Rust Shark Guide
The new underwater world in Rust now features sharks as well. Each dive site has a chance to spawn a shark that will patrol the area and players need to kill them before claiming the treasures at the dive site. Harvesting them gives you some amount of resources as well. So here's what you need to know before encountering them.
How To Kill Shark In Rust
You can use torpedoes to fend off and kill any shark coming your way. These torpedoes can also be bought or crafted yourself.
The Speargun also comes handy while treasure hunting as you can use it from a distance for protection. It takes two spears to kill a shark. You can learn how to craft a spear gun and ammo from a Level 1 Workbench.
Do note that this weapon can only be fired while underwater and packs a punch similar to a crossbow, but with a slower-moving projectile.
