Getting Past the Moonshark into Moonworks

[Do_I_Exist]

I'm having a really annoying time trying to enter Moonworks from the crater, it seems like I just can't avoid the Moonshark getting there, and once it pops up, the Typhon Gate locks it down and I can't enter.

I've tried using the propulsion system to touch just the rocks instead of the lunar surface, but it doesn't seem to work especially well.

I've used up all my sim points and I can't do anything but keep resetting the simulation.

What do I do here? I've spend most of my simpoints on Neuromods because those upgrades are permanent, but I hate that I'm stuck with low sim points now because I've already used the bonuses for the non-repeatable objectives.

Are you aware of the propulsion boost? Double tap the thrust to get a burst of speed in a horizontal direction. I usually use this to hop across rocks and get far away enough to get through the gate. You can also use a Typhon Lure to distract the Moonsharks. I think even thrown objects on the ground will distract it. If you can get hold of an EMP or Disruptor, you can use it on the detector so the gate goes down. If you just want to kill the Moonshark, the tentacles from Typhon Spores or Tentacle Nests are surprisingly effective. Good luck!

Get used to carrying EMP Grenades on each run. Use them on the gate to depower it and slip on through, completely ignoring / evading the Moonshark. Throwing them into the bottom corners of the gate is a mostly reliable way to ensure they don't bounce off, too.

Ah, thanks for the tip with the gates!

On my next run I'll just use one of the lures to pull him away for a moment.

As you approach the gate, get on top of the rocks on the right side; you can even stay there safely (on the rock nearest to the gate) if the shark pops up, then just wait for it to leave and deactivate the gate.
On later runs I simply used the stun gun to get past the gates quickly. It's a very efficient way of doing it as you don't really need those for much anything else.

You get sim points from just about everything. Even without the objectives you can still earn a lot (IE: 100k+) in a run.

Kill stuff. In corruption level 1 there's a bunch of easy to kill enemies in the Crater, including Harvesters.

For the Moonshark and Typhon gates: all electric ability or weapons will disable the gate (use it on the console) for a short period of time.
