How to Unlock the Shark to Shark Achievement in Marvel Rivals

How to Unlock the Shark to Shark Achievement in Marvel Rivals

I had three seconds before the convoy left and a match turned into chaos. I sprinted through spawn, spotted the gold figure, and froze—this was the moment. The Jeff statue is a lighthouse in a foggy block of skyscrapers.

Spawn rooms are always noisy with last-second picks. How to complete Shark to Shark in Marvel Rivals

You want the Shark to Shark achievement, and you want it fast. I’ll walk you through the exact moves so you don’t waste rounds or give up because someone else picked Jeff first.

  • Win the map lottery: visit Lower Manhattan. Each round chooses a map at random, so this step takes patience and repetition. If you play on Steam, PlayStation, or Xbox, queue until the match gives you Lower Manhattan.
  • Pick Jeff the Land Shark. The achievement requires you to be Jeff. If another player grabs him, keep trying; matches are short enough that you’ll rotate back into a round soon.
  • Find the statue near the spawn. It sits in the middle of the road close to Union Allied Construction, the Empire State School of Business, and the Daily Globe. You’ll usually spot it before the convoy starts moving.
  • Perform any emote while standing near the statue. Open Jeff’s emote wheel and use one. If the achievement doesn’t register right away, move a few steps and try two or three different emotes—the trigger can be picky mid-match.

Do I have to be Jeff to get Shark to Shark?

Yes. The game checks that the emote comes from Jeff specifically. If you try the same emote with another hero it won’t count. Treat Jeff as a temporary pick when you see Lower Manhattan on the map.

The street outside spawn is the quickest route to the statue. Jeff statue location in Marvel Rivals

Start inside the first spawn room where your team defends the convoy. Exit through the door that opens onto a snack stand, take a sharp right, and walk straight into the road. The large, shiny golden Jeff statue sits dead center.

This statue is easiest to reach when you’re on the team defending the convoy against Kingpin. If you’re on the other side, you’ll have to cross into enemy territory or wait until the convoy passes by later, which is risky during heavy fighting.

Where is the Jeff statue in Lower Manhattan?

It’s in the middle of the road close to Union Allied Construction and the Daily Globe, a short jog from the defending team’s first spawn. If you’ve ever used Moyens I/O’s maps, this spot lines up with the snack stand exit.

The map becomes crowded quickly once the convoy moves. Use one emote in front of the Jeff statue in Lower Manhattan in Marvel Rivals

Stop and do the emote before the convoy leaves. Emoting while the fight is on is risky; enemies are more likely to cancel your animation than to let you finish and collect the achievement.

Any emote counts as long as it’s Jeff’s. Every hero has a default emote, so even if you don’t own extra emotes or skins, you’ll still be able to complete this. Completing the emote is a final exclamation point on a chaotic match.

What emote counts for Shark to Shark?

Any of Jeff’s emotes will do. If one animation fails to register, try another. On consoles and PC the emote wheel behaves slightly differently, so pick one method and repeat it a couple times if the achievement is stubborn.

If you’re hunting achievements across platforms—Steam, PlayStation Network, Xbox Live—or reading strategy posts on sites like Moyens I/O, this is one of the fastest and cleanest collectibles to snag.
