Web-Shooters can be used right from the tutorial mission, and you can press R1 during combat to shoot your webs. (spamming is effective but not encouraged).
You’ll be able to see the number of shots you have left at the top right corner. If you use up all your shots, you’ll have to wait for them to refill before you can start shooting again.
