⚔️ Combat Techniques
Leading Shots
Fish move fast. Aim slightly ahead of moving fish to compensate for harpoon travel time.
Close Range
Get closer to fish for easier hits. Most guns have good accuracy at close range.
Target Priority
Focus on high-value fish first. Check the fish guide for prices and rarities.
Oxygen Management
Don't chase fish too far. Always keep track of your oxygen and return time.
