First: the map is huge. Based on their estimates, it could be bigger than GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 combined. We’re talking “bring snacks” territory.
Second: there’s a place called “Port Gellhorn” in the project. It’s a gritty industrial area. Picture warehouses, cranes, and probably a hundred missions involving stolen cargo. It’s not Miami Beach vibes—it’s “keep your head down” vibes.
Third: the swamps are massive. If you thought the Bayou in Red Dead was big, wait until you see the alligator-filled nightmare these fans have mapped. I’m getting eaten. I know it.
The Real Heroes? The Data Miners.
Let’s give a shoutout to the leakers (not the bad ones). Some of the mapping relies on tiny snippets from old leaks. They use weird metadata and shadow angles to pinpoint locations. It’s basically wizardry.
One fan matched a specific cloud pattern from a leak to a weather satellite image. Yes, really. That’s the level of dedication we’re talking about. I can’t even match my socks in the morning.
