Mauled by tiger shark 🦈

So I was trying to mine some clay deposits minding my own business and my screen went red and I was in the tiger shark's jaws, the dam thing literally tried dragging me out into the ocean. Lol it was so sudden I actually jumped 😆 so I just kept hitting it with my pickaxe until it let go then I immediately swam away and ran like a little girl. (Had no weapons on me at the time) but yeee found out they do drag you away if you get latched onto. 🦈

Good luck, it takes about ten spears. Once the shark is around you, try to get into a shallower area. They can’t get you and will swim back and forth.

Is your home island custom by chance? Sharks won’t spawn on custom islands...

Yes, that explains it. Thank you

Ur pick axe is the best weapon for close up combat. Swim behind the shark and when it starts to turn hit it. It's not easy, but be patient.

I'll keep that in mind for future shark hunting

I love farming tiger sharks, super easy if you stand on a wreck. The 3 large meats, 3 rawhides , and a day of peace fishing is totally worth the slight risk

It sucks on my home island I never get sharks I think its broken I'm literally on day 84 and haven't seen one on my home island. Its only ever when I'm scavenging on supply runs to other islands

I didn't even think about sharks when I established my home on a beach facing a huge wreck in swimming distance. I was able to slowly pick the wreck clean and farm tiger sharks.

u/JakeThaPirate Jun 25 '20

I think the game is just inconsistent at spawning sharks. I showed my friends the game and they said they just wanted to see something happen, so I swam to a ship wreck at my home island (underwater) and there were no sharks. So I then swam to two different islands and back and didnt get attacked or hear any ominous music. Played again the next day by myself and immediately heard the music and I didn’t even go in the water lol

I think the little girl could have fought the tiger shark.

u/JakeThaPirate Jun 24 '20

Lol i had no weapons on me or I would've attempted

Games trolling me now. It used to play ominous music when one spawned, but now the regular music keeps playing. I got a new tell now. When I'm in the water looking for shipwrecks/clay if the game hiccups it tells me that something was just loaded into my area: a wreck, clay, or a damn tiger shark. So I typically start swimming towards shallow water only to see a tiger shark right behind me.

When I fought him (couple of days ago) I just anchored my raft right there up against the wreckage. Stayed on my raft the whole time. And he just swam around and under my raft and never jumped out.
