The South California Border Crossing is a location in Cyberpunk 2077.

Overview

The border checkpoint can be found on Highway 101, which runs between the NUSA state of South California and the Free City of Night City. It is part of local section of the Border Wall, which extends from the coast all the way along the Biotechnica Flats, to the mountains in the east of Rattlesnake Creek. Several Militech Mechs and Octants can be found patrolling the wall, and approaching it will trigger an AWACS Zone warning (Airborne Warning and Control System). If the area is not cleared, any vehicle or person will be targeted by missiles; as evidenced by the smoldering wrecks.

The checkpoint is visited only during the Nomad prologue. Afterwards, this area will be hostile and it won't possible to cross it to the south.

A Data Term can be found at a nearby parking lot to the north under the name "Border Checkpoint".

History

A concrete border wall between North and South California was built after the Unification War by the NUSA. Even though Night City had gained its independence from the North, the NUSA still treated them as NorCal citizens, thus the border was extended through the Badlands south of the city.

The border crossing on Highway 101 is used as a customs and immigration inspection checkpoint between SoCal and Night City. The facility and the rest of the Border Wall are guarded by the SoCal Border Patrol and Militech, whom are hired both by NC City Hall and South California.

BORDER WALL

The border between North and South California is marked by a thick, forbidding wall meant to prevent smuggling and illegal crossings. The checkpoint is guarded by the SoCal border patrol, which is backed by corporate forces. You'll need plenty of skill, cunning, sometimes even a dash of luck to get through.

Notes

• Despite the continuous AWACS warning, no missile is ever fired at the player.
• Even if the player uses quickhacks to disable all turrets and lower road blocks at the border crossing and drives through it fast to avoid soldier fire, they will be automatically killed by a turret anyway.
