79. Sharknado, Part 2
As concluding details for the shark EE, you will need to interact with the laptops in the sequence 1, 3, 2, 3, 1, and 3, respectively, from left to right. I.e. press the first laptop, then the third laptop, then the second laptop, then the third laptop, then the first laptop, and finally the third laptop.
You will then see the buoy with a blinking light above it, flashing a message in Morse code: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m5xbLul3N0

The message reads as: "Honor Frank".
This is a hint referring to Franky the Shark, one of four plushie toy characters, which is a Battlefield reference in the Dead Space (2023) game. Those plushie toys could also be picked up within BF2042 as part of a different, previous EE unlock on the Redacted map, which once completed, rewarded the player with the "Franky the Shark" charm. This charm must be equipped on the primary weapon by the player performing the kills in the next step.
Next, at least 3 kills (or "sacrifices") via a takedown melee must take place in the water right by the sign. Once again, the player performing the takedown kills must have the "Franky the Shark" charm equipped on their primary weapon. Note: if you don't have the charm unlocked yet, then you could pick up a dead player's weapon that already has it attached and perform takedowns that count toward this EE.
Once three takedown sacrifices are made successfully, lightning will strike the buoy and a tornado will form right off the coast and approach closer... with several sharks caught inside--a sharknado!

Players killed by a melee takedown in the water are considered as "sacrifice", and will receive the "Shark Bait" tag. An unlock message should appear on your screen when the sacrifices are complete. Note that these melee kills must be done prior to the lightning strike. And, only up to the first three sacrificed players will be able to unlock the tag.

Once the Shark Bait tag is unlocked, the Morse code on the buoy will change and read as: "WE SHALL RISE".
