Bot.
Discovering the Spider-Armor MK III Spider-Bot
To claim the third collectible in this region, you will need to travel toward the northeastern corner of the Upper East Side map. This particular Spider-Bot is not mounted on a traditional building wall like the others in the district. Instead, you will find it positioned directly on a large commercial billboard high above the city streets.
Look around the area east of the elevated train tracks near the local gas station to spot the billboard structure. Perch on top of the sign or wall-run across its surface to interact with the device and complete the set. Gathering all three Spider-Bots clears the district objective and helps advance the broader side quest storyline.
Tips for Efficient Collectible Hunting
When searching for Spider-Bots, paying attention to environmental audio cues is extremely helpful for pinpointing exact coordinates. Every Spider-Bot emits a rhythmic pulse sound accompanied by expanding colorful energy rings that cut through the skyline. Utilizing the web wings allows you to scan rooftops rapidly without losing momentum between locations.
If you have trouble spotting a bot, try swinging at high altitudes to get a clearer view of surrounding structures. Opening the main map screen periodically can also help verify that you are searching within the official Upper East Side district boundaries. Completing these collectibles provides essential upgrade materials while giving players a fun tour of Manhattan's iconic landmarks.
