How to unlock the Apex Predator achievement in Prey - Definitive Guide

Moon shark is a new type of enemy introduced with the Mooncrash DLC. After escaping for the first time with your first character, they'll start to appear on the crater area of the map. Moon sharks are pretty resisting against firearms, so here's a few ways to kill them without much hassle.

1- Using the volunteer (Andrius Alekna), use kinetic blast from a vantage point and take cover in between attacks. A few successful blasts should kill it.

2- Throw a typhoon lure close to a tentacle nest. The tentacle nest will kill the moon shark for you effortless. Alternatively, you can also use the a typhoon tentacle grenade (the name escapes me) and throw it at the moon shark, the result should be roughly the same.

3- Grab hold of a psy blade (you can find an elite psy blade in Pytheas Lab in the room next to the one with the mimic portal) and attack the moon shark from mid-range

The Engineer's (Joan Winslow) Turret can also take out the Moon Shark if positioned on elevated ground.

The psy blade will kill him in two hits on corruption level 5. It is easily the best weapon in the dlc although the only drawback to it is the range.

I could not get #2 to work. The tentacles killed the moon shark but there was no credits given in the left corner. Also set up a non-Engineer torrent a different run, which also killed the moon shark, but it didn't register. Ended up slowly chipping away as the volunteer

This achievement didn't unlock for me using 2 turrents (one companion) so i'll try it next with the volunteer.

Easiest way for me: buy a Typhon spore, toss it at the shark, wait until over half its health is gone, then empty your pistol into it to get credit for the kill.

This achievement is missable.

Once you have escaped the Moonbase simulation for the first time, you will then be introduced to the Moonshark on your subsequent playthrough. This Typhon enemy roams the Crater area of the Moonbase, is a little smaller than a Nightmare, and deals a devastating amount of damage, including bleeding trauma.

The easiest way to get this achievement is to wait until you have unlocked the Engineer (she will be available for use after escaping with the Volunteer on your first run) and using her turret against the Moonshark. This is best done by entering the Crater of the Moonbase to trigger the Moonshark and then backing up into the corridor you just exited. Summon your turret on the walkway ahead of you and poke your head out long enough to lure the Moonshark to your position. At this point, the turret should open fire on the Typhon and chip away at its health.

Please note the following: first, you may have to lure the Moonshark out a few times (it may flee after taking a bit of damage); second, the Moonshark may hurl rocks at your turret while its firing, which means you'll need to set it back up or, if it's destroyed, wait until your ability cools down to summon it again.
