Spider-Man: The Heist DLC – The Trouble with Arson Mission Guide
After a thrilling evening at the Manhattan Museum of Contemporary Art (MMoCA), Spider-Man returns to New York City with a deeper focus on the mafia trying to take over the city. This leads to the second mission of The Heist DLC, The Trouble with Arson. To help you complete this mission and progress in the story, we’ve put together a detailed guide.
Starting The Trouble with Arson Mission
The Trouble with Arson begins in Midtown after Spider-Man’s conversation with MJ. Upon returning to the roof of MMoCA, Spider-Man hears a police scanner reporting a car explosion, hinting at Maggia involvement. This is where the mission kicks off. Here’s what the mission overview says:
“Reports of a car explosion… Sounds like Maggia work. Need to see if I can help.”
Follow the steps below to complete the mission.
Objective: Head to Midtown
To get started, make your way to Midtown, where you’ll find the spot marked on your map. As you approach, a cutscene with firefighters will trigger, starting the mission. This will prompt you to deploy your Spider-Bot.
Objective: Deploy the Spider-Bot
Deploying your Spider-Bot is essential for defusing the bombs. To deploy, simply press the Triangle button. Once deployed, your task will be to disarm four bombs hidden under various vehicles before the timer runs out. You have 2 minutes to defuse all bombs.
Bomb Locations
Each bomb is marked by a beeping sound and controller vibrations. The louder the beeps and stronger the vibrations, the closer the bomb is to you. Here are the bomb locations:
- Black Sedan (4-door): Parked near the start of the mission.
- Mail Truck: In the back, look inside the box.
- White Sedan (4-door): Beneath this vehicle.
- Dumpster: Near the bomb underneath this object.
Once you’ve defused all four bombs, the mission will conclude. The Maggia Crimes are now part of the open-world crime activities introduced in The Heist DLC. Completing The Trouble with Arson advances the story and rewards you with XP and Crime Tokens.
This mission introduces new gameplay mechanics with the Spider-Bot and adds a layer of excitement to your Spider-Man adventures. After disarming the bombs, you’ll continue unraveling the mystery behind the Maggia and their criminal activities.
