So You Wanna Be a New Austin Tourist in Red Dead? Hold Onto Your Stetson!
You've heard the whispers, the legends: a vast, lawless land known as New Austin. A place where tumbleweeds blow freely (except when they get caught in your spurs), and the saloons are drier than a lizard in a dust storm. But what exactly is there to do in this frontier wasteland? Well, saddle up, partner, because I'm about to spill the beans (or should that be beans and whiskey?) on how to make the most of your New Austin vacation, without getting run out of town faster than a greased weasel.
Warning: This ain't no Saint Denis sightseeing tour. New Austin has a reputation, and it ain't for the faint of heart (or those with a pristine white hat). You might encounter the law more than you bargained for, especially if your face happens to be plastered on a WANTED poster. But hey, that's all part of the New Austin charm, right?
Activities for the Aspiring Outlaw (or Accidental Tourist):
Tip: Be mindful — one idea at a time.
Herp Derp with Armadillo's Finest: Armadillo, a once-thriving town, is now a ghost town… with a cough. The folks there aren't exactly the picture of health, but hey, at least they're good for a morbid chuckle (and maybe a donation to the, uh, unofficial town physician... who just happens to be slinging snake oil out back).
Legendary Creature Coronation: New Austin boasts some of the most magnificent (and meanest) critters in the whole damn territory. Strap on your varmint rifle and track down the legendary Gila Monster or the elusive Tatanka Bison. Just remember, these ain't your average deer – they pack a punch stronger than a saloon brawl after too much moonshine.
Become a Relic Hunter: New Austin is littered with hidden treasures and explorer relics. Just keep an eye out for those pesky treasure maps – they have a tendency to, well, lead you into a heap of trouble (or tumbleweeds).
Pro Tip: New Austin ain't exactly overflowing with friendly faces. Keep your head on a swivel, your holster oiled, and your iron sights zeroed. You never know when a good ol' fashioned shootout might erupt.

How to Have Fun? Embrace the chaos, partner! New Austin throws everything but the kitchen sink at you, so roll with the punches (and maybe throw a few back yourself).
