🔫Gun Progression
Early Game (Level 1–10)
Start with Bottle Gun (free). Upgrade to Wooden Gun ($150) ASAP. Save $1,050 for Advanced Gun — massive DPS upgrade!
Mid Game (Level 10–20)
Advanced Gun ($1,050) is your workhorse. Next target: Harpoon Gun ($3,500).
Late Game (Level 20+)
Work towards Plunger Gun (highest DPS) for maximum efficiency.
⚔️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.
