So, You Wanna Be a New Austin Tourist in Red Dead 2? Hold Your Horses (Literally)!
Ah, New Austin. The wild west promised land. Rattlers sunning themselves on dusty rocks, tumbleweeds blowing through deserted towns... and the ever-present threat of getting ventilated by a mysterious sniper. Yes, that's right, partner, venturing into New Austin as Arthur Morgan is about as easy as charming a grizzly bear with a banjo.
But fear not, fellow cowboy (or cowgirl)! This little guide will equip you with the knowledge to navigate the treacherous path to New Austin, or at least help you manage your expectations.

Why Can't I Just Take a Stroll There Like a Normal Person?
Nope. Turns out, Arthur is about as welcome in New Austin as a tax collector at a poker game. The area is locked down due to plot reasons (don't worry, no spoilers here!), and the game employs some rather... enthusiastic... methods to keep you out. We're talking lawmen appearing out of thin air, your health mysteriously draining, and a mysterious sniper with a trigger finger quicker than a rattlesnake strike.
Tip: Compare what you read here with other sources.
So, basically, forget about sightseeing in New Austin with Arthur. But don't fret! There's a whole lotta Wild West left to explore, partner.
John Marston to the Rescue (Eventually)!
Here's the good news: once you complete the main story and switch to playing as John Marston in the epilogue, New Austin becomes a wide-open playground. No more sniper scares, no more invisible wanted levels! John's a changed man, see? Less outlaw, more family man (well, kinda). So, pack your best hat and head on down to Armadillo or Tumbleweed. Just don't expect a warm welcome – those folks still remember the whole Dutch Van der Linde gang thing.
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
But hey, at least you won't get shot on sight!
