Overview

Draper Island sits at the outer edge of Gelhorn Bay, serving as a natural breakwater against storm surges from the Gulf of Leonida. Largely undeveloped with coastal dunes, scrub pine forests, and sandy coves, the island features weathered radio antennas, old coastal fortifications, and isolated fishing docks accessible only by boat. In gameplay terms, Draper Island is an ideal remote cache location and tactical hideout. The sandy trails and beach margins allow for off-road dirt bike maneuvering, while the surrounding shallows provide natural protection against heavy patrol boats. In the real world, Draper Island is modeled on barrier islands like Shell Island in Panama City and Dog Island in Franklin County, celebrated for wild maritime landscapes and remote anchorages.
