How to Throw Items in Spider-Man PS4

Recommended Videos

Here’s what you need to know to throw items in Spider-Man PS4.

Spider-Man is the biggest and latest exclusive title to hit the PS4 this month. Developed by Insomniac Games, players will get to explore a large open world set in Manhattan, New York, and sling around like the titular web-head.

You’re sure to come across some of the comic series’ main villains, as well as spend time out the mask as Peter Parker. Aside from just swinging from building to building and beating up bad guys, you’ll also be able to interact with the world around you by throwing items around.

Occasionally, when you’re wandering around the city, you might get an onscreen prompt, asking you to push the L1 and R1 buttons. If you push both buttons at the same time and hold them down, Spidey will pick up whatever item you’re interacting with and throw it at a nearby enemy.

This can be anything, really. It could be a car door or any other lethal item, and Spidey will straight up fling it at an enemy to deal extra damage.

This provides some variety to the game’s combat, and it’s pretty fluid as well, so you’ll be able to string melee combos together, and throw in a few items for good measure.

Make sure to always keep an eye on the environment and your surroundings to find items that can be used to your advantage, and swing the fight in your favor. Mastering the ability to throw items can be vital to defeating tougher groups of enemies in Spider-Man PS4.

And that’s really all you need to know about throwing items around in the game. Be sure to search for Twinfinite or check our wiki for more information on Spider-Man on PS4.
