Finding all of the Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Rare Tech Parts you need to upgrade skills and unlock suits is tough. Where regular Tech Parts can be found quite easily in the early game by completing crime reports and finding blue boxes, Rare Tech Parts are indeed much harder to find, as their name suggests. But you’ll need to acquire them if you want to complete your collection of suits, suit tech, gadgets, and more. Levelling up will not help here, as important as that is too. Here’s how to obtain Rare Tech Parts fast in Spider-Man 2.
How to get Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Rare Tech Parts fast
The fastest way to earn Rare Tech Parts in Spider-Man 2 is to complete Prowler Stashes, earn district progress, and find blinking yellow boxes throughout the city, especially in the first half of the game.
You’ll gain access to the Prowler Stashes side activity fairly early after completing a main mission (we’re going to keep it vague so this remains spoiler-free). Most of them aren’t difficult to figure out and getting them will award you with a handful of Rare Tech Parts for Peter Parker and Miles Morales to use. If you do enough crime reports and side objectives in a district, you will also earn two Rare Tech Parts for reaching the first tier of district progress (which is good for unlocking fast travel too).
Otherwise, you may be lucky enough to find a yellow tech crate, instead of a regular blue crate, that usually contains one or two Rare Tech Parts while you’re exploring New York City. Trying to find them specifically is not really feasible unless you’re using an info map of some kind. But you actually don’t need to reference a third-party map to locate these yellow boxes.
Instead, you can learn the All Seeing suit tech in the Traversal upgrade tree to find the location of any nearby tech crates on your mini-map. If you happen to come across a yellow crate icon with a diamond symbol in the center of it, instead of one without the symbol, this indicates that a yellow tech crate is close by. You’ll also hear a ping from the crate that will grow louder as you get closer to it.
There are also three other side activities that you will unlock further in the game where you can earn Rare Tech Parts too, like EMF Experiments, Hunter Blinds, and Unidentified Targets.
