To get a pistol in Sons of the Forest, you will have to kill a shark along the way. But to kill the shark, you need a gun. This may seem like a problem, but don’t worry, the answer to this question is very simple. So, here’s how you can easily kill a shark in Sons of the Forest.
How to kill sharks in Sons of the Forest
You can kill sharks using both spears and guns in Sons of the Forest. Although the spears are a little inefficient, if used correctly they will get the job done. Using a gun is the easiest way to get rid of sharks. But you will also lose some precious ammo. So you have to decide if it’s worth it. Here’s what you need to do:
- Equip your spear or pistol. You can use quick slots or equip them from inventory.
- spear use
- Wait for the Shark to swim past you.
- Aim at his head and throw a spear.
- When you get to the right place, you can kill him with just one spear.
- If you get into his body and still watch him swim, then either spawn more copies or wait for him to leave.
- Gun use
- It’s a bit tricky because the raft you take the gun on is in the ocean where there is a shark that can attack you at any moment.
- Swim to the raft without being attacked by the shark.
- Take the pistol, then equip it.
- Now, as soon as you notice a shark swimming by, just shoot it. Try aiming for the head.
- Both of these methods work equally well for killing sharks.
Apart from the ocean, the other area where you will encounter the shark is where you will get the rebreather. So this is another place where you should go prepared.
