Anyone went successfully through the border?

So, pretty much like the title goes, 260+ hours and though "hey, why not try go to every corner in the game "a la" Final fantasy, but well for some reason even though it's hard AF I can't seem to get past the border, only time I did manage to kill enough to go past it the goddamn game killed me, don't know wth one shot me but I had over 700 in life and it I went all willynilly passing throught then border then Boom, something just one shot the hell out of my character, tried and tried again but just can't seem to get past more than a couple of meters from the border and something just 1hit kills me every damn time.

Pretty sure you aren't supposed to get out there. It is the nomad only starting area.

Yeah, most likely, just wondering what the assets and rest of the map looks like there, also why even put it in the map if you're not going to be able to get remotely close to it?

Yep.. game just kills you. Same thing if you try to go down to the bottom levels in the apartment complex. You can do a sprint slide to pretty much survive any fall from any height in the game yet if you try it in your apartment complex you die if you touch the bottom floor. I did manage to stick to a ledge close to the bottom for awhile but not much I could do from there except look around. Of course if you didn't die when you hit the floor there's probably no way back up so obviously the death floor is just there to prevent players from getting stuck down there if they weren't smart enough to save beforehand. Not sure why they don't want you making it past the borders though.. they could have just as easily stuck another turn back point on the other side and just let you revel in the success of getting past the guards and turrets for a bit. 'Yay I MADE IT!.." "Congratulations for making it past the border.. here's 200xp.. now *ploop* you dead!"

I did play a Nomad on my first playthrough. So yes, crossed the border successfully.
Even smuggled a frozen Iguana across. Just play the Nomad prologue if you want to explore that part. Far as I know, there's nothing there except the border town, a radio tower and a trailer (where you meet Jackie).

Actually that was my 1st playthrough as well, nomad V with the iguana stuff, but I mean to go back past the border there and just plain explore, see npcs, maybe even that annoying border cop.

Thanks choom! Was actually going around seeing possible points to go through HOPING the game doesn't kill me 3 steps into the other side again.

Oh yeah, the one in the complex, that was fun, spent quite some time seeing on what else I would be able to die there lol.

And the border is a really interesting missed plot they just left there, you could even have another encounter with the nomad life path cop, or even a whole mechanic of you smuggling things and that cop appearing again to bust you, welp I'm off to do some more exploring beyond the border lol

Just to save you a dissapoitment by going there. There's nothing, no npc, no cop, only some shards to pick up and computer to go through, thats it.

Ugh, just got back and had left a save right in the middle of the wall, might as well end the "journey" but thanks for all the info, it is interesting though that even though it is scripted that you die by going through the border you won't if you I guess we can say glitch through it?

My guess is that the "trigger" point where the kill switch activates is on the border, you need to cross it to trigger it. If you go "above" the border you're going also above kill switch trigger point.
