One of the most difficult side activities in Insomniac Games' Spider-Man are the Taskmaster challenges. Just get even the simple bronze rating to store them but if you want to stock up on challenge tokens you will have to work, and a lot.
The challenge tokens will be essential to upgrade the gadgets and obtain all the costumes of the Webweave. These will be the tokens that we will have to sweat the most as there will not be so many in the game and will only be obtainable thanks to these challenges: if you want to upgrade the equipment to the maximum and conquer all the costumes, you have no choice. It will range from a minimum of 1 token for bronze, 2 for silver and 3 for gold. The challenges will be sixteen in all, divided into four types: bomb, drone, stealth and combat.
Especially for combat challenges and drones having the complete skill tree will provide a nice advantage: thanks to the increased speed during vaulting or the increased damage, you will gain valuable time, finishing the challenge earlier and earning more points thanks to the time bonuses . We will gradually update this guide, in order to guide you step by step in the 4 types of challenges of this exclusive PlayStation 4.
Bomb challenges
The bomb challenges consist of limiting the blast radius of various bombs that Taskmaster has scattered throughout the various areas of Manhattan. Once a bomb challenge has been started, various indicators will appear that will show us where the bombs are positioned, with relative distance. Obviously it is always advisable to start from the closest to finish at the farthest, in order to optimize the time as much of the score will depend on the time taken. Once on the spot we will have to grab the bomb with the canvas (L1 + R1) and then throw it away and hinder its explosion by covering it with canvas: here too we will have to dose the canvas well, as the more we use it, the higher the score. Our advice, however, is to prioritize the execution time, as the bonus score will be much more generous than the expenditure of the canvas. To be faster and reach the bombs in the shortest time possible, try to "swing" between buildings (with R2) only when strictly necessary. Make more use of the launch on the grips with the pressure of R2 + L2 and then launch yourself by pressing X when you touch the grip in question: this momentum will give you much more speed to then reach the next grip or your destination. If you are good you can also use the momentum on the bombs themselves, landing in the right range to be able to launch them immediately in the air and then detonate them in a controlled manner.
Combat Challenges
As for the bomb challenges, even those focused on combat will give more substantial bonuses especially for the timing and, secondly, on the length of the combos: the faster you take out your enemies, without taking hits, the closer you will be to gold. To do this, we recommend that you first of all equip the gadgets that will allow you to knock out enemies including Spider-Drone, Impact Webs and Concussion (only if you are at the top, to knock out your enemies). To save time, on the other hand, the ability that allows us to perform at least two final attacks (by pressing triangle and circle at the same time) is useful, consuming a single bar of concentration as long as the enemies are close. Precisely for this reason it is best to use this type of attack when you are surrounded by at least two opponents, to knock them out as soon as possible. Of course, the other skills that enhance damage done and agility should also not be underestimated: for this reason we advise you to focus on this type of challenge when you are at high enough levels.
Drone Challenges
The drone challenges will consist in following the wake of a drone that we will have to destroy at the end of the path that he will draw for us, taking the various cameras that he will scatter along the way. Here too the discourse does not change: everything is focused on speed of execution and timing. As with bomb challenges, we also recommend rocking as little as possible for drones and taking advantage of the launches from the holds, when possible. Also remember well the points where the drone will install the cameras because you will hardly be able to earn gold on the first attempt: knowing where and how to move will be essential to grab a good score, being careful not to fall into the "false" tracks of the drone.
Stealth Challenges
In stealth challenges, the only goal will be to knock out enemies as quickly as possible without getting caught. Bet everything on the sneak attack from a distance: by pressing triangle you will launch yourself on the chosen opponent, immediately knocking him out, while trying to hang them on the wall, floor or roof with the spider web you will waste much more time. The most logical thing to do is to study an order in which to knock out enemies without being detected, running around the area by pressing triangle or, at the most, using the snap mine when you see two enemies close enough to be eliminated together in one shot.
