So You Wanna Visit Armadillo? A Tourist's Guide to New Austin in Red Dead Redemption 2
Ah, New Austin. The land of tumbleweeds, ten-gallon hats, and the ever-present feeling that you're being watched...by something way less friendly than a curious coyote. Those dusty plains hold a certain allure for any aspiring outlaw (or botanist, no judgement here). But that allure comes with a hefty bounty on your head...literally.

| How Do I Get To New Austin In Rdr2 |
The Straight and Narrow (Not Really an Option)
Now, there's a perfectly reasonable way to get to New Austin: wait until you beat the main story. Shocking, I know. But hear me out. The folks in New Austin, for some reason, aren't exactly thrilled about seeing Arthur Morgan moseying on down the dusty street. Let's just say they have a "shoot first, ask questions later" policy when it comes to our favorite gunslinger.
Pro-tip: Don't even think about swimming across Blackwater. That ain't a baptism, son, that's a one-way ticket to Davy Jones' Locker.
TheSneaky Snake: Exploits and Glitches (Use at Your Own Risk)
Now, if waiting just ain't your style, and you have a hankering for some New Austin adventure early on, well then, partner, you gotta get creative. The internet, bless its beautiful soul, is brimming with exploits and glitches that can get you across that border faster than a greased weasel. Just be warned: these tricks can be a bit finicky, and messing with the game's code might have unforeseen consequences (like turning your horse into a giant pink unicorn...don't ask how I know).
Tip: Reading in chunks improves focus.
Here's a word to the wise: If you decide to go this route, make sure you back up your save file first. Nobody wants their Wild West vacation ruined by a glitchy critter stampede.
The Legend of the Law-Dodging Lizard: Clever Tactics (Emphasis on Clever)
There are also some semi-legitimate ways to get a peek at New Austin before the main story ends. These involve some fancy footwork (and maybe a horse with a taste for danger). They're tricky, and there's a good chance you'll end up with a posse of angry lawmen on your tail, but hey, a little danger is part of the Wild West charm, right?
Remember: These tactics might not always work, and they definitely won't let you explore freely. But if you're feeling adventurous, look up some online guides for these daring escapes. Just be prepared to outrun the law like a greased pig in a hog tie competition.
QuickTip: Keep going — the next point may connect.
