This location is normally highly populated, making it a risky place to land. However, this location consists of 21 chests, as well as 21 ammo boxes, making it moderately decent for loot. This location is somewhat close to the edge of the Apollo island, which means normally you will have a limited amount of time to gather loot before The Storm shrinks.
