The trickiest collectible in Spider-Man 2 are the Spider-Bots. These annoying hidden robots are found all over New York City, buzzing with a purple glow. Frustratingly, they don’t appear anywhere on your map even if you’ve discovered them. Finding them all is a real pain, so we’ve put together a guide showing where to find each set of Spider-Bots. Each district has 3-4 Spider-Bots to find, and finding them all leads to a very, very obscure secret. Complete the most arduous collect-a-thon and unlock the ‘Funky Wireless Protocols‘ trophy with the full locations guide below.
