Berserker · 2TGG · 1GameSift · 17

Berserker
Berserker identifies a Final Chapter MC convoy riding through Mount Kalaga footage and says it shows the gang operating beyond their home territory in Ambrosia.
TGG
TGG reads the couple walking on the rocks by the waterfall footbridge as Jason and Lucia out for a hike or another date.
GameSift
GameSift reads the eagle mascot as a swap of Smokey Bear for the national bird with a rewritten slogan and an axe, so that "the thing that's meant to protect the forest is carrying the thing that cuts it down."
Berserker
Berserker speculates the "hillbilly mystics and paranoid radicals" could include survivalist compounds, moonshiners, militia groups and isolated religious or cult groups, alongside hunters, hikers, kayakers and dirt bike riders.
GameSift
GameSift remarks that real Florida has no mountain, so in his view Rockstar's northern wilderness borrows from other states.
GameSift
GameSift concludes Mount Kalaga is Rockstar stitching together the best of Georgia, North Carolina and North Florida rather than Florida exactly.
GameSift
GameSift says the red-clay canyon looks a lot like Providence Canyon in Georgia, and adds that the real canyon is man-made erosion from badly cleared farmland, not a river-carved gorge.
GameSift
GameSift says the flat-topped mountain on the postcard looks a lot like Table Rock in North Carolina.

GameSift
GameSift says the river with an old steel truss bridge and a train feels like the Suwannee River, which runs from Georgia into North Florida.
GameSift
GameSift remarks that real Florida already has a mystic community, Cassadaga, between Daytona and Orlando, so Rockstar's "mystics in the woods" have a real-world counterpart.
GameSift
GameSift reads the big cat as the Florida panther and says Rockstar putting a cougar in the northern wilderness puts one back where panthers used to live.
GameSift
GameSift guesses a legendary animal could be hidden in Mount Kalaga, a national park built around hunting, while saying Rockstar has not said which animals are rare, discoverable or legendary.
GameSift
GameSift reads the waterfall screenshot as a trail built for visitors in a proper national park, "the kind with car parks and gift shops."
GameSift
GameSift reads the couple walking in on the right of the waterfall screenshot as Jason in a gray hoodie and Lucia.
GameSift
GameSift reads the rider carving through the pack in the Extended Look off-road race, whose face is hidden by a helmet, as Lucia.
GameSift
GameSift reads the Kalaga shots as showing Jason and Lucia relaxed (Jason hunting on an ATV, Lucia racing dirt bikes, both on a waterfall trail) with nobody chasing them, in contrast with Grassrivers where they are hunted.
GameSift
GameSift reads the mountain on the horizon in the Extended Look rooftop scene as Mount Kalaga watching over the whole state from the north.
GameSift
GameSift reads the news helicopter as the only "prying eyes" shown so far and speculates the canyon truck with motorcycles might be what the news crew is looking for.
GameSift
GameSift says that across six official screenshots, the postcard, the Game Informer shots and the Extended Look, none shows a mystic or radical, a cabin, or a compound in Mount Kalaga.
GameSift
GameSift reads the absence of mystics and radicals in official material as Rockstar saving them for players to find, and says Kalaga got "its postcard and a warning" while other regions got their postcard and people.
