The Exclusion Zone Border is the military fence that separates Louisville from the rest of Knox Country. It runs along Farnly Road, South Park Road and Ashville Road at the southern edge of the city.
The border is a chain of military checkpoints and refugee camps of different sizes. The army built it to seal the infection inside the Exclusion Zone. When the outbreak spread, huge crowds of infected came out of the zone and broke through the fence. The military pulled back north, and the border fell.
Today the line is full of military supplies and full of zombies. Checkpoints hold firearms, medical gear and military equipment in tents and chests. Every entrance and exit along the fence has a heavy zombie population. Survivors who want to reach Louisville from the south must cross it, so knowing the weak points matters.
Exclusion Zone Border Layout
The 31W checkpoint is the largest crossing, on the main highway into the city. Knox Boundary Camp, the big refugee camp, spreads north of it. A broken stretch of fence to the east gives a way in on foot.
East of the main camp is a half burned neighborhood on Farnly Road. Inside the fence, a group of houses was taken over by the military. Several houses south of the fence have burned.
The Louisville Road checkpoint stands where Farnly and South Park roads meet. A small refugee campsite lies further up Louisville Road. The Burnt Town sits on South Park Road, with a burnt mobile home park nearby. The Ernest Cooper Road checkpoint is the smallest crossing, where Ernest Cooper Road becomes Smuggler's Road. The Ashville Road military post is the easternmost point, south of Louisville International Airport.
Iroquois Park lies to the north. Chapelmount Downs is to the northwest.

Possible Loot Items in Exclusion Zone Border
The 31W checkpoint holds loads of containers and military chests with firearms, medicine and military gear. It is also packed with electronics, which makes it one of the easiest places to train electrical skill. Its refugee camp gives tents and generators, and it is one of the few places with metal drums.
The Louisville Road and Ernest Cooper Road checkpoints each have a barracks tent, an armoury tent and a communications tent. The barracks chests hold military gear, and the armoury holds firearms. The Farnly Road houses give firearms and medical items. The Burnt Town's military tower can hold firearms.
The Ashville Road military post is the largest of the smaller sites. One produce warehouse there serves as a mechanic garage, cafeteria and armoury. The other still holds ordinary produce.
Surviving in Exclusion Zone Border
The 31W checkpoint is swarmed by thousands of zombies. Clearing it can take days or weeks, depending on skills and world settings. Drawing the horde away with a vehicle or another loud noise is often easier than fighting.
The smaller checkpoints are fenced off from the Valley Station side. Getting in from the south needs a sledgehammer or welding. From the Louisville side, an openable gate gives easy access. The fence can also be followed on foot to reach a checkpoint from the side.
Some tents can spawn already looted, even with a crowd standing around them. A survivor should weigh the risk before committing to a long fight.
