Sharky Shell

Sharky Shell was a Landmark in Fortnite: Battle Royale added in Chapter 2: Season 3, to the island Apollo. It stands as a ruin of what was once The Shark, after the flood destroyed the location, leaving it in a now decayed state. Recognizable points, like the shark's mouth, boarding dock, and Vault are all still relatively intact. It can be found directly north of Coral Castle and west of Pleasant Park.
During Chapter 2: Season 3, the water level decreased periodically over time, revealing more of Sharky Shell as time went on, until it was completely accessible.
== History ==
=== Chapter 2: Season 3 ===
* Update v13.00
** The map was flooded, almost completely submerging what was once The Shark. Only the top of The Shark's mouth remains above the water.
*Update v13.20
** July 1st, 2020 (Stage 2) - the ruins of Shark are still submerged save for the top of the mouth, although it is more visible in the water from above.
** July 11th (Stage 3) - part of the "roofing" is now visible at the base of the top of the mouth.
** July 18th (Stage 4) - a portion of the outer walls are seen above the newly lowered water level.
*Update v13.30
** July 24th (Stage 5) - majority of the outer walls are now above the water level.
** July 27th (Stage 6) - the entirety of the outer walls, some of the interior, and much of the "tail" of Sharky Shell are now accessible.
** July 30th (Stage 7) - more of the "tail" is accessible, and the surrounding beach is mostly uncovered. The interior is also almost completely water-free.
** August 1st (Stage 8) - Sharky Shell is completely uncovered by water now. It also now borders the northern part of Coral Castle. It remains this way as of Chapter 2: Season 7. 
=== Chapter 2: Season 6 ===
* Update v16.00
** A Bunker Chest is and the parts to complete an Agent Jones style quest have been added respectively to the ventilation area and a northern part of the location.
* Update v16.50
=== Chapter 2: Season 7 ===
* Update v17.00
** All Bunker Chests have been removed from the game, including the one located here.
* Update v17.10 Hotfixes
** July 9th - The looming shadow of The Mothership covers the location on the map as it travels around the island to Coral Castle.
*** Rumors and leaks indicate that as a direct result of this, Sharky Shell will likely not border Coral Castle much longer.
** July 19th - The shadow of The Mothership no longer covers the location on the map.
* Content Update v17.30
** August 12th - An Artifact was added to the lower portion on the elevator.
=== Chapter 2: Season 8 ===
* The End - Sharky Shell, along with the entirety of Apollo is flipped, removing the landmark from the game.
=== Chapter 3: Season 3 ===
* Update v21.00
** The Shark's head from Sharky Shell/The Shark has returned at the southwestern part of Artemis as Unnamed Shark Head.
== Sky Platform ==
Sky Platforms were unnamed floating platforms in added with Season 9 in Fortnite: Battle Royale. They are all but removed from the game save for one that can only be found in Battle Lab. It does not function the way the other Sky Platforms used to, and it is located very northwest of Sharky Shell, which is the nearest location on the map to it. It is currently unclear as to why it is found there, but it currently serves no purpose despite having the appearance of being able to teleport players to specific locations.

== Trivia ==
* Other loot to be found here include 2 Produce Boxes, 2 Fishing Barrels, and 11 Slurp Barrels in the entirety of the location.
* A common theory surrounding the fate of The Shark's residents is that they escaped prior to the flooding/destruction. This is suggested because when Choppas were added to new locations following C2S2, the landmark never received a spawn location, despite a helipad being present.
** This is not confirmed though.
* Interestingly, even though Sharky Shell is not a Henchmen POI, there initially was a Phone Booth which would allow the plater to disguise themselves as a GHOST Henchmen. This is likely because Epic Games briefly forgot to remove it when updating The Shark (which was a Henchmen POI), as it was later removed.
* On an island bordering Coral Castle and on Coral Cove lie two telescopes both looking at Sharky Shell, with two Porta-Potties that can be used to travel between them.
** At least one of them used to be able to travel to and from The Shark, before the flood.
** Sometimes these Porta-Potties cannot be seen in Replay Mode.
* This is a spawn location for Loot Sharks.
* The reason for its destruction may be because of a possible prisoner, Splode, who could have blown up part of the prison whilst attempting an escape.
** This is supported by the Splode AI spawning at the Unremarkable Shack for both Seasons 5 and 6, which is close to the location.
* In the Agent Jones Quests, three hologram projectors depict Agent Jones jumping, crouching, and flossing. The player must repeat these motions with their character (the flossing indicates emoting) while following a Rift Butterfly in order to receive the Jump 23 style for Agent Jones.
* A bug exists where the Bunker Chest may still be available to see in Replay Mode, despite it not actually being in-game.
* On the bottom floor of the location, there is a clear echo that can be heard whenever the player does anything that produces noise.
* It is one of the last places on the map with an GHOST logo, with the other two being Crash Site and GHOST Big Shots.
** Not including the likely accidental inclusion of a GHOST mug in Defiant Dish.
