So You Wanna Be a New Austin Tourist? A Guide for the Outlaw on the Go (As Arthur Morgan)
Ah, New Austin. The land of scorching sun, tumbleweeds, and the ever-present threat of getting ventilated by a particularly enthusiastic sheriff. It's also the place where Arthur Morgan, our favorite outlaw with a heart of gold (or depending on your playstyle, a heart that's about as gold-plated as a cactus), is persona non grata. But hey, who doesn't love a little forbidden vacation, right? This here guide will show you how to become a secret tourist in that sun-baked paradise, all without becoming a permanent resident of Boot Hill.

Methods (Not So Legal, But Who Cares)
There's a reason Arthur ain't exactly welcome in New Austin. Let's just say they don't appreciate his particular brand of "enthusiasm." But fear not, there are ways around these pesky invisible walls and angry lawmen!
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
The Buggy Bonanza: This one involves a trusty stagecoach, a healthy dose of recklessness, and a complete disregard for OSHA regulations. Find yourself a stagecoach, then nudge it (orYeet it, if you're feeling fancy) towards the border. Once the buggy catches fire (because of course it will), hop out and hightail it into New Austin while the lawmen are busy putting out the fiery mess.
The Bounty Breakout: This method requires a little pre-vacation planning. Accept a bounty mission that takes you close to the border. Hogtie the poor sap you're supposed to capture, then instead of turning them in, make a bee-line straight for New Austin. Just remember, you'll be sporting a hefty bounty, so prepare to outrun the law or be ready for a bullet-filled welcome.
The Chapter 1 Caper (For the Truly Daring): This one's a bit tricky, but for those who like to live life on the edge, it's possible to exploit a glitch in Chapter 1. You'll need some serious skills and a whole lot of luck, but if you pull it off, you'll have access to New Austin early on. (Disclaimer: This method might get patched later, so consider it an archaeologist's dig for hidden content.)
Remember: These methods ain't exactly endorsed by the Saint Denis Chamber of Commerce. Be prepared for shootouts, bounty hunters, and the ever-present threat of a heatstroke.
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.
Essential Packing List for the New Austin Newbie
- Sunscreen (SPF 50, minimum): That sun ain't friendly.
- A good hat: For shade, and to look mysterious.
- A fast horse: You'll need it to outrun the law (and the occasional angry rattlesnake).
- A good sidearm (or two): Things can get hairy in New Austin.
- A sense of humor: Because let's face it, this whole situation is a bit ridiculous.
Bonus Tip: Bring some chewing tobacco. It might not help with the lawmen, but it'll certainly add to the outlaw aesthetic.
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.
