So You Wanna Be a New Austin Outlaw with Arthur? Buckle Up, Buttercup!
Ah, New Austin. Land of scorching deserts, tumbleweeds, and the ever-present threat of getting ventilated by a trigger-happy sheriff. It's also a place that's officially off-limits to our favorite outlaw with a heart of gold, Arthur Morgan, until much later in the game. But hey, who follows the rules all the time, especially when there's adventure to be had? That's right, we're gonna explore some slightly shady tactics to get Arthur into this forbidden zone.
Now, before you saddle up, there are a few things to keep in mind. This ain't exactly a Sunday stroll through the park. Think of it more like trying to sneak past Dutch's poker game without him noticing the empty money bag. There might be some bumps, bruises, and maybe even a wanted poster with your face on it by the end. You've been warned!
Tip: Skim only after you’ve read fully once.
How To Enter New Austin As Arthur |
Option 1: The Glitchy Graveyard Gamble (for the Daring Gunslinger)
This method involves a not-so-intended feature in Chapter 4's mission "Angelo Bronte, a Man of Honor." Here's the lowdown:
Tip: Take a sip of water, then continue fresh.
- Step 1: Embrace the Grave Robbing: Play through the mission normally until you're digging up poor folks in the graveyard with John by your side.
- Step 2: Get Spotted, Partner: Make sure the fuzz sees your dusty behind. This is your official "I don't care about the rules anymore" moment.
- Step 3: The Great New Austin Getaway: Instead of heading to the target location, hightail it towards New Austin with John in tow. Just remember, you're on a permanent night mission now, and John's gotta stay alive (or you'll be back in Saint Denis faster than you can say "lumbago").
This glitch comes with some limitations:
Tip: Focus on one point at a time.
- The world will be stuck in perpetual darkness. Not exactly ideal for sightseeing.
- You might have trouble interacting with certain things in the environment.
- Forget about hunting legendary animals or completing challenges – they won't register.
But Wait, There's More! (For the Tech-Savvy Outlaw)
If you're playing on PC, you can explore the world of mods. Just be aware that this can be a bit risky, so make sure you download from trusted sources. There are mods out there that can remove the restriction on entering New Austin as Arthur.
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.
Word to the wise: Always back up your save files before using mods!
