Spider-Man: Miles Morales is finally here and, if you didn’t already read our review, it’s certainly worth the wait.
While Miles Morales retains the incredible writing, fantastic controls, and clever open-world design that made Marvel’s Spider-Man a hit, one of the game’s most surprising draws remains its extensive collection of unlockable suits that pay tribute to Spider-Man‘s long comic book history.
Pretty much every suit in the game is worth unlocking and wearing, but we’ve picked the 10 best suits you need to get your hands on as soon as possible. Here are the suits as well as how to unlock them in the game:
S.T.R.I.K.E. Suit
How to Unlock:
Reach Level 10, Collect 16 Activity Tokens, Find 2 Tech Parts
Why It’s One of the Best Suits:
This suit’s ability to increase your Venom Power regeneration as your health drops is useful in certain situations, but this is really a style selection. I love this suit’s giant gauntlets and slightly mismatched components. This suit is reminiscent of how your character in a RPG would look towards the endgame when you’re just collecting everything with the best stats and aren’t too concerned about everything matching perfectly.
2099 Suit
How to Unlock:
Reach Level 12, Collect 14 Activity Tokens, Find 3 Tech Parts
Why It’s One of the Best Suits:
It’s hard not to love this tribute to the Spider-Man 2099 series, but this suit also unlocks a handy mod that reduces the effect of Venom suppression weapons. Those are some of the most annoying obstacles in the game, so I recommend unlocking this suit for both its functionality and how good it looks.
Into the Spider-Verse Suit
How to Unlock:
Reach Level 13, Collect 18 Activity Tokens, Find 4 Tech Parts
Why It’s One of the Best Suits:
Winter Suit
How to Unlock:
Complete the “We’ve Got a Lead” Side Mission
Why It’s One of the Best Suits:
While you don’t earn any suit mods with this one, the Winter Suit’s style should be more than enough incentive to unlock it. I love imagining Miles putting on his hat, earmuffs, scarf, and long socks before heading out to save the city. Even better, the scarf is independently animated, which means it’s constantly moving as you swing and fight. This is a great suit that matches the game’s wintertime aesthetic.
2020 Suit
How to Unlock:
Finish all Spider-Training Challenges and complete the Final Test Side Mission
Why It’s One of the Best Suits:
You’re not going to earn this one until later in the game, but the effort is worth it. Again, this suit doesn’t unlock any mods, but it does include some impressive LED displays in the helmet and chest. This suit basically turns you into a one (Spider) man party who swings around the city defeating evil en route to a warehouse rave.
Programmable Matter Suit
How to Unlock:
Finish all Underground Hideouts and Roxxon Labs, complete the Matter Up Side Mission
Why It’s One of the Best Suits:
The look of this suit is a bit hard to explain without seeing it in motion, but it basically utilizes a chameleon-like effect that never fails to impress as you watch it subtly reflect your environment. It’s basically a built-in way to show off the PS5’s ray tracing capabilities, and it even comes complete with unique takedown animations.
Purple Reign Suit
How to Unlock:
Complete all Sound Samples and finish the Back to the Beginning Side Mission
Why It’s One of the Best Suits:
The name alone earns this suit a few style points, but it’s really Purple Reign’s various references to the Prowler that make it one of Miles’ best outfits. You’ve got to love that green and purple color combo, and there are even little claws built into the design of the suit’s gloves. This suit also unlocks the handy Redeemer mod which replenishes a gadget ammo slot for every stealth takedown you perform.
Bodega Cat Suit
How to Unlock:
Finish the main story and complete the Cat’s Pajamas side mission.
Why It’s One of the Best Suits:
We’ve talked extensively about our love for the Bodega Cat suit (and how Spider-Man the Cat even has his own unique attack animations), so let’s instead focus on how to unlock it. When you’re playing the game, be sure to keep an eye out for the Cat’s Pajamas side mission. After finishing that and beating the campaign, you’ll be prompted to return to the bodega where you can unlock Miles’ coolest outfit.
Homemade Suit
How to Unlock:
Reach Level 5, Earn 8 Activity Tokens, Find 1 Tech Part
Why It’s One of the Best Suits:
This suit’s DIY aesthetic certainly isn’t lacking in charm (it looks like something that you’d throw together for Halloween and fondly remember forever), but it’s actually this suit’s mod that puts it over-the-top. The Power Pitcher mod increases the damage of thrown objects, which proves to be surprisingly handy for some of the earlier fights in the game.
The End Suit
How to Unlock:
Reach Level 11, Earn 16 Activity Tokens, Find 2 Tech Part
Why It’s One of the Best Suits:
This (roughly) midgame suit will surely break hearts with its urban camo pants and Banksy-esque vibes. The pants alone will leave you wondering when we’re going to just get a Spider-Man Zubaz outfit. The End’s mod, Steady Focus, also proves to be surprisingly handy as it slows the drain rate of your camo when you’re not moving. That makes it much easier to navigate some of the more frustrating stealth sequences.
