So You Wanna Be a New Austin Tourist, Eh Partner? A Not-So-Official Guide
New Austin, the wild west wonderland Rockstar decided to keep under wraps for a good chunk of Red Dead Redemption 2. It's got rattlesnakes, tumbleweeds, and enough desert sun to make your chaps feel like sandpaper. But little do these virtual lawmen know, we're a curious bunch, and that border ain't gonna stop us!
Now, before you saddle up and hightail it outta Blackwater, there's a few things you gotta know. This ain't exactly a dude ranch vacation.
How To Get To New Austin Rdr2 |
The Law Don't Take Kindly to Trespassers (Especially Stylish Ones Like You)
New Austin? More like New Wanted Level. As Arthur, this dusty paradise is basically off-limits. Step one toe over that invisible border and you'll be greeted by a chorus of lead louder than a herd of stampeding buffalo. Think Liam Neeson in "Taken," but with a ten-gallon hat and a itchy trigger finger.
But hey, we're resourceful! There are ways to sneak in, some more, ahem, legitimate than others. We'll get to that in a sec.
Here's the Lowdown on Sneaking into New Austin (Without Getting Yeeted by the Law)
Option 1: The Chapter 4 Caper (For the Daring Gunslinger)
QuickTip: Compare this post with what you already know.
This one involves a little glitch during the mission "Angelo Bronte, A Man of Honor." Let's just say you gotta make a new friend with the Saint Denis law enforcement (spoiler alert: they won't be sending you a Christmas card). Pull this off right, and that pesky wanted level won't greet you in New Austin. Just remember, with great glitches comes great responsibility. Do some research online for the specifics, partner.
Option 2: The Saint Denis Stagecoach Shuffle (For the Sneaky Scout)
This one's a bit more low-key. Head to Saint Denis and snag a stagecoach headed for Blackwater. Just before you cross the border into New Austin, hop off that bad boy and hightail it on foot. You might get a bounty on your head for ditching the ride, but it's way easier to outrun a few lawmen on horseback than an army with itchy trigger fingers.
Option 3: The Covered Wagon Convoy (For the Socially Awkward Cowboy)
QuickTip: Scroll back if you lose track.
Apparently, the law enforcement in these parts have a blind spot for covered wagons. Find one moseying on by and hitch a ride. Just make sure you don't spook the horses, or you might find yourself eating dust instead of New Austin scenery.
Remember, these are just a few suggestions, partner. The beauty of Red Dead is the freedom to get creative! Just be prepared to outrun the law, or have a real good lawyer on speed dial.
