Taskmaster Challenges are citywide activities players can choose to explore in Marvel's Spider-Man. They appear in each district, placed by the mysterious Taskmaster, who has been hired by a secret organization to study Spider-Man and see if he is "worth recruiting"; to this end, Taskmaster sets up a series of challenges around the city to test Spider-Man's abilities, before engaging the web-slinger in a fight himself.

Completing the challenges will reward players with various amounts of Challenge Tokens, depending on how they score. Players can begin these after completing the What's in the Box? mission.

Challenge types[]

The challenges come in four varieties:

  • Bomb Challenges
  • Combat Challenges
  • Drone Challenges
  • Stealth Challenges

These test Spider-Man's ability to parkour at high and low altitudes, fight, web sling, and sneak, respectively.

Success in each of the challenges can yield up to 6 Challenge Tokens depending on the final score, which is based on how fast players complete the challenge; achieving a bronze ("Amazing") rating will grant 1 Challenge Token, a silver ("Spectacular") rating will grant 3 Challenge Tokens, and a gold ("Ultimate") rating will grant 6 Challenge Tokens.

Challenge locations[]

There are a total of sixteen Taskmaster Challenges, with four of each type, located across the nine districts.

Taskmaster fight[]

Once players have completed five different challenges of any kind, Taskmaster will find Spider-Man. This will prompt a fight, though Taskmaster will retreat before he can be defeated, earning players 1000 XP. He will subsequently taunt Spider-Man to complete more of his challenges if he wants a rematch.

After completing all sixteen challenges, Spider-Man will be ambushed by Taskmaster once more for the final fight. If players manage to defeat him, they will be rewarded with 2500 XP.
