Follow along with this guide to find out how to scan the environment in Spider-Man 2.

How to Scan Environment in Spider-Man 2

How to Scan Environment in Spider-Man 2

You can scan the Environment in Spider-Man 2 by pressing R3 on your controller, whether you are resting on the heights of the New York City building or in the middle of combat on a mission.

How to use Scanning in Spider-Man 2 effectively

By scanning the environment, players will be able to mark and locate collectables, tokens, and other missions in the area. Moreover, if you are already in a highlighted area, you can again use the scan features even further to accurately spot the object or place.

Another great advantage of scanning is that, if you are in a given district, the marker will be visible until you clear the mission/objective. However, once you Fast Travel to another district the makers will be reset, and you need to scan again to highlight them back.

That’s everything covered for how to scan environment in Spider-Man 2.
