The Great Arthur Morgan New Austin Adventure: Escaping Bounty Hunters and the Wrath of Micah (Probably Micah)
So you, my friend, have a hankering to explore the dusty plains and tumbleweeds of New Austin with Arthur Morgan himself? You're not alone! There's something mighty tempting about venturing beyond the borders of what's "allowed" with our favorite gunslinger with a heart of gold (or is it tuberculosis? We're not here to judge). But as you likely know, Rockstar threw up a bigger "Keep Out" sign than that grumpy old hermit down by the swamps. Don't fret though, partner, because this guide will turn you into a New Austin ninja... well, almost.

| How To Get To New Austin With Arthur |
Method 1: The Sneaky Saint Denis Stagecoach Caper (High Risk, High Reward)
This one's a real doozy, but if you're feeling adventurous (and slightly suicidal), then this might be your cup of tumbleweed tea. Here's the lowdown:
- Befriend a Stagecoach: Head over to Saint Denis and snag yourself a stagecoach. You can "borrow" one the old fashioned way (think horseshoes and excitement!), or maybe use your charm to convince the driver he needs a long vacation (a bullet to the leg usually works wonders for "convincing").
- Hold on to Your Stetson!: Now comes the tricky part. You gotta hightail it towards New Austin with angry bounty hunters hot on your trail. This is where your stagecoach driving skills come in handy. Remember, those things handle like a drunken moose on roller skates, so watch out for cacti and tumbleweeds!
- Welcome to Dodge (or Maybe Armadillo): If you manage to reach New Austin without becoming a giant red smear on the map, then congratulations! You're a true outlaw. Just remember, the fun doesn't stop there. You'll still have bounty hunters galore after your hide, so keep your head down and that six-shooter handy.
Word to the Wise: This approach is about as subtle as a runaway train. Expect a whole lot of "WANTED" signs and enough lead flying your way to make a firing squad jealous.
QuickTip: Repetition signals what matters most.
Method 2: The Not-So-Secret Agent Mission Exploit (Easy Breezy, But Buggy)
There's a rumor floating around (like that creepy hermit we mentioned earlier) about a glitch in the mission "Angelo Bronte, a Man of Honor" (Chapter 4). Apparently, if you get spotted by the lawmen during the graveyard shootout and then hightail it for New Austin with John Marston by your side, you can waltz right in with nary a bounty hunter in sight. Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it kind of is. This glitch can be a bit finicky, and you might end up stuck in a never-ending night with a grumpy John Marston. But hey, at least you get to see New Austin, right?
Before You Dive In: Remember, this is a glitch and may not always work. Plus, you'll be stuck in a weird mission state and won't be able to do much exploring. But if you're just curious to peek over the border, this might be your best bet (although a legal bet would probably be safer for your sanity).
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.
FAQ: New Austin Adventures with Arthur
Alright, pilgrims, now that you've got a taste of the outlaw life, here are some quick answers to some frequently asked questions:
 |
How to Avoid Bounty Hunters in New Austin? There's no magic bullet (pun intended) here, partner. You're gonna have a target on your back no matter what. Stay hidden, use cover, and maybe invest in a good disguise (though Arthur in a fake mustache might be a bit...obvious).
Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.
How to Get Back from New Austin Alive? Dodging bounty hunters on your way in is one thing, but getting back is a whole other rodeo. Honestly, your best bet is to use the same method you used to get in (unless you enjoy a constant hail of bullets).
How Long Can I Stay in New Austin? Technically, forever (as long as you don't get killed by bounty hunters, that is). But remember, the glitch method might have you stuck in a weird mission state, and the stagecoach method...well, let's just say you won't be relaxing by the campfire for too long.
QuickTip: Keep going — the next point may connect.
How Do I Get the Legendary Animals in New Austin? This one's a bit tricky. Some folks say you can't hunt legendaries with the glitch method. Your best bet is probably to wait until the epilogue and explore New Austin then.
How Much Trouble Can I Get Into? A whole heck
