How would you counter a goblin shark???

[EpicGamingGuru]

I just noticed that flares detect the clone of a goblin shark. (This makes no sense at all). The Flare doesn't have a brain nor eyes. It's an inanimate object. So how the hell does it detect a hallcunation??? They should just make it so the flares and bouys detect only the real goblin shark. But aside from this point. How do you counter it?

Shoot it until it is dead.

your suggestion would make Goblin useless
hes really not that hard to counter his clone already dosen't trigger the heartbeat like real shark
and he moves like a dumb bot so yea

Mines and turrets do not react to illusion. Only on the original.

In addition, the illusion does not cause damage and can not catch divers. And the original can. So the illusion can simply be ignored. Your allies must be prepared to save their comrade, that's all.

You could say that it's not a flare detecting a hallucination, but a mass-hallucination of divers thinking they see a shark detected by a flare.

Wait till it grabs a teammate or shoot the shark thats acting unlike a bot

yeah its a big counter to any shark when people just get on corners to deny any chance to escape, at that point the game becomes just a trade between kills.

I'm 99% sure that turrets do react to the illusion.

As far as a counter goes, I recommend tagging in order to keep track of the real shark when it hits-and-runs. That tag will keep it off your back for several seconds because as long as it's active, the clones won't fool you. Plus the goblin is a little clumsy so if you tag it, you'll have a good chance of seeing and shooting it down as it escapes into open water.

No gold, then. Also, if sharks coordinate their attacks a bit, they will get kills anyway - and they can get, e.g. razor teeth or strong tail and corner camping will not do any good any more.

You have to remember that the Flare doesn't "Actually Detect" the Clone you as the Diver Precieve that it does because it's a Hallunciation
