Here’s how you can ride sharks in Fortnite Season 3.
At the end of the Fortnite season 2 live event, The Device, the storm was replaced with a wall of water that would move in. Players could spot sharks in the water, hinting towards them being added to the game in season 3.
A day before season 3 went live, an advertisement on TikTok featuring shark shadows was posted all over Twitter and Reddit. With the sharks in the water at the end of season 2 and the advertisement teaser, it was almost certain sharks would play a part in the third season of chapter 2.
Epic Games launched season 3 yesterday and loot sharks are a hot topic right now as players discover that they can jump quite far out of the water, can break builds very easily, and they are responsible for a large number of eliminations so far this season.
As given away by the name, loot sharks provide players with loot once they’ve been killed. The look varies, but as it takes some time and risk to take them out, you should see some Epic and Legendary weapons and items from them.
In the trailer for season 3, you can see one of the characters riding a shark and if you’re not sure how to ride a shark in Fortnite season 3, here’s how.
