Spider-Man: The Heist DLC – Something is Screwy 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 “Something is Screwy” Mission
To start the Something is Screwy mission, you’ll need to complete the Like Old Times mission first. Once done, you’ll be back in free-roam mode in New York City, and Screwball will make her return.
The mission starts when you learn that Screwball is back, continuing her old antics by setting up a dangerous game show. The mission overview reads:
“Looks like Screwball’s starting another dangerous game show. Need to shut this down before it gets out of hand.”
It begins in Midtown. Head over to the district, where you’ll find the map marker directing you to a rooftop.
Objective: Stop the Escaped RAFT Inmates
Once you reach the rooftop, your objective is to stop the escaped RAFT inmates who are causing trouble. There are 10 enemies in total on the roof. You can approach them in any way you like—whether by using stealth or taking them down head-on.
After clearing out the inmates, you’ll need to interact with a project on a table to trigger a cutscene. In this cutscene, you’ll see a short video featuring Screwball. This video sets the stage for the Screwball Challenges, which will now be available on your map.
Note: Complete the EMP Screwball Challenge to Progress
In order to further the story, you’ll need to complete the EMP Screwball Challenge. This is a special challenge tied to the mission. Completing this challenge is necessary to move forward in the DLC.
