Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Photo Ops rewards

Since Photo Ops are quick tasks, you get 150 XP and 2 City Tokens as rewards for each photo in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. While this may look less, doing a Photo Op is still worth it since some extra City Tokens can help you upgrade or buy a new suit.

And if you get all the 23 photos, you’ll earn the New York, New York Trophy. In older titles, the reward was 100 XP and a hidden ESU suit that players would get after taking all 50 photos.
