Captain Quint: Treasure Tracker
Treasure has a way of making people a little unruly. Countless tales from the past (and present) recount people who’ve been killed in the pursuit of a little golden booty. Playing a diver in Depth, you’ll often find treasure scattered around any map. This isn’t just there for decoration or to service some ill-advised achievement. Collecting it always brings something extra to you and your team, making the practice of slaying sharks a little bit easier.
In Megalodon Hunt, treasure is scattered across the seabed like it’s going out of fashion. Golden guns and jewel-encrusted goblets are strewn everywhere you look, just waiting for you to pick them up. Don’t keep them waiting, because collecting these will quickly increase the rank of your weapon. A gigantic shark isn’t going to do much more than scoff at a pathetic peashooter of a pistol. Gather plenty of treasure and you’ll soon be carrying two immensely-powerful spear guns to make the enormous beast think twice.
The other mode of Depth, Blood and Gold, places an even greater importance than Megalodon Hunt on the effective collection of treasure. Dotted across S.T.E.V.E’s path there are numerous pockets where an armful of treasure is just lying on the ground loose. By collecting this and dropping it off with S.T.E.V.E (press Q when close and facing) the entire team gets a small cash boost rather than just yourself.
In both of these cases, treasure in Depth shows its importance. That being said, don’t take too many risks when collecting a coffer’s worth of gold. Experienced shark players will know exactly where the treasure spawns, meaning they will wait until you wander towards it without backup and literally snap you up. If there’s a trove of gold a little too far away from your teammates, let them know so they can keep an eye on you or even provide backup.
