Last update: 11 May 2016
Races
Races are an additional activity available in the game. Several more become available after you complete the active ones. Each time that you complete a race, you receive a poster, available at Comic Stand. After you complete all the races, you receive a new outfit.
After you complete 5 races, you receive the "Fast-Tracker" achievement.
The races come in categories of the easier and the more difficult ones. The easier ones are symbolized with a green circle with spider inside.
To complete an easy race, you need to use the web to jump between the checkpoints, within the allotted time. In the easy race, it is each next point that is the foothold.
The more difficult races have been marked in red. Here, you need to complete the race in the way, in which you score all the checkpoints, but there is no foothold on the red ones. This is why, you need to catch on to the other elements in the area (buildings lampposts). Sometimes, there also appear blue checkpoints - there is a foothold on these.
Combat challenges
At the Comic Stand there is an arcade. It starts combat challenges. They consist in defeating waves of opponents, often with additional requirements, like e.g. a limited number of blows that you take, or deactivated healing ability. There are 12 available challenges and you can complete at any moment, also after you complete the game's story mode, It is best to play them later into the game, with an outfit on a high level and well-developed abilities.
For the rounds that you play, you will be rewarded with concept art and, for completing all of the challenges, you receive the "Luchador" achievement.
