Web-Slinging is Great, But Even Spidey Needs a Break: A Totally Official Guide to Riding the Subway in Marvel's Spider-Man PS5 (Because Apparently You Can't Just Swing Everywhere)
Let's face it, swinging through the neon jungle of New York City as Spider-Man is the very definition of exhilarating. But even the amazing web-slinger needs a breather every now and then. That's where the mighty (and slightly underrated) subway system comes in.
However, you might be surprised to learn that riding the subway in Marvel's Spider-Man PS5 isn't quite as straightforward as hopping on a random train and hoping for the best. No, true subway mastery requires a certain... finesse.
First Things First: You Ain't Seen Spidey on the Subway (Literally)
Now, you might be picturing a heartwarming scene of Spider-Man sharing a subway car with everyday New Yorkers, dispensing friendly advice and maybe even stopping a purse snatcher mid-ride. Hold your horses, true believers. In Spider-Man PS5, the subway functions more as a fast travel system. So instead of witnessing heartwarming interactions (though wouldn't that be a DLC we could all get behind?), we get a trippy, psychedelic lightshow that whooshes us from point A to point B.
Unlocking the Power of the Subway: Not as Secretive as Spidey's Identity (But Almost)
Fear not, aspiring subway conductors (of the web-slinging variety)! While you won't be able to ride the rails in real-time (because, you know, stopping crime and all that), you can unlock the fast travel feature after completing the mission "Wheels Within Wheels." This isn't exactly Aunt May asking you to take out the garbage, so some progress in the story is required.
Mastering the Art of the Fast Travel: It's Easier Than Dodging Doc Ock's Tentacles (Probably)
Once you've unlocked the subway's potential, here's the nitty-gritty:
- Open your map: This seems obvious, but hey, even superheroes need reminders sometimes.
- Look for those sweet, sweet green arrows: These little green icons mark fast travel locations, and any good subway rider knows that's where the magic happens.
- Hold that X button: Consider it your virtual MetroCard. With a mighty press (or should we say, a web-tastic hold), you'll be whisked away in a blur of lights and...well, that's it really. But hey, it beats getting stuck in rush hour traffic!
Bonus Tip: You might even snag a trophy, aptly named "Born to Ride," for using the fast travel system five times. So go forth, web-slingers, and conquer the not-so-mean streets (and subways) of New York City!
