Loot Sharks are AI Animals / Vehicles in Fortnite: Battle Royale. They were introduced in Chapter 2: Season 3.

Functionality[]

Loot sharks will swim around in water in certain parts of the map. Once they spot a player, a music cue will play to indicate the shark has become hostile. The shark then attempts to jump at the player, regardless of the player’s location. This means it will jump onto land in order to attack the player, and then wriggle back into water, destroying all builds in its way.

Sharks will consume any loot that they come across, and the highest rarity of loot they consume, will cause the mouth and eyes of the shark to glow that rarity's respective color.

Loot Shark Ride - Gameplay - Fortnite

Shark Ride

The Shark is also rideable by using a Fishing Rod or Pro Fishing Rod. The line of the rod must be thrown in front of the shark, then, when it is caught by the Shark, the player will be pulled behind it like they are water skiing. The Shark can be controlled like a regular vehicle, except it will always be moving forwards. A short speed boost is available by pressing the speed boost key. The Shark doesn't have a firing mechanism, and its only method of attack is an automatic bite when the player drives it into an enemy. If the player spends too much time on land with the shark, the rod will disconnect and the shark will return to being an AI.

If the player chooses not to use the shark as a vehicle, it can be eliminated. Doing so will drop the loot the shark consumed. The shark has 2,000 HP.

Stats[]

The Loot Shark has 2,000 health, both as a vehicle and AI. It deals 50 damage upon biting, and will instantly destroy almost any build it comes into contact with. It seats one player.

Strategy Guide[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite
This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.


  • Avoid using the shark on land for extended periods of time, as they will detach from your rod and become hostile.
  • If you need to complete a challenge which requires 'Damage to Opponents', you can farm a shark for this damage, as it counts as an opponent.
  • If you have many things you need to carry, feed it to a shark and move it into zone, and kill the shark for the loot you need. This is very impractical however.

  • The concept of the killer shark, as well as the music that plays when it attacks, is a reference to the 1975 movie Jaws.
  • Sharks can turn Chrome with a Chrome Splash, or by naturally spawning chromed.
  • In Chapter 2: Season 3, getting an elimination with a Loot Shark rewarded players with a unique Punch Card.
  • Players were able to unlock a Legacy Achievement titled "Shark Repellent" by dealing 1996 damage to loot sharks in Chapter 2, Season 3. This is a reference to a Batman movie that that came out in 1996 where he uses shark repellent to repel a shark.
  • Throwing a Crash Pad at a Loot Shark will cause it to bounce high in the air.
  • Sharks can be abducted with a Saucer and thrown at opponents.
  • Sharks can bounce off a Launch Pad.
  • Sharks were featured multiple times in the Big Bang live event. Despite this, they did not return in Chapter 5.
