Regions of Leonida → Vice City

Vice City collectibles

Vice City is the densest region in the state, and it will hold more items than anywhere else. Here is where Rockstar tends to hide things in cities, what the trailers already show, and why part of the map stays shut until later.

checkable facts forecast, not fact

There is no item list on this page yet, and that is deliberate. Nobody has exact coordinates before 19 November: there is no PC version at launch, so nobody is unpacking the game files. Everything below about GTA 5 and RDR 2 is checkable fact. Everything about GTA 6 is inference about how it will be built, not about what will actually be in the city. The map fills up from day one, every marker with a link to its source.

What is known about the city

Vice City is the centre of Leonida and a fictional Miami. Rockstar has shown it in the trailers: a waterfront of towers, low-rise blocks, a port, canals, a beach strip to the east. It is the return of the city from GTA Vice City, rebuilt from scratch.

One trait matters for collecting, and the trailers make it plain: the city is vertical. Roofs, balconies, fire escapes, underground parking, overpasses. In GTA 5 the dense Los Santos caused most of its trouble exactly this way — the item is in plain sight, but there is only one side you can reach it from.

Where Rockstar hides things in cities

This can be said in advance, because the devices repeat from game to game. From GTA 5 and RDR 2:

Kind of place	Example from earlier games	What makes it hard
Rooftops	Letter scraps in GTA 5 sat on roofs across downtown Los Santos	Invisible from street level, needs a climb or a helicopter
Back lots and alleys	Monkey mosaics, some of them down blind passages between buildings	On a map they read as solid blocks
Underwater at the waterfront	Nuclear waste in GTA 5 started right off the shore	Needs scuba gear, and that does not arrive in chapter one
Interiors	Epsilon tracts, several of them indoors	A top-down marker does not say the door is on the other side
Building sites and derelicts	Stashes in RDR 2 inside abandoned structures	They appear and vanish as the story moves

Which leads to the practical point for a city: a coordinate is not enough. You need to know which side to come in from and what to be carrying. That is why every marker on our map carries a "how to find it" note, an indoor flag and a list of required gear.

What will not open straight away

Some of the city will be shut early on, and the reasons are known from the studio's earlier games:

Story progressIn GTA 5 spaceship parts did not appear on the map until you had met Omega. City sets are usually tied to a character or a mission.

MoneyThe Sonar Collections Dock in GTA 5 cost $250,000 and was not for sale from the start. Without it the underwater half of the city stayed closed.

EquipmentScuba gear for finds along the waterfront, a helicopter for roofs. In GTA 5, without a submersible, two of the four major sets were physically out of reach.

Time of daySecrets are nearly always nocturnal. In daylight the same spot holds nothing at all.

Orange depends on how far you have played. Blue depends on what you brought with you.

Using the map for this region

The map can show Vice City alone — the other six regions drop away and progress is counted for this city on its own. The link below opens exactly that view.

Open the map: Vice City only The whole of Leonida

Inside that view two filters are working that collectible maps usually lack: by story chapter and by required gear. They answer "what can I collect here right now" rather than "what exists here at all". The difference starts to matter once a city holds a few dozen markers and half of them are out of reach.

What appears here after launch

From 19 November this page will carry the Vice City item list with a "found out of total" counter, hints, and a source link on every marker. Until an item has been found in the game and backed by a link, it is not on the map — not here and nowhere else on the site.

Unconfirmed markers carry a yellow drop and keep it until somebody reaches the spot and confirms. In the first week most of them will, and that is more honest than passing a rumour off as fact.
