Chapter 7 Leaks

• Large Desert Biome: Most of the southern and central island is arid, with canyon paths and neon-lit towns.
• Huge Urban City: A massive city POI sits at the center, split by a river that drains into a large lake—big for rotations.
• Minimal Snow: Only a few small mountain peaks have light snow; there’s no dedicated snow biome.
• Floating Balloons: Dozens of balloons hover over POIs, rumored to provide mobility and high-tier loot.
• Hollywood-Style Sign: A giant hillside landmark overlooks the city, hinting at an entertainment-themed region.
• Gambler Shotgun: A high-risk, high-reward shotgun with variable damage tied to a “chance” mechanic.
