Spider-Man’s iconic Symbiote Suit was all over the trailers, screenshots, and other promotional materials released by the developers. Insomniac first revealed that the game will feature Peter Parker in his black suit in their Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 launch trailer released on October 13, 2021. However, it is not just one suit—the main two symbiote-related suits players get access to in the game’s story are the classic Black Suit and the more aggressive-looking Symbiote suit, both of these give Spider-Man the powers of Venom.

However, these two suits are exclusively available only to Peter and not Miles. Additionally, the suit not only looks cool but also comes with added perks that players can use during the game. Players will simply have to progress through the main story in the game to unlock both the Black and the Symbiote suits.

The black suit has been one of the most popular Spider-Man suits since the first time it appeared in the Secret Wars comic books. It also made an appearance in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 movie.

Players can acquire the black suit only by playing through the main story. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has 31 main missions in total. Spider-Man gets the black suit for the first time in the “Good Men” quest, which is exactly the 15th mission in the main questline and comes around midway through the game. The Black Suit gives players access to the Symbiote-related skill tree, and it comes with a lot of Venom-related abilities.

However, this spectacular-looking suit will remain unavailable for most of the early hours of the game. While the suit remains out of grabs, players will have access to a large number of different suits with different perks throughout the game for both Peter Parker and Miles Morales.

Spoiler Alert for Spider-Man 2. The Symbiote suit unlocks during the “It Chose You” quest, which takes place five quests after the previously mentioned “Good Men” mission. It is a more violent version of the original Black Suit. It first begins to take form when the symbiote slowly starts to take over Peter Parker, and Peter starts to become more and more aggressive.

How To Get It

To get it, the players will have to complete the quest. The quest begins with players seeing the events through MJ’s perspective as Kraven’s goons attack Peter’s house. As you play as MJ and start taking out the guards, Peter, now controlled by the symbiote shows up and starts taking out the guards violently and then runs away. After that, when MJ and Miles track Peter down, MJ gets trapped inside a tunnel with Peter.

When the Symbiote suit reveals Peter’s face, MJ discovers that he is still asleep and it is the symbiote who’s doing everything. MJ proceeds to electrocute Peter using her stun gun to wake him up, but it only angers the symbiote, and then Peter asks her to run away while the symbiote gives chase. The symbiote suit resembles the violent looks of Venom a little but it is not completely Venom yet.

Don’t worry because the players will get back access to the amazing powers of the symbiote in the “Set Things Right” quest. Unsurprisingly, his quest is set towards the end of the game. While there are a few more symbiote suits in the game, the main story of Spider-Man 2 is great, and we are not going to give you any more spoilers. Players can play the PC port of the game, which will be released on January 30, 2025, and discover all of the symbiote-related suits the game offers.
