Riding a Shark in Fortnite is one of the easiest accolades available in the game. Many players who played the game back in Chapter 2 Season 3 know how to do this, but new players have never encountered these animals before.

The good news is that the accolade can be finished very quickly; however, there are a few steps you need to take to gain control over the beast.

1) Obtain a Fishing Rod

Once you obtain the Fishing Rod, you will need to use it. You simply need to get to the water and cast it, then wait for the Shark to bite it.

If you notice a Shark nearby, you can approach it and cast the rod next to it. However, you need to be careful and try not to get hit by the animal.

As soon as the Shark approaches your bait, you will be able to control it and use it to move quickly over the map. While riding a Shark in Fortnite, you can jump and also gain a speed boost.

Besides additional mobility, Loot Sharks can be used to attack enemy players. Considering they have a large health pool of 2,000 hit points and that they deal 50 damage per hit, they can cause a lot of trouble for new and inexperienced players.
