The side of the aggressor – playing as the Shark in Depth is very fun and engaging to say the least, so you need to understand the way the shark mechanics work in order to become more effective in utilizing the time spent as a shark. This will be a basic guide on Shark gameplay in Depth.
Tips
- Every shark is different, you should play, first of all, and try to find the things that work best for you. The first thing to do is to deny gold.
- Communication with the partner. Stamina is very precious when the divers are in a pack, save it as much as possible to be as dangerous as possible. Your timings should be similar. You can’t go in and simply die, you need to kill at least one diver if possible.
- Avoid being seen. The divers have a short seeing range, so they utilize buoys, flares and other weaponry to detect you. Kill the buoys, dodge the flares.
- Target the loner. If you go and fight a pack of divers you’ll likely to suffer. Try to pick off the loner who’s looting gold or trying to get kills. Divers abuse terrain so be prepared and utilize the same features for your advantages. Picking off single prey is clever, just like in real life. Try to strike at the moment when the line of sight is out of reach and they can barely or can’t see him.
- Be “predatorous” – attack from different angles, at different speeds, don’t be repetitive because the divers will expect that. Moving should be your most important weapon, you have to be constantly in motion.
- T.E.V.E. – hit it to stop it. It is the best way to win, damage Steve or if you’re playing against noobs, exceed their lives limit. STEVE heals after becoming low, so don’t be timid in attacking it.
Sharknado
So to be a great shark you have to be one step ahead. A shark is a deadly predator and thus must always see or feel his prey nearby. He can’t be predictable and shouldn’t involve himself in face to face confrontations and should rather wait for the prey to slip and make a mistake. This is how you become a great shark player in depth.
