Sneaking into New Austin with Arthur: A How-Not-To Guide (But Seriously, Here's How)
Ah, New Austin. Land of mystery, tumbleweeds, and the ever-present threat of getting ventilated by a trigger-happy Lawman. As Arthur, a good boah with a heart of gold (and a rapidly declining cough), you might be curious about what this forbidden land holds. But that pesky invisible sniper guarding the border keeps reminding you with a well-placed bullet to the, well, anywhere they feel like aiming.
Fear not, fellow outlaw! There are ways (mostly glitch-based, but hey, it's the Wild West, baby, gotta bend the rules sometimes) to sneak past those pesky Lawmen and explore New Austin with Arthur. This guide will unveil the secrets (and the many, many ways you might die trying).

The Not-So-Bright Ideas (Guaranteed to Get You Shot)
- The "Ram Through the Checkpoint" Method: This one involves a whole lot of horse and very little planning. It's about as successful as asking Dutch for a raise. You'll be met with a chorus of lead and a respawn back in friendly territory.
- The "Let's Just Swim Across the River" Method: Sure, the Rio Grande might seem inviting, but those Lawmen have paddle boats and a surprising amount of free time. Consider this a free bath (with a side of bullet holes).
Pro Tip: Don't be that guy. Seriously.
The Slightly-Less-Terrible Options (There's Still a High Chance of Demise)
- The Saint Denis Stagecoach Caper: This glitch involves hitching a ride on a stagecoach out of Saint Denis. It's tricky, and if you mess up, you'll be praising the heavens you only landed in a pile of manure instead of a six-foot hole. There's a plethora of tutorials online if you're feeling adventurous (and suicidal).
- The "Wagon Ho!" Technique: This one involves strategically placing a wagon near a specific slope that, with a little nudge and a lot of luck, can launch you over the border. Think of it as Arthur attempting an unauthorized Red Dead Redemption rodeo. It's bound to end well... right?
Remember: These methods are finicky and come with a hefty dose of frustration. But hey, if you like living life on the edge (and by "edge" we mean "one wrong move away from a Lawman's bullet"), then go for it!
Tip: Break long posts into short reading sessions.
The Actually-Useful Advice (Finally!)
Alright, alright, enough with the theatrics. Here's the real way to explore New Austin as Arthur (or at least, the least glitch-prone way):
Progress Through Chapter 4: As you progress through the story, there's a specific mission that takes you to Blackwater (in New Austin) legally. Just follow the main story, and you'll get your New Austin fix eventually. This might not be the daring outlaw route you craved, but it's the safest path to avoid an untimely demise.
Epilogue Access: Once you complete the story (be prepared for some feels, partner), you can freely explore the entire map, New Austin included, in the epilogue as John Marston.
