The Not-So-Friendly Neighbourhood Sniper: Why is This Happening Anyway?
In Red Dead Redemption 2, there's a sneaky little mechanic in New Austin (and a couple other spots) where an unseen sniper takes potshots at Arthur Morgan if he ventures there before a certain point in the story. Why? Well, let's just say the folks in New Austin aren't exactly thrilled about you waltzing in before you're supposed to.
But hey, who needs story spoilers? We just wanna explore, right?
Disabling the New Austin Nuisance: Your Options (Besides Running Away Screaming)
There are a couple of ways to deal with this sharpshooting shadow. Now, some methods are a bit more...unorthodox than others. Let's take a look:
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
1. Play by the Rules (Kinda Sorta): This is the safest option, but it involves some patience. Progress through the main story missions until you reach a specific point (we won't spoil it here!). Once you do, the sniper threat magically disappears, and you're free to roam New Austin to your heart's content.
2. Embrace the Chaos (For PC Players Only): This option involves a little more tinkering. If you're playing Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC, you can download a trainer mod. These can be a bit tricky, so be sure you do your research and download from a reputable source. With the right mod, you can disable the sniper completely, or even turn on god mode and laugh maniacally as bullets bounce harmlessly off your invincible hide.
3. The Old Spice Method (Not Recommended): This method involves sheer grit and maybe a touch of insanity. Basically, you just keep getting shot until you respawn somewhere safe. Not exactly ideal, and you might lose some precious pelts in the process. But hey, if you're feeling particularly stubborn, this is an option...of sorts.
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.
We highly recommend avoiding method number 3. Seriously, your sanity will thank you.
So You've Dodged the Sniper. Now What?
New Austin awaits, partner! Explore the vast plains, hunt legendary creatures, and maybe even get yourself into a good ol' fashioned saloon brawl. Just remember, the sniper situation might not be the only story-related hurdle you encounter in certain areas. But hey, that's all part of the adventure, right?
