So You Wanna Be a New Austin Outlaw? A Totally Unofficial Guide to Glitchin' In
Howdy, partners! Ever feelin' a little hemmed in by the boundaries of the world? Saint Denis got you down? Blackwater boredom got you bluesier than Lenny after a particularly potent hair tonic? Well, buck up, buttercup, because we're about to delve into the wild and wacky world of glitches to get your adventurous spirit soaring (or at least trotting cautiously) into the forbidden land of New Austin!
Why New Austin? Why Not?
New Austin's a whole new frontier, partner. Think rattlesnakes sunbathing on cacti, tumbleweeds bigger than your wagon, and enough legendary animals to make Cripps faint with excitement (or maybe just complain about the lack of suitable stew ingredients). It's a place where the law's a distant memory (unless you mess up this glitch real bad), and the only limit is your own sense of daring (and maybe a sniper or two, but we'll get to that).
Now, onto the Nitty Gritty: How to Glitch Like a Pro (Emphasis on Maybe Pro)
There's this little exploit involving a mission called "Angelo Bronte, a Man of Honor" (Arthur, that title's a bit generous, eh?). The key is to get yourself a nice, shiny bounty during the mission. Just tussle with the law a bit, make a scene, you know, the usual Arthur Morgan charm offensive. Important Note: Don't get yourself killed, becoming a permanent resident of New Austin six feet under ain't exactly the adventure we're after.
Once you've finished the mission (and hopefully haven't gotten ventilated), hightail it on over to Strawberry. Now, here comes the tricky part: You gotta waltz right past those invisible border guards and into the big, wide open...of New Austin! Just ignore the weird looks from the tumbleweeds, they've probably seen crazier things (like Micah trying to sing karaoke).
Be Warned, Partner, This Ain't No Sunday Picnic
Glitching ain't for the faint of heart (or those with low tolerance for instant death). There's a chance you might get sniped by a mysterious sharpshooter with questionable aim (seriously, how do you miss a giant outlaw at this range?). Also, some things might be a little buggy, like your horse turning into a disco ball or your hat becoming sentient and trying to take over your head (don't worry, a good punch usually sorts that out).
But hey, if a little weirdness is your price for exploring forbidden lands, then saddle up!
FAQ:
How to get into New Austin RDR2 the normal way?
Patience, partner! New Austin unlocks naturally later in the game. This glitch is all about satisfying your inner outlaw a little early.
How to avoid getting sniped in New Austin?
There's no guaranteed way, but some folks say staying out of certain areas helps. Just remember, running usually isn't the answer when a mysterious sniper's after you.
How to get my glitched horse back to normal?
A good save and reload usually does the trick. If not, well, maybe that horse really wanted to be a disco ball. Who are we to judge its life choices?
How long can I stay in New Austin with the glitch?
As long as you don't die! If you do, you'll be back on the right side of the border, minus all your New Austin swag.
How do I know this glitch even works?
Well, partner, that's the beauty of the wild west - there's always a bit of risk involved. But hey, if you succeed, you'll have bragging rights wilder than Dutch's plans!
