Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered is the PC version of Insomniac Games' 2018 PlayStation 4 open world action game, rebuilt by Nixxes Software and released on Steam on 12 August 2022. Peter Parker is eight years into the job when it opens, so there is no origin sequence and the story goes straight at Wilson Fisk, Martin Li and Otto Octavius. The map is Manhattan alone, running from the Financial District up to Harlem, and the three chapter story pack The City That Never Sleeps is included. Miles Morales appears as a supporting character with a handful of powerless stealth sections rather than as a second playable web-slinger.
Resource management and crafting determine how quickly your power scales. This guide covers what to prioritize, where to farm, and how to avoid wasting resources on the wrong upgrades.
Crafting Priority List
The order you should invest resources:
| Priority | Target | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Primary weapons | Biggest damage increase per resource spent |
| 2 | Core build gear | Enables your role's key combinations |
| 3 | Defensive upgrades | Survivability for boss fights |
| 4 | Secondary weapons | Situational options for specific content |
| 5 | Consumables | Temporary boosts for hard content |

Upgrade Path
Early Game (Financial District to Chinatown)
- Upgrade your starting weapons to functional level
- Craft basic defensive gear
- Save specialty materials, since you'll need them later
- Focus on Impact Web once accessible
Mid Game (Midtown)
- Push Impact Web to mid-level upgrades
- Start collecting materials for Web Shooters
- Craft situational consumables for boss fights
- Upgrade build-specific gear pieces
Late Game (Central Park to Harlem)
- Max out Web Shooters. This is your top priority
- Complete your build's core gear set
- Craft endgame consumables
- Optional: upgrade secondary weapons for variety
Crafting Mistakes to Avoid
- Spreading upgrades across multiple weapons: Focus one weapon to max before diversifying.
- Hoarding materials: Use them. The game provides enough if you farm efficiently.
- Upgrading the wrong gear: Check our builds guide before investing.
- Ignoring Midtown farming: This area has the best resource-to-time ratio in mid-game.
- Crafting consumables too early: Save specialty materials for late-game recipes.
Resource Efficiency Tips
- Swing at street level rather than over rooftops, because webs anchor to actual geometry and a low arc keeps more speed than a high one.
- Farm Midtown during mid-game for the best return on time
- Check the walkthrough to know when each resource becomes available
- Match your farming route to your build. Some classes farm faster in certain areas
