How to get Shark to Shark achievement in Marvel Rivals

There are many unique locations you can explore while battling it out against other players in Marvel Rivals. Most of these maps have some fun secrets for you to uncover, which also tend to be tied to achievements like Shark to Shark.

Like most achievements, this one only gives you some vague instructions and not quite enough information to figure out how to tackle it on your own. Luckily, it’s not too difficult to check off once you understand what’s being asked of you, so here’s how to get the Shark to Shark achievement in Marvel Rivals.

How to complete Shark to Shark in Marvel Rivals

To complete the Shark to Shark achievement in Marvel Rivals, you need to perform one emote as Jeff the Land Shark while standing close to the Jeff statue on the Lower Manhattan map. Emoting is easy enough, but finding this statue and performing an emote as the right character can be a bit trickier to tackle. Here’s how to get it done.

• Visit the Lower Manhattan map. The map chosen in each round is random, and there’s no way to control it, so this part of the journey comes down to luck.
• Select Jeff as your character. You have to pose as a shark next to the shark statue, so you need to be Jeff for this mission. If someone else chooses him first, you’ll have to try again in a different round.
• Find the Jeff statue. It’s in the middle of the road, close to Union Allied Construction. We’ve got more detailed instructions for finding it below if you’re having trouble.
• Perform an emote by the statue. Select any of Jeff’s emotes from the wheel while standing near the statue. These types of achievements are sometimes a bit finicky, so I recommend moving around a bit and trying at least three or so different emotes in unique spots by the statue to make sure it gets done.

Jeff statue location in Marvel Rivals

The Jeff statue is situated in the middle of the road, close to the first spawn room of the team that’s trying to stop Kingpin and guard the convoy. It’s a large, shiny golden statue sitting close to some key buildings, including Union Allied Construction, the Empire State School of Business, and the Daily Globe.

To find the statue, start inside the first spawn room. From this spot, exit through the door that leads right out to a snack stand. Once you’re outside, make a sharp right and proceed forward to find the golden Jeff statue in the middle of the road.

It’s a bit out of the way, as you’ll want to head straight rather than turning right to get to the convoy point you need to defend. Once the convoy gets moving, though, you’ll end up passing by this statue anyway, but you’ll likely be deep in battle at this point, so it’s best to get it out of the way before things get too serious.

This statue is easiest to find when you’re on the side that is guarding the convoy and trying to stop Kingpin. If you’re not on this side, you’ll have to venture into enemy territory all the way on the other side of the map to find it before the fight gets going, so it’s quite a daunting task to tackle.

Generally, it’s best to just keep playing and trying your luck until you’re on the right side for this mission rather than attempting to get it done from the wrong side. If not, you can try to get it done when the convoy is passing by this area later on, but stopping to emote in battle is pretty tough, so it might not be doable.

Use one emote in front of the Jeff statue in Lower Manhattan in Marvel Rivals

For the Shark to Shark achievement, all you need to do is perform one emote by the Jeff statue. Any emote you like works for this quest, as long as you are playing as Jeff when performing it. Even if you don’t usually play Jeff, you have at least one available emote to use here, as all heroes come with a default one.

While you’re already out and about exploring the Lower Manhattan map, be sure to tackle the Cellblock Chat achievement, too. And if you’re up for some more tricky feats around other key locations, consider working on Secret Stash, Days of Future Past, Arrako Goes Analog, and Whispers in Pieces next.

Prototype gears have arrived in The Division 2 with the start of Year 8 Season 1, and they currently sit at the top of all types of weapons/armors. Gears belonging to this item quality sit above High-End, Named, and other set items, making them truly unique.

Let’s find out how you can get these elusive items to improve your arsenal.

How to obtain Prototype gears in The Division 2

To obtain Prototype gears, you’ll need to participate in missions belonging to the Escalation mode. This is a new difficulty to complete missions that you’ve previously completed inside the game. Every week will have a set number of missions to finish.

There are ten different tiers for each mission. The higher the difficulty, the better your chances of getting Prototype gears. However, you can also get more of these items via the route of upgrades.

How to upgrade to Prototype gears in The Division 2

You can upgrade items starting from High-End quality to Prototype gear. To do so, you’ll need a Prototype Core. The cosen item must also be at the maximum Expertise level (30), and the item must be at maximum level (40). The item doesn’t need to be full optimized for the conversion.

Once you change an item to Prototype gear, it can no longer be optimized or recalibrated. Hence, pay full attention to its stats before spending the Prototype Core on it. However, the upgrade is worth it since your gear will improve its stats and also gain augments.

Here’s a list of augments that are currently available.

• Quantum – Provides a small chance to become temporarily immune to damage.
• Echo – Each bullet fired has a chance to deal its damage a second time.
• Atomize – Increases grenade radius and damage.
• Amalgam – Each bullet hit has a chance to apply a random status effect.
• Trapper – Increases the duration of status effects you apply.
• Entropy – Increases your Health based on a percentage of your total Armor.
• Anomaly – Skills restore a portion of the damage they deal as healing.
• Paradox – Provides a chance to refill part of your magazine while firing.
• Synesthesia – Bullet hits have a chance to slightly reduce skill cooldowns.
