Mission: Escort them Out

Learn how to successfully complete the 'Escort them Out' mission in Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. This guide covers enemy tactics and civilian rescue strategies.

Alright, so you've got an escort mission ahead of you in Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, and these can definitely get your blood pressure up! Basically, you're going to be riding shotgun with a SHIELD APC as it cruises around the city, picking up folks who are in a jam. The catch? This APC is pretty vulnerable – it can't fight and move at the same time. Your job is to keep those enemies off its back and defeat any that get too close, otherwise, it's game over.

The first group of civilians you need to worry about are inside a building you'll reach after you've been moving with the APC for a bit. Don't stress too much about protecting them initially, as they're safe inside. Just stick close to the APC and be ready to fend off any enemies that try to get too close. Once the civilians are out and safely on board, you can relax a little. A quick tip: try not to spam your web strikes too much during this part. It can leave you too far from the APC, and that's exactly when it's most likely to get attacked.

Things get a bit trickier with the second group. You'll need to escort them down a street, keeping them safe away from the APC. Your main focus here should be on the Black symbiotes. They're super fast and can really mess up the civilians, while the white ones are a bit easier for the civilians to handle on their own. When a wave of enemies drops in from a building above, try to web strike one and aim it so the shockwave sends them tumbling down. This way, they'll land where the civilians can help you take them out. Once that wave is cleared, head back to the APC.

The final group of civilians is just a short distance down the street from the last encounter. This time, there are only three of them, but they're up on a building and you've got to carry them down. As soon as the cutscene ends, swing over and use a web strike to climb up the building faster. For now, ignore any other enemies on the roof and get the first civilian back to the APC. Then, go back for the second civilian. This time, make sure to clear out any enemies on the roof before you bring them down. After that, take out any remaining enemies around the APC before you go after the last civilian on the roof. Once that final person is safe (or, well, dealt with), the mission will be over.
