Spider-Man: The Heist DLC – Pursuing the Truth Mission Guide
In Spider-Man’s The Heist DLC, the “Something is Screwy” mission introduces a dangerous game show by Screwball, a recurring villain. This mission is essential for progressing through the story and unlocking the Screwball Challenges. If you’re looking to complete this mission and tackle all its challenges, our detailed guide below will help you out.
How to Start the Pursuing the Truth Mission
To start the Pursuing the Truth mission, head to the Upper East Side district.
Once MJ contacts you with the new tip, a mission marker will appear on your map. Follow the marker to the Upper East Side, and head up to the rooftop where a cutscene will trigger. In this scene, Spider-Man comes face to face with the Black Cat. After a brief encounter, Black Cat stuns you and escapes, triggering your first mission objective: Capture the Black Cat.
Objective: Capture the Black Cat
In this initial chase sequence, you won’t have access to your web-swinging abilities. This means you will need to rely on parkour to keep up with Black Cat as she runs across the rooftops and through obstacles. Keep close to her—if you fall too far behind, you’ll fail the mission. When you get close enough, press the prompt (Triangle) to attempt to capture her. A cutscene will follow.
Objective: Don’t Let the Black Cat Get Away
After the cutscene, Spider-Man regains his web-swinging abilities, and the chase continues through the subway tunnels. This section requires you to swing through the tunnels while avoiding obstacles, including electric shocks from the train tracks. Keep your momentum going and avoid getting hit by the electric currents as you chase Black Cat. This chase leads to another cutscene.
Objective: Catch Up to the Black Cat
The final part of the chase takes place back on the rooftops of New York. You’ll need to get close enough to Black Cat and use your web abilities to capture her. Press R1 when you’re close and then press Triangle to complete the chase. After a final cutscene, you will successfully finish the Pursuing the Truth mission.
Completion Reward: Unlock the “Here Kitty-Kitty” achievement.
