There are a lot of things that Spider-Man 2 doesn't reveal from the get-go. From big surprising moments in its story beats to hidden gameplay mechanics that you have to discover on your own, there are plenty of things that can catch you unexpectedly in Spidey's latest adventure.
Even though Spider-Man 2 is a single-player game, you can actually use emotes to interact with other NPCs in the game. It's one of the hidden features that subtly makes the game more immersive. If you're excited to know how it works, you're in the right place. Here's how you can use emotes in Spider-Man 2.
How Emotes Work In Spider-Man 2
You can use emotes in Spider-Man 2 by pressing the Square button. However, it only works when you're near an NPC, and in other cases, you will just be throwing punches in the air. Walk towards any NPC in NYC and press Square to interact with them. There aren't many varieties, so you will either wave to them, salute them, or do a hilarious dance move; all are absolutely endearing!
It's not much, but it's a neat little way to interact with other NPCs in the world.
