In Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, finding every collectible hidden across New York City is essential for upgrading gear and acquiring valuable tech parts. Among the various districts, the Upper East Side contains a tricky Underground Cache nestled inside one of the enemy hideouts. Players often miss this specific loot container during their initial combat encounter, leading to confusion when returning later.
Finding the Upper East Side Underground Hideout
The Underground Hideout in the Upper East Side serves as a major base of operations for Tinkerer's faction in the district. Located toward the southeastern portion of the district, the stronghold features multiple waves of heavily armed enemies. Clearing out these foes is the first step toward securing the territory and unlocking unrestricted movement within the hideout area.
Once the combat encounter ends, players can freely explore the surrounding structure to locate hidden items. Utilizing the visor scan ability highlights interactive objects and wall structures in the immediate vicinity. This scanning feature is crucial because the hideout cache is stored behind an environmental obstacle rather than out in the open.
Locating the Hidden Cache Room
To reach the cache, navigate across the upper walkways of the hideout until you locate a wooden plywood wall marked with a painted Underground symbol. Players must break through this barrier using basic melee attacks to open a pathway into the secret alcove. Inside this room, a heavy dumpster blocks direct access to the supply box.
Using Miles' web-grabbing abilities, pull the heavy dumpster completely out of the way. Once the obstacle is cleared, the glowing red Underground Cache will be fully accessible on the floor. Interacting with the chest yields essential Tech Parts and Activity Tokens required for crafting suits and visor mods.
How to Re-Enter the Hideout if Missed
Many players complete the hideout combat encounter without realizing a cache was hidden inside. If you leave the area before collecting it, the hideout doors become locked during standard free-roam gameplay. Thankfully, players can replay the mission directly from the game's main menu or by visiting the hideout marker on the map.
When replaying the hideout mission, defeat the initial wave of enemies to regain access to the interior courtyard. Head back over to the plywood barrier, smash through the wood, and pull the dumpster away as normal. Collecting the chest during a mission replay permanently updates your map progress toward 100 percent district completion.
Tips for 100 Percent District Completion
Securing the hideout cache is only one part of fully completing the Upper East Side district. The region contains four additional caches hidden atop rooftops, inside construction zones, and near local landmarks. Keeping a close eye on the mini-map radar ensures you spot cache indicators while swinging through the neighborhood.
Upgrading your suit mods to enhance scanner range can significantly streamline your search across the skyline. Taking the time to collect every cache guarantees a steady supply of resources for high-tier upgrades. Mastering these location puzzles makes completing Miles' heroic journey through New York smooth and rewarding.
