John Marston's Guide to New Austin: How to Avoid Getting Turned into Tumbleweed Soup (Mostly)
Howdy, partners! It's ya boi, John Marston. You might be itching to explore the dusty plains and mysterious canyons of New Austin, but that ain't exactly a Sunday stroll through Saint Denis. The law down there ain't too fond of my mug, let's just say. Fear not, fellow adventurers! Here's a rundown on how to avoid a lead breakfast and reach that New Austin dreamland (with a few laughs along the way).
The Straight and Narrow (Well, Mostly Straight)
There's a perfectly legal way to waltz into New Austin, but you gotta be patient as a saint with a cactus stuck in his backside. You see, partner, New Austin becomes accessible after you complete the main story. Yep, gotta finish Dutch's little "operations" before you can explore on your own. But hey, on the bright side, you get to bust heads, bond with the missus, and maybe even teach Jack a thing or two about the outlaw life (don't tell Abigail!).

The Shady Shortcut (Emphasis on Shady)
QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.
Now, if you're feeling a little more adventurous (or impatient), there used to be some exploits that let you sneak into New Austin before finishing the story. These were like finding a gold nugget in a pile of manure, but like most good things, they get patched faster than a poker player with a losing hand. Unless you're a seasoned glitch-wrangler, I wouldn't recommend this path. You might end up staring at the respawn screen more than the wide-open plains.
So You Made It... Now What?
Congratulations, partner! You've defied the law (or patiently waited) and reached the wild west wonderland of New Austin. Here's a heads-up:
QuickTip: Skim fast, then return for detail.
- The Law Might Still Be Cranky: Even after the story, some folks might not recognize your charming demeanor. Keep an eye on that bounty meter and be ready to hightail it out of Dodge...or Armadillo...or whichever tumbleweed town you find yourself in.
- Embrace the Wild West: New Austin is a harsh mistress. Rattlesnakes, tumbleweeds, and the occasional grumpy rancher – it's all part of the adventure!
Bonus Tip: Don't forget your trusty steed! A good horse can make the difference between a glorious sunset and becoming vulture chow.
