Blindsided is the first main mission in the "Turf Wars" downloadable content for Marvel's Spider-Man. Yuriko Watanabe, the New York City police, and Spider-Man try to raid Maggia Don Hammerhead in the Harlem Sanitarium to shut down his operation for good.

Completing this mission rewards the player with the Spider-Armor MK I Suit.

Story[]

Yuri recounts the story of "The Heist", and reveals that without the USB drives, he cannot blackmail the other Maggia dons, and is instead attempting to wipe them out by force using Sable International weaponry. Because the Maggia have Hammerhead pinned in the Harlem Sanitarium, the police have the chance to shut him down.

Spider-Man arrives assisting Yuri and the police, and meets an officer named Lieutenant Drake who is wearing a Spider-Man watch bought by his child as a birthday present. Spider-Man defeats the thugs outside while Yuri's team infiltrates, but loses contact with Yuri later and infiltrates to find her. Inside, he finds that Hammerhead's people were betting over districts they could control when the Maggia were out. He also finds more Sable tech, and using a repurposed security system, finds that Hammerhead has beaten the strike team.

Spider-Man reaches Yuri to find her men have been defeated by Hammerhead, as Hammerhead himself forces Yuri to watch her men die in front of her. Hammerhead promises he will bring back fear and respect, though Yuri and Lieutenant Drake put up a valiant effort to fight the thugs and break out. Hammerhead points out he can sense Yuri's fear as she has a gun aimed at him, and Spider-Man arrives. A shootout when the lights are blown out leads to the death of Lieutenant Drake and Hammerhead's escape.

Walkthrough[]

The mission opens with a standard combat segment against Maggia thugs. It is best to attack the thugs with guns and rocket launchers on the elevated surface while taking out the melee enemies on the ground later, using aerial attacks or web gadgets to take them out. Focus should be saved for the Gatling gun brutes that later arrive, to take them out with two Finisher gauges.

In the next segment, Spider-Man encounters jetpack enemies that also use Sable shields that can block web attacks. These thugs are best defeated either with dodge under attacks on the ground or with melee aerial attacks, as gadgets (other than Impact Mines are relatively ineffective against them).

Once the next group are defeated, follow the linear path infiltrating the sanitarium. Further in, Spider-Man must inspect inspecting the pictures of Hammerhead targets and a map of New York to proceed further in, where a few Hammerhead thugs are present across a floor. These can be taken out with stealth relatively simply, or with combat, to proceed further into the building. In a room with Sable tech, investigate a Sable prototype and zip through to a room with security footage for a cutscene.

When the cutscene ends, the next mission, "The Bar With No Name", is available.
