Popular Post rubhen925 Posted September 10, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) Hey guys, it’s Rubhen here with a video for Marvel’s Spiderman on the PS4. So I looked everywhere for this and no one really had a solid solution or video about it. The topic is How to Spawn the Random Crimes more Easily. We are talking about the Thug Crimes, Demon Crimes, Prisoner Crimes, and Sable Crimes. Now these missions are random and spawn throughout the districts and each district has quite a lot to complete. If you are like me and are going for the 100% district completion, then you need to finish all of these crimes. The problem is once you complete the game and if you are in a similar situation like mine where you collected all the collectibles, completed all side mission and stuff, and if these random crimes are the only things you need for 100% completion, well they spawn really slowly. One thing you can do is just swing around in the district till one pops up. I’d say it can take anywhere from 1-5 mins for a crime to pop up. It takes too long in my opinion. So I started experimenting and tried a couple things like booting to the main menu, reloading checkpoint, yada yada yada. Then out of nowhere when I was going for the Born to Ride Trophy which is to ride the subway 5 times, I was fast travelling from Research Station to research station, and found out that crimes spawn a few seconds right after you fast travel. I’d say around 20-30 seconds. Make sure to press the R3 button a couple times to scan the environment, as sometimes the dispatch won’t mention it. But if you scan you can see the mission in red pop up. I have tested this every district. The only one you need to move about is the Central Park District which doesn’t have a fast travel point. Just fast travel to either the closest research station in Upper West Side or Upper East Side districts and quickly swing your way to Central park and a crime should pop up. For all other districts just keep fast travelling to a police station or research station and within 20-30 seconds you can spawn a crime. You can even fast travel to the same point once you complete a crime. But yea that’s it. Hope you guys find this helpful and good luck with this boring and endless grind. There’s just too many in my opinion. I pretty much am binge watching Boku no Hero Academia while doing this. Later guys. Take care.

PhantomBlade19 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) I just keep swinging around the district I want and scan for crimes, they pop up 20-30 seconds apart. Like @rubhen925 said, use R3 a lot after each crime you complete, more will spawn in a few seconds.

Trust me, once you complete say 50 or 60 of them, the spawn rate is much slower. For me personally this never failed to spawn crimes. Each one takes a minute or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I did all of the available crimes and after act 2 did the rest, maybe that's why the spawn rate wasn't slower. Thanks anyways.

SyIaris Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) Thank you! Most of mine were closer to the five-minute mark, and after taking over an hour to finish one district... my motivation was pretty dead. Took me 2-3 hours or so to get my last five zones cleared up with this. Edited September 10, 2018 by SyIaris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad it was helpful Trust me. i spent an hour in clearing one district and was about to shelve the game and then tried experimenting. Found this method and now platinum achieved!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracoBlacken Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I dont have this game yet. but you sir are awesome. I will take a look to this again when I buy the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quink666 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Finally finished all street crimes. Was getting annoyed at how long it took. But turning of the Radio guy will save you some time since crime dont spawn during his podcasts. Longest i had to wait while swinging around was 9 minutes one time. But my average was about 2-3 minutes per crime. Still annoying if you only have street crimes left and nothing else to do on the map. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again as many people have told you already Jonas's podcast has zero effect on crimes. I get crimes constantly during his podcasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get a chance (when you buy the game), try to complete all street crimes as soon as Act 2 finishes because they spawn non stop But if you finish the story and are looking for street crimes this is the best way to go about it!

optimusmart Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Nice Rubhen, I have the game but not sure if will ever get round to finishing, it's mainly for the kids, but they do want the costumes How do I know when Act 2 finishes, you said that is the best time to farm them if possible...???? This is exactly how I go about learning simply time effective strategies. I mess about with the game mechanics like you have, and then most the time, while doing that, I just notice something else that makes it all easier, just by chance during the experimenting.

supkris Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Exactly what i was searching for and came here and found this! Works like a charm to. I fast travel to a district and crime pops up every 30 secs to one min. No need to go back and forth too. Takes time only when the annoying JJ starts talking in between. Thanks Ruben Edited September 12, 2018 by supkris Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuukiyun Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Currently in the position where I did everything, except for the crimes, and I have a little over 100 left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Bunface Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Might just be random luck, but I seem to have gotten the best result when fast travelling to the police stations. Getting the crimes is by far the most annoying and boring task in this. Taints my experience a bit, but the rest was really awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah would have been great if there were like 80 crimes instead of 165 of them. Kinda overkill imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XjaegerbombX Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) Im 80% done with story, 100% ? for side missions, all fisk tokens and almost all demon tokens, only done a few challenges but that's all.. However.... I haven't gotten a crime call in HOuRS!!! I've reset, I've fast traveled and r3 scanned and nada. Worried cus I wanna completely all the "crime" missions BEFORE I finish story. I'm at the "go check on Dr. Otto" after his crazy voicemail part of story. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
