| Can You Go To New Austin Before The Epilogue |
The Law (or Lack Thereof) of the Land
Normally, New Austin – the territory that holds a special place in our hearts (and the original Red Dead Redemption map) – is off-limits for Arthur Morgan. Why? Well, let's just say there's some bad blood between him and the folks over there. Think "Wanted: Dead or Alive" posters with a hefty price tag attached.
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.
Trying to waltz in like a tourist is a surefire way to get ventilated by an unseen sniper. Not exactly the scenic tour you were after, right?
Tip: Patience makes reading smoother.
But I Heard There's a Workaround, Partner?
Hold your horses! There are rumors wilder than a herd of stampeding buffalo about glitches and exploits that let Arthur explore New Austin before his official welcome party. These involve everything from strategically placed covered wagons to befriending particularly large elk carcasses.
Tip: Keep your attention on the main thread.

Word to the wise: These methods can be tricky and might not work with every update. Plus, they're about as graceful as a grizzly bear doing ballet.
So, What's a Feller to Do?
Here's the real lowdown, partner. New Austin's treasures and secrets are best enjoyed in the post-epilogue free roam. That way, you can explore without the constant threat of becoming a human pincushion. Trust me, the wait is worth it. You'll get to experience the land the way it was meant to be seen: with sunshine on your face and nary a sniper in sight (hopefully).
Plus, there's always the satisfaction of knowing you earned your New Austin exploration the honest way.
