How to web-throw in Spider-Man 2

Among the plethora of punches, kicks, and super skills that Spidey possesses, one that is particularly satisfying is the web-throw. It's particularly handy when you've got a goon with a gun in the distance and he's just out of reach while you deal with his companions. With one simple command, you can send Mr. Arrogant flying into a wall, through some scaffolding, or even into his fellow cronies.

To make use of the web-throw ability, you'll need to face your target and hold the Triangle button. This requires the enemy to be webbed-up, electrified, or stunned by Venom attacks to be thrown. It's an ability that is on Peter and Miles' combined skill tree, so both Spideys can toss their adversaries around New York.

How to unlock the web-throw skill

Unfortunately for those eager to toss their enemies around like a baseball with Dad, the web-throw skill won't be available from the start of Spider-Man 2. It seems that both Spideys have conveniently forgotten how to do it since the events of the first game - we speculate it is the result of too many blows to the head.

Nonetheless, it is a relatively simple process to unlock the web-throw skill, you'll just need to dedicate some time to earning XP as quickly as you can. Along with other skills like swing-kicking or air-yanking enemies, you'll be able to add the web-throw to your arsenal by spending Skill Points in the combined Miles and Peter skill tree. The web throw can be found in the second column as the second option down the line.
