The Best Way to Find All Spider-Bots in Spider-Man 2
Unlike most of the other collectibles and side activities in Spider-Man 2, the little Spider-Bots won't naturally show up on your in-game map. You'll need to rely on the colorful spheres that pulse from these 42 collectibles to find them—unless you use a thorough guide. Collecting all the Spider-Bots leads to a unique side mission with a pretty big deep cut reference for Spidey fans. You also get 150 XP and 100x Tech Parts for each bot, which is actually a pretty amazing early game bonus!
Spider-Man 2 Spider-Bot Locations Guide
IGN's complete guide on Spider-Bot Locations includes screenshots of each item's location on the in-game map plus images of it in game, so you can see exactly where you need to look. Use the checklists on the page to keep track of which ones you still need—there's even a drop-down menu at the top to quickly see the full checklist.

Spider-Man 2 Spider-Bot Interactive Map
Alternatively, IGN's Spider-Man 2 Interactive Map allows you to easily filter for Spider-Bots; plus, you can keep track of which Spider-Bots you've already collected with a convenient checklist system.
See the full Spider-Man 2 Spider-Bot Locations Interactive Map for the locations of all collectibles.
How to Reveal Spider-Bots In-Game
You can also unlock an ability on the Suit Tech tree for Traversal to have Spider-Bots show up on your mini-map (just the mini-map) in Spider-Man 2. The ability "All Seeing" only specifically mentions revealing Tech Crates, but it will reveal Spider-Bots on your mini-map, as well. It's better than nothing! It'll cost you 220 Tech Parts and 6 Hero Tokens to unlock.
