In this chapter of our Marvel's Spider-Man Game Guide we have gathered detailed information about missions from Research Stations located in Upper West Side district.
Spider-Bot
Station: Arcturus
Reward: +100 XP, 2 research tokens.
Go down the building and get to the spider-bot. You will take control of it - go to the next highlighted points but remember to avoid passers-by. Also beware of urban traffic - at the very end, the bot will be kidnapped by a pigeon. After that, you again control Peter. Go to the nest of the bird, take your gadgets with you, and you'll complete the mission.
Lightning Rod
Station: Canopus
Reward: +100 XP, 2 research tokens.
It is a rather long and difficult mission. Your task is to jump on the antennas and direct the signal to the next transmitting towers. After a while, you will start to focus the electrical lightning on the spot where you are currently located - you may get hit by a lightning. Peter can take up to three strikes of lightning (if you fail, you will have to repeat selected parts of this mission). Before the impact, a red circle will be marked on the minimap. Leave the circle and avoiding injury. Go to the next towers and avoid lightning strikes.
Finally, you have to climb to the top of the skyscraper and use the antenna to redirect the signal to the previous towers. Be careful of lightning! When you connect all the points together, the mission will end.
