The Ultimate Guide to Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered Crime Tokens: Bonus Objectives, Factions, and Rewards

Learn how to farm Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered crime tokens efficiently. Discover bonus objectives, faction-specific crimes, and unlockable rewards.

To become the ultimate web-slinger in New York City, you need more than just quick reflexes; you need the right gear and upgrades. Collecting Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered crime tokens is the primary way to unlock powerful suit mods and gadgets that turn Peter Parker into a formidable hero. If you want to maximize your efficiency while patrolling the streets of Manhattan, understanding how to earn and spend Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered crime tokens is essential for every player looking to achieve 100% completion.

How to Unlock and Locate Crimes in New York City

Before you can start hoarding tokens, you must first enable the city's surveillance infrastructure. In the early stages of the game, Peter works with Captain Yuri Watanabe to bring the city's police towers back online. Repairing these Surveillance Towers is a mandatory step; once a tower in a specific district is fixed, it will broadcast local police reports and Sable radio chatter directly to Spider-Man.

Unlike other collectibles like Backpacks or Research Stations, which have fixed markers on the map, crimes are dynamic, random events. They appear in your immediate vicinity as you swing through the city. When a crime is triggered, you will see a red exclamation point icon on your HUD and mini-map.

Community reports often suggest that the best way to trigger these events is to simply perch on a tall building or swing through a district for a few minutes. If you are specifically hunting for Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered crime tokens, keep your ears open for police scanners. The variety and difficulty of these crimes increase significantly as you progress through the main story, evolving from simple street muggings to high-stakes armored car heists and rooftop shootouts.

Maximizing Your Yield: The Bonus Objective System

Every time you successfully intervene in a crime, you are guaranteed at least one token. However, if you want to unlock every suit in the game, you need to be more than just successful—you need to be stylish. Each crime comes with two optional "Bonus Objectives."

By completing these specific combat or traversal challenges, you can earn up to three Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered crime tokens per encounter (one for the base completion and one for each bonus objective). If you fail to complete the bonus objectives during a specific crime, don't worry; crimes are infinite, and you will have plenty of opportunities to try again when another event spawns.

Standard Thug Crime Objectives

Thug crimes are the most common encounters you will face, especially in the early game. They represent the "bread and butter" of your token farming.

Faction-Specific Crimes and Advanced Challenges

As the plot thickens, new factions like the Inner Demons, escaped Prisoners, and Sable International forces begin to cause chaos. These factions bring unique weaponry—such as energy whips, rocket launchers, and armored jetpacks—making the quest for Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered crime tokens much more dangerous.

Inner Demon Crimes

The Demons utilize negative energy and heavy explosives. Their crimes often involve hostages or high-speed chases.

Crime TypeBonus Objective 1Bonus Objective 2
Demon HostagesPerform 4 Stealth TakedownsWeb Throw 5 enemies at others
Demon ShootoutWeb Throw 5 objects at enemiesPerform 20 aerial combo hits

Armored CarAchieve a combo of 10 or moreUse Air Launch on 4 enemies

Prisoner and Sable Crimes

Late-game crimes involve escaped convicts and overzealous Sable mercenaries. These encounters are high-intensity and often require the use of advanced gadgets to meet bonus requirements.

| Faction | Crime Type | Bonus Objective 1 | Bonus Objective 2 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Prisoners | Food Convoy Raid | Web Throw 5 objects | Combo of 20 or more | | Prisoners | Convict Joyride | Complete in 2 minutes | No damage taken | | Sable | Sable Checkpoint | Electrify 4 enemies at once | Combo of 20 or more | | Sable | Sable APC Patrol | Electrify 5 enemies at once | Web 3 enemies to a wall | | Sable | Sable Ambush | Swing Kick 10 enemies | 20 aerial combo hits |

DLC Crimes: The Heist, Turf Wars, and Silver Lining

If you are playing the "City That Never Sleeps" DLC chapters, you will encounter new crime types associated with the Maggia and Hammerhead’s gang. These crimes are restricted to specific districts relevant to the DLC story.

It is important to note that while these crimes provide Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered crime tokens and are required for district completion, they do not feature the same bonus objective structure found in the base game. Instead, they focus on clearing the threat to secure the neighborhood.

Maggia Crimes (The Heist):

  • Bomb Assassination
  • Maggia Intimidation
  • Maggia Pursuit
  • Missing Informant
  • Money Laundering
  • Planted Car Bombs
  • Protection Racket

Hammerhead Crimes (Turf Wars & Silver Lining):

  • Attempted Hit
  • Maggia Execution
  • Maggia Factions Chase
  • Mob Roof Shootout
  • Tanker Standoff
  • Tech Salvage

Spending Your Tokens: Suits, Mods, and Gadgets

The primary reason to farm Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered crime tokens is to fund your upgrades. Many of the most iconic suits and essential gadgets require a combination of Crime Tokens and other resources like Backpack or Base Tokens.

Unlockable ItemTypeCrime Token CostOther Resource Cost
Advanced SuitSuit2 Tokens1 Backpack Token
Classic Suit (Repaired)Suit2 Tokens2 Backpack Tokens
Battle TechSuit Mod1 TokenNone
Gel PaddingSuit Mod3 Tokens1 Backpack Token
Web Shooter Recharge IGadget3 TokensNone
Increased Gadget CapacityGadget2 Tokens1 Backpack Token

Player experience suggests prioritizing gadget capacity and recharge rates early on, as these allow you to handle larger groups of enemies more effectively, which in turn makes completing bonus objectives easier in later districts.

Trophies and 100% Completion

For completionists, crimes are not just about the tokens; they are a requirement for the Platinum Trophy. Each district has a specific number of crimes for each faction that must be resolved to reach 100% District Completion.

  • Neighborhood Watch Trophy: Awarded for completing all faction crimes in all districts within the base game.
  • Disorganized Crime Trophy: Awarded for completing all crimes in a district during "The Heist" DLC.
  • The Gang War Trophy: Awarded for completing all crimes in a district during the "Turf Wars" DLC.
  • The Undies Suit: To unlock this unique (and revealing) suit, you must reach 100% total completion across the entire base game, which includes finishing every crime and objective in every neighborhood.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get more crime tokens if I already finished the story?

Crimes continue to spawn infinitely even after the main story is completed. Simply swing around any district, and the police scanner will eventually notify you of a new event. You can continue to earn Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered crime tokens as long as you keep playing.

Why aren't crimes appearing in my district?

Ensure that you have repaired the Surveillance Tower for that specific district. If towers are active and crimes still aren't appearing, try fast-traveling to a different part of the map and swinging back, or check your map to see if you have already hit the "maximum" number of crimes required for that district's completion meter.

Do I need to complete bonus objectives to get the Neighborhood Watch trophy?

No, the trophies generally only require you to complete the crimes themselves. However, failing to do the bonus objectives will leave you with fewer Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered crime tokens, which might prevent you from buying all the suits required for the "Suit Ladder" trophies.

Can I replay crimes?

While you cannot "replay" a specific instance of a crime from a menu, the same types of crimes (like Mugging or Drug Deal) will reappear randomly forever. If you missed a bonus objective, just wait for that crime type to spawn again in the open world.
