This is Jackie Jaye. It's been the night from hell at the Louisville border camp. Violence between the military and civilian groups broke out, and it attracted them. Hundreds of people with the Knox Event Infection, maybe more, maybe thousands. They came in through the wire, through the barricades.

The Louisville border camp is a refugee camp and army checkpoint on the border of Louisville.

Overview

The border camp consists of two main sections.

The army checkpoint, on the border itself.
The refugee camp, located North of the checkpoint.

The main route to and through the camp is initially protected by fences and gates that cannot easily be opened, but a breach exists on the eastern side; when approaching from the south, turn east through the train yard and follow the fencing until you find the breach. This route will not permit vehicles access through the area (unless an axe is used to clear the trees) and the main army checkpoint remains fenced off from both sides, but the break does allow for foot access into the Louisville area.

Lore

The camp was overrun on July 14th after a protest resulted in a conflict between the army and protesters, which resulted in large hordes of zombies raiding the border camp and the rest of Louisville. The refugee camp was for survivors who were displaced by the Knox Event quarantine.

The Louisville border camp provides insight to the events that happened before the player finds themselves inside the game's world. With a podium and a stage platform, along with notable news vans and cameras, it is seen here that it's where addresses were made as seen from several radios and televisions throughout the game.

Tips

Due to an extreme amount of zombies all around the camp, it is recommended that players take precautions before attempting to loot the facilities inside the camp. The army surplus store inside of Louisville offers the same amount of weapons, armor, and tools at a significantly lower risk.

Trivia
