PUBG Mobile x Spider-Man Collaboration: Full Guide to Central Square, Powers and Rewards

Spider-Man is back in PUBG Mobile, and this mode hits harder than most movie tie-ins. Erangel now holds a full skyscraper district. Two wearable items change how you move through it. There is also a new throwable, a handful of scripted movie scenes and a reward track that costs nothing. Let’s follow LDShop, as below we cover the dates, every power that actually works, the quickest way to gear up, the locations worth a detour and the drop tactics that hold up in real matches.

Event Window and How to Access It

The event lines up with the Spider-Man: Brand New Day film. It is also Spidey's second visit to PUBG Mobile, after the No Way Home crossover back in 2022. Everything runs on Erangel. You pick the mode from the mode select screen, not from a separate lobby.

Worth knowing before you plan a last-day grind. The mode window and the campaign window do not match, and a few regional pages list slightly different closing times. Open the in-game event tab and check yours. While you are in there, run through the active PUBG Mobile redeem codes as well. Collab periods usually bring a fresh batch.

Central Square: The New City District

Central Square is the main attraction. Picture skyscrapers, rooftops tied together by ziplines and a lot of vertical fighting. Early articles called the place Skyline Plaza. In game it shows up as Central Square.

Two things stand out once you land there. First, the tall buildings have no usable interiors. All loot sits on rooftops and on the ground around the towers. Second, ziplines run everywhere, both ground-to-roof and roof-to-roof. They are fast, and honestly faster than swinging over short gaps.

A tip from repeated drops: always aim for the tallest tower, especially the one with the large clock face. Height gives you early information on where enemies landed, and it puts you above the first rotation. Ziplines do leave you fully exposed, so cross them only after clearing the far rooftop.

Peter Parker's Gloves: Web Swing and Web Attack

The Gloves are the traversal item. Equip them and you get two functions.

• Web Swing: attach to buildings and structures to move across the map at height.
• Web Attack: fire webs at enemies to deal damage and slow them, with repeated hits temporarily trapping the target.

The big improvement over the 2022 version is that you no longer need a fixed anchor in front of you. You can trigger a swing in open ground and keep momentum. An energy meter sits on screen and drains with continuous use, then refills fairly quickly once you stop.

The strongest use is not travel, it is the mid-air weapon swap. Swing over a squad, cancel into your rifle before landing and open fire while they are still turning. That single sequence wins more rooftop fights than any amount of ground repositioning. Your gun choice matters a lot here, so pick something with a fast time to kill from the current PUBG weapon tier list before you commit to close rooftop drops.

Peter Parker's Hoodie: Wall Climbing and Spider Sense

The Hoodie handles vertical movement and information.

• Wall climbing, wall running and ceiling traversal across almost any surface, including trees
• Double jump for extra distance on gap crossings
• Spider Sense, which reveals footprints left by other players

Spider Sense is the underrated half of this collaboration. Footprints display the player ID and when the trail was left, which turns a blind compound into a readable one. Treat it as timing data, not a chase signal. A trail two minutes old means the enemy already rotated. A fresh one means someone is holding the building you are about to enter.

Combining both items is where the mode gets serious. Climb a wall unseen, drop a Web Attack to pin a rotating player, then swing out before their squad locates you.

Web Grenade and Themed Loot

A Web Grenade joins the throwable pool. It creates a webbed patch that slows and restricts anyone inside. Use it on doorways and zipline landing points rather than open ground.

You will also find themed supply sources across the city:

• Web-wrapped loot boxes scattered around the event zone
• Larger themed crates, including one on the tallest rooftop
• Movie-themed backpacks holding standard supplies
• Spider-Man: Brand New Day Air Drops

Both the Gloves and the Hoodie come from these crates. The rooftop crate on the clock tower usually hands over both at once, which saves several minutes of searching. Do not leave the district after a fight either, because the loot density here beats most Erangel compounds.

Themed Locations Worth Visiting

Location	What you will find
Central Square	Skyscrapers, ziplines, themed crates, heaviest fighting
Peter Parker's Apartment	A ringing phone with a Spider-Man voicemail, plus his desk setup, which lets you craft fresh Gloves and Hoodie on the spot
Cemetery Tribute Zone	Spider-Man appears at the grave, and you can collect flowers and pay respects
Train Rescue Sequence	A scripted recreation of the classic rescue moment
Rescue Photo Zone	An aerial rescue scene followed by a photo opportunity tied to achievements

The apartment is the useful one. The crafting station means you never have to gamble on crate luck again after your first visit. The cemetery is pure fan service, with no extra loot, so treat it as a detour and not a landing spot.

Hidden tribute points also sit across the map. Spider-Man occasionally appears near them, leaves rewards and vanishes.

Free Rewards and Event Track

Krafton kept a decent chunk of this collaboration free, which is not always the case with movie tie-ins.

Reward	How to get it
Spider Descent emote	Log in and play matches on August 1 and 2
Themed avatar and avatar frame	Brand New Day Quiz Challenge
Collaboration ticket	Brand New Day Quiz Challenge
Peter Parker's hoodie cosmetic, parachute finish	Daily logins and event missions
Movie-themed avatars and frames	"Friendly Neighbor" story arc chapters

Open the event tab and clear both Quiz Missions and Match Missions before your first game. Several rewards sit entirely inside the free route, so confirm what you already qualify for before spending anything. Lucky Spins and premium crates run alongside, but they are optional. If a specific collaboration cosmetic sits outside the free track and you still want it, buy PUBG Mobile UC only after you have confirmed the exact item and its cost. The best platform to make the top-up is LDShop, it lets players top up for less and it is a great way to save money.

Practical Drop Strategy

We have found a simple pattern works best in this PUBG Mobile mode:

1. Land on the tallest tower and open the rooftop crate for both items immediately.
2. Clear nearby rooftops using height advantage before dropping to ground level.
3. Loot the district fully, since squads leave early and waste the supply density.
4. Use ziplines for short rotations and save web energy for escapes.
5. Read Spider Sense trails before entering any building, then commit or reroute.

Avoid swinging across open ground in late circles. You become a slow, loud, highly visible target, and no amount of movement tech beats a scoped rifle at 200 metres.

World of Wonder Support

The collaboration also reaches PUBG Mobile's creator tool. A Central Square based template is now available, and it includes access to both Peter Parker's Gloves and Hoodie. Creators can build swinging courses, rooftop races and custom crossover fights using the same mechanics. That keeps the movement systems playable even after the main event closes.

Conclusion

The Spider-Man collaboration works because the powers change decisions, not just visuals. Web swinging rewrites rotations, wall climbing opens angles that never existed on Erangel, and Spider Sense gives you information you normally have to guess at. Grab the Gloves and Hoodie from the rooftop crate early, learn the mid-air weapon swap, and treat footprints as timing rather than an invitation. Clear the free reward track first, then decide whether any paid item is worth it. The mode closes on September 1, so there is still time to get comfortable with it before Erangel goes back to normal.
