Stick Together
In both gameplay modes, divers outnumber the sharks by a factor of at least 2 to 1. That doesn’t mean they have the upper hand, however. Alone, a diver is no match for the knife-jawed gob of a hungry Great White. Two divers working together can easily make short work of any shark, though. If they watch over one another with a hand firmly on the trigger, sharks will find it incredibly difficult to make a tasty morsel out of these treasure hunters.
Most of the locations S.T.E.V.E makes a stop at to start digging around for treasure have numerous entry points available to both teams. By covering an entry point each, divers can quickly make their teammates aware of incoming Tiger Sharks. A good shark won’t simply charge in so use this to your advantage. Cover all of the possible angles of attack to dissuade potential shark invasions and you could find that no fin-bearing chompers are going to find themselves gorged with tasty diver flesh.
A unified attack by two sharks is still going to leave a few scratches and amputations behind though. To avoid this as best as you can, don’t stay too close together. A thrashing shark with certain upgrades can kill a diver without ever having to chow down on their flesh. Stick with the team and you’ll find that victory is slightly more guaranteed than it was before.
