The Shark to Shark achievement is one of those Marvel Rivals tasks that sounds simple on paper but sends you wandering the map looking confused for longer than you'd like to admit. The good news: once you know exactly where the Charging Jeff statue sits on Lower Manhattan and what you need to do there, the whole thing takes under two minutes. Here's the full breakdown.
What is the Shark to Shark achievement?
Shark to Shark is part of the Chronoverse Saga achievement set introduced with the Lower Manhattan map in Marvel Rivals Season 7. The official description reads: "As Jeff the Land Shark, use 1 emote in front of the Jeff Statue in Lower Manhattan." Completing it awards 5 Achievement Points, making it one of the quicker point grabs tied to this map.
info
This achievement is only available on the Lower Manhattan map, which rotates into the pool randomly. Custom games do not count, so you need a public match in quick play or competitive.

How to complete Shark to Shark
Step 1: Get into a Lower Manhattan match
Map selection in Marvel Rivals is random, so there is no way to force Lower Manhattan into your queue. Queue up for quick match or competitive and wait it out. Custom games will not register the completion, so a public match is required.
Step 2: Pick Jeff the Land Shark
Once Lower Manhattan loads, lock in Jeff the Land Shark before anyone else on your team does. The achievement is character-specific and will not trigger for any other hero. If Jeff gets taken, back out and try again next time the map appears.
Step 3: Find the Charging Jeff statue
The golden Jeff statue sits in the middle of the road near the first spawn room of the team defending the convoy against Kingpin. It is positioned close to three landmarks: Union Allied Construction, the Empire State School of Business, and the Daily Globe.
The fastest route from spawn: exit through the door that leads directly to a snack stand, then turn sharply right and head forward. The statue will be right there in the road.
Step 4: Emote in front of the statue
Stand close to the statue and open your emote wheel, then use any emote. Every hero in Marvel Rivals comes with at least one default emote, so you do not need to own any premium cosmetics to complete this. Any emote works.
One thing worth noting based on player reports documented by marvelrivals.gg: emoting before the match officially begins may not register the achievement. Wait for the match to start before you head for the statue and perform the emote.
What's the best time to go for this achievement?
The window before the convoy starts moving is your best opportunity. The statue is off the main path defenders use to reach the convoy point, so most enemies will not be near it at the start of the match. Head there immediately after spawn, get the emote done, then rotate to the objective.
Once the convoy begins moving, it will eventually pass through the area near the statue. That is technically another window, but you will almost certainly be in active combat by that point, making it much harder to stop and emote without getting eliminated.
