Charge Island: Difference between revisions

Map of Liberty City with a red circle to highlight Charge Island.

Charge Island is a small island, officially part of the borough of Dukes in the Humboldt River, lying between Algonquin to the west, Dukes to the east, and Bohan to the north. Much of the island is in the shadow of the East Borough Bridge which connects the three boroughs. It is based on Randall's and Ward's islands.

Charge Island is entirely dedicated to industrial activity, the enormous East Borough Bridge and sewage treatment facility making it decidedly unappealing for residential development; in addition to the abovementioned bridge foundations and sewage works, the island features a boathouse, cargo dock and fuel repository, with an oil tanker docked there at the time of GTA IV. The island is featured twice in the game's story, in the missions Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend and Catch the Wave.

-Charge Island is rather undeveloped, most likely because it is too small to house services that will prosper with a large sphere of influence.  Furthermore, its main use seems to be housing the structure and support for the huge East Borough Bridge, and a huge Water Treatment Facility.  Because of this, Charge Island is quiet and possesses no important features. It does however possess a cargo dock, fuel repository, a boathouse, and even an oil tanker. The island is used twice, in the missions [[Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend]] and [[Catch the Wave]] and will likely be featured again in the upcoming DLC, [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]].
