Search the Upper Lake's shallow horizontal bands and approach the small aggressive group with the correct Jungle Gun mode.
Updated July 25, 2026 · 5 min readQuick answer
Red-Bellied Piranha is a shallow freshwater fish. Sweep the Upper Lake from 0–35 m, paying particular attention to the far-right passages and the bands around roughly 15–29 m.
The fish usually attacks in a small group. Use net mode for live quality if your upgrade can hold it; otherwise use controlled rifle shots and avoid pulling the whole group at once.
Stay in the shallow biome rather than descending toward the deeper lake chambers.
Check the horizontal water lanes and plant-covered edges between approximately 15 and 29 m.
Player routes repeatedly place the piranha group toward the right side of the shallow map.
If the group is absent, leave and re-enter rather than searching lower biomes.
Approach slowly and fire before the group surrounds Dave. Net mode is the preferred live-capture option for a compatible target. If the net does not hold at your current upgrade level, separate one fish and use the rifle at controlled range.
