The Atomic Shark is the fourth !! shark in Hungry Shark World. He is the second smallest !! tier shark with the second lowest health. He can be purchased with 540,000 coins or 500 gems.

Description

Like any other !! shark, he can equip up to 3 pets at a time and can break purple crystal walls. During gold rush, his points multiplier is 8X.

The Atomic Shark shares similar design characteristics to the Tiger Shark but seems to have undergone a radioactive mutation. His jaw has differently sized teeth all over his mouth. The shark has two legs and two arms instead of fins and has green canisters going into it. He has green eyes and a broken chain on his tail with three fins. He has a bar code on the right side of his right lower tail fin and the same bar code on the left side of his left lower tail fin.

An Enemy Atomic Shark can be found in the leftmost chamber of the sewers in South China Sea. It is green instead of orange and is the second most dangerous enemy shark in the game.

Abilities

Due to his small size, he can go into the Swimming Pool in Pacific Islands and small tunnels where larger sharks can't fit through. He is the first shark with the ability to actually "crawl" on land (second is Drago the Pliosaur, and third is Mr Snappy). Toxic barrels that damage other sharks charge him up making him swim faster. Instantly fills up during a gold rush. Also, he's one of the only sharks that can eat red jellyfish, the other being Meltdown Shark.

Diet

The Atomic Shark can eat anything except for Lion Jellyfish, Mega mines, Ultra mines, and Proximity mines

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Doesn't take beaching damage like Killer Whale (HSW).
• Travels quickly on land.
• Has a good bite for his tier.
• The one of the only three sharks that can eat red jellyfish.
• Doesn't take damage from toxic substances, instead he gets healed and given a speed boost.
• Can fit through smaller cracks, unlike other !! Tier sharks.
• Cheaper than most !! sharks.
• Works well with the Samurai outfit and the legendary warrior set (it can only be earned with Splash Pass season 1)
• One of the best !! sharks for his size
• Very powerful in South China Sea.

Cons:

• Has an extremely quick health drain (in fact so quick that your boost drains slower)
• Not much health for shark his size
• Very slow speed without being charged
• When the Recycler cannon is equipped, the shark cannot charge (cannon sucks up toxic gas from toxic barrels)
• Low health for his tier
• Slow boost speed
• Charge only lasts for 30 seconds.
• Sometimes charge ability won't work.

Tips:

• Enhance yourself with nuclear waste as much as possible to make up for Atomic Shark's mediocre stats.
• The Arabian Sea is the best map for this shark because the massive amount of pollution.
• Don't use the Recycling Cannon on this shark, because the cannon sucks up nuclear waste, which is how to activate this shark's ability. (In fact, Recycling Cannon has little impact on Atomic Shark, and Atomic Shark will be fully charged during the gold rush）
