One-Eyed Willie's Mod Shop

What Rockstar has said

Rockstar's description: "This mod shop in Lake Leonida specializes in off-road modifications and hand-painted automotive artistry. Only open for business with the Ultimate Edition." It is one of two Ultimate Edition mod shops, alongside Rideout Customs, and the only one Rockstar has given a location.

What the images show

Rockstar's alt text for the three images reads "A parked two door green off-road vehicle", "An up close shot of the front of a lime colored off-road vehicle" and "Inside an auto shop, two men are working on a green off-road vehicle with the hood up."

The first image, this page's cover, shows what "hand-painted" means here. A boxy green Canis off-roader sits on all-terrain tyres, with a winch, tow shackles and a skid plate up front and "WARNING" stencilled across the bumper. A cartoon creature with a mouth full of yellow teeth is painted along the doors, drips and all. It looks like custom airbrush work rather than a factory livery.

Real-world setting: Lake OkeechobeeUnconfirmed

Rockstar has not said what Lake Leonida is based on, but the obvious match is Lake Okeechobee, the big shallow lake in the middle of Florida. Our Lake Leonida page covers that comparison.

The nameUnconfirmed

"One-Eyed Willie" is close to One-Eyed Willy, the legendary 17th-century pirate whose treasure the kids chase in The Goonies (1985). The spelling differs and Rockstar has not explained the name, so this is a likely nod rather than a confirmed one.

What it suggests for playUnconfirmed

Expect suspension, tyre and protection upgrades for off-road vehicles, plus custom paint jobs beyond standard colours. Rockstar has not confirmed prices, which vehicles qualify, or whether paint designs can be chosen or are pre-set. Lake Leonida is far from Vice City's beaches, so the shop also gives players a reason to head inland.
