Arthur survives New Austin sniper for Herbalist 9 in Red Dead Redemption 2

[@LewisHamiltonMSPR]

I found through using infinite health that the "sniper" is actually just bullets shot from the player camera or just directly behind it. You can control where the "sniper" bullets shoot even when standing still by rotating the camera around. I like walking around peds while holding the camera quite low down, so that they walk between Arthur and the camera, they all get shot!

The invisible sniper is one of the worst things to exist in a video game. Period. At least in RDR1 you can explore the whole map without any real gimmicks after the first mission.

[@RuziNuk3]

You can´t explore West Elizabeth, the police will look after you, and neither you can cross the river to Mexico, it´s blocked

[@WeegeeSlayer123]

Well technically in RDR1 the bridges to Mexico and West Elizabeth were down, and John instantly died when he set foot in water. (Which was explained in RDR2 that he apparently can't swim and is even terrified of water) And I believe the invisible sniper in RDR2 was put there because the devs WERE going to originally allow Arthur to explore New Austin, but most likely couldn't finish everything in time for the game's release. So they simply threw in the sniper at the last minute.

Well like everywhere else, you're not just wanted in the city. Commit a crime in valentine and you're wanted all over new Hanover. I think they wanted some content exclusive to the epilogue. It's mentioned a few times how if you go near black water, you'll be killed. Like before the rescue mission with Sean, how Micah wants to go back and Arthur says how foolish it is and I think there's dialogue with Javier. There's probably many more examples too. It would hurt the immersion if they say in cut scenes it's a death sentence to go there but you can in free roam. But it would be nice if after your first play through, you could go there. Like a new game plus, added difficulty and other stuff. They people doing this have already beat the game, probably multiple times so neither of my reasons, content and immersion matter.

Something HUGE I found extremely useful for those who have trouble finding the correct angle to avoid being sniped til you reach the herb. Set a marker to your herb, and just aim a gun while your moving, aim straight down and the sniper will just hit the roof of the buggy and the horse auto runs max speed the path set by the marker. You can just hold the left trigger and just wait till you arrive at the herb. The horse ai auto corrects out of the way of civilians. Wont follow train tracks and traveling the paths mean more likely to come across a lawman who will pursue you immiedently, the buggy can outrun them but stack up on health items

[@Vishi177]

Wait how buggy run by its own like how it auto driver itself can u explain

[@boof994]

When engaging in gunfights on horse, the horse continues moving at the current speed you are running and doesn't slow down when you aim. The horse auto runs straight if you are offroad but will follow paths and auto turn so you don't crash into something when shooting.

I remember my friend encountered a glitch were even after leaving new Austin the sniper kept shooting, even after reloading the auto save and closing app and re opening it wouldn’t stop. He’d even get shot in camp. Worst part was he had done this in Chapter5 and his only hardsave was all the way back in the beginning of chapter 2. Which would basically mean restarting the whole game. Mind you he had collected all satchels, crafted all the clothing that was available from the trapper, all other challenges, most collectables, was doing mission gold medals as he went along. It was heartbreaking. He uninstalled and reinstalled and it wouldn’t end, so he dropped the game entirely. I’m pretty sure he hasn’t played since than, 2yrs I believe

[@thefleegle7202]

Did this once to complete all challenges as Arthur, I had the most luck in the buggy. This takes A LOT of patience and trial and error. Especially if you are trying to hunt the three legendary animals in New Austin. One thing I read that made my time easier was wearing the Marion helmet, the one with the big red feather sticking up. You can see it pass through the roof of the buggy and it tells you easily where Arthur is so you can line up getting out of the buggy easier.

There's a way to get to NA and not have the sniper active. I did it while exploring accidentally once. I was in Flat Iron Lake messing with the boats. If you get close to the ones in the area that forces Arthur to drown, they sink, FAST. One didn't sink and I got onboard. Then it turned and headed to the deathwater. It popped up in the air while I was jumping to get over part of the ship and it sent me forward slowly and WAY up into the air. I landed in the water not far from the opposite shore. I explored that area and it dropped me into Guarma. No sniper. I explored again and got lost WAY off the far end of Guarma. It dropped me into Mexico, but it was flooded. I took breaks and eventually made it to NA. The water disappeared, I had no sniper, and I could explore freely. Once you die there, the sniper is back.

Fun fact time. RDR2 got rushed to release, so a lot of parts of the game actually ended up different than intended. Bear with me for a second here. Theres this glitch you can do, where you can roam around new austin as arthur without needing to worry about the sniper at all. when doing it early on and healthy, the locals in armadillo just get pissy and tell you to screw off etc, and arthur will comment on the plague. But when arthur is dying of tb, if you show up, theres unique voice lines from the npc's just for Arthur himself. "Jeez, you look worse than us." Arthur also has unqiue dialogue on the ranch in new austin, stating "this is some beautiful property" as he walks around. Arthur is also able to order chili and roast beef in tumbleweed, tho there is missing voice dialogue. Arthur also has unique interactions and voice lines with the del lobos gang. Meaning that there was originally meant to be a chapter with arthur in new austin, but they ran out of time while working on it and had to change plans. All of this points to the conclusion that read dead redemption 2 was Rockstar souths love baby, a game they intended to be even longer and more in depth than it already was, and that fucking love child of theirs got crushed by the joining of north and south to work on the stupid gta ultimate trilogy flop as well as gta 6. Dont get me wrong, it's one of the best games ever produced, but the reason its so buggy, so glitchy, crashes so much, and feels incomplete in ways, its because it literally is incomplete. the coding was rushed and forced. the story line started meticulous and then got rushed. the y did their best to give us a great game, and knocked it out of the park. but i suspect rdr2 is a far cry from what Rockstar south actually inteded. i suspect they meant it to be an open world experience that had choices that matter. a game that might have rivaled the elder scrolls in sheer open world content. Sadly we will never fucking know, because rockstar corporate is a bunch of greedy, filthy, rat fucking bastards.

i pray every week, that R* get's the eff off of their high horse and listens to us... and finally releases DLC content for this masterpiece. Undead Nightmare 2, more side content, gun tricks, New Austin for Arthur (under special circumstances,) Mexico, Guarma being fleshed out and reachable after the missions, all online clothes for Arthur and John, with black leather and ponchos. More outfit space and the ability to store different versions of Arthur's hat, which was probably already intended. Build upon the excellent horror parts. Generally, just more stuff to buy and possibly some sandbox elements that seemed to be a good fit for such a detailed game. There's still a huge market for it. I'd pay at least the full price of a AAA game to see that content.

Yes, unfortunately it was patched so you would need a physical copy of the game and go offline to do this now. Though that would probably be easier than this method...

[@OSITO-xm7gl]

@@williamsawyer7993 @William Sawyer I have it in digital and it still works. There is only one condition for the method to work and that is to do it for the first time and not die because if you die the bug no longer works and you lose everything you have collected even if you load the checkpoint you can not do the bug again.

For those struggling to get past West Elizabeth without having the buggy wrecked by Pinkertons and their semi-auto firepower (I read they were more aggressive after chapter 2, not sure if it's really the case), I recommend you wait for them to spawn on the right just after entering Beecher's Hope, then kill them all in dead eye, using a weapon with a fairly large magazine and good range like the Lancaster repeater, except for one that you leave behind by killing his horse (otherwise you might have a new wave spawn pretty fast). Then you can lose them going towards Thieves' Landing, avoiding a new posse that should spawn from Tall Trees, coming from a path on the right. But make sure you lost them before crossing the bridge to Thieves' Landing, otherwise you might be facing a new bunch spawning right past it, and there you'd be pretty much doomed as you'd have to survive them plus the sniper. Also, it's not specified in the video, but you have to switch to the furthest camera distance, in addition to tweaking the camera settings in the menu. Otherwise, when Arthur picks the herbs, the camera will zoom across the buggy and you'll get killed instantly. Might be useful to switch the compass to "extended" as well, in order to better see the Pinkertons coming and get a broader view of the paths. One last thing, but very important: Shoot the buggy's lights with a bow, or they might get shot by a firearm and explode, which will result in Arthur and the horse getting roasted and the buggy collapsing. Also, when you break them, watch out for the horse as it'll get spooked and try to run away. You'll have to get in quick and stop the buggy after breaking the first one, then break the second one and get in before the horse runs away. Did it today, took me 7 attempts to figure out all that, but once I had the hang of it, it was almost a walk in the fine park of Hennigan's Stead. Might wanna save in Saint-Denis so you can reload without having to go all the way back nor losing a few stacks of bills upon dying. Hope this helps, wish I knew it before attempting this mad trip !

[@badaboooom56]

Thx m8

[@inkax]

thanks man, i can confirm btw after chapter 2 more lawmen spawn at different places and they can sometimes shoot you through the wagon. the easiest way is the one, where you meet javier near blackwater. they always spawn at the exact spot shon in the video

[@Dubmentia]

Thanks for all the info, super helpful! I have a question though, is dying okay? Like hypothetically if I managed to get every herb and a legendary animal or something, could I die and quickly transport home, or will I lose my New Austin progress?

[@inkax]

@@Dubmentia you‘d lose the pelt, like anytime you die with a pelt on you, but since legendary always go to trapper, you dont need to worry

[@Dubmentia]

@@inkax Yeah, I assumed I'd just have to skin it for the trinket item and then wait a few days for the trapper to get it. I only really want the pronghorn because those gold gloves go crazy with my current favorite outfit lol. Glad to know all that still works as intended. Once again super appreciated.

[@no-barknoonan1335]

Would have been awesome if later in the epilogue you meet them as one of Sadies friends. Would have done a lot for world immersion, but this game wasn't given enough time in the oven to iron out these features exactly as the developers would have wished. We can be grateful for what we got at least. I'm sure a skilled modder could rework this sniper to a legendary bounty hunter.

I opened up KZbin, and this was the first video that came up... And i instantly heard the voice and thought..🤔 "Arthur? You doing commentary?" NOW, ya channel I feel is underrated!!!! #KeepUpTheGreatWork

[@RoaDKiLL760]

I’m on attempt 6 now, getting tired of the ride from Saint Denis, but I’ve acquired the first two plants, and I’ve made it to the part of the map that contains the final two, so I have hope. ONE IMPORTANT THING TO NOTE: make sure you have your 3rd person camera view at the furthest view, that way when you harvest the plant the camera angle doesn’t get you sniped. also, while in the buggy keep a weapon drawn and you can auto ride (saving your thumb some pain), and you can have more time to focus on the camera angle, it helps a LOT.

[@rowan2064]

I liked it. You trolled the "invisible sniper" good. This is the most bullshit game mechanic i've ever seen in a videogame. Arthur deserves to be able to explore more of the map. Locking him out of 2 whole states (i consider the Blackwater area a separate one from WE) was a big mistake! I prefer the mod to turn the "sniper" off but your method is okay too. Screw you, Rockstar!

[@michaeltaylor815]

Dude I'm having a go at this now and the law just shoots the buggy wheel off before I even get far, any tips?

[@michaeltaylor815]

@@rowan2064 I think it's a bit luck based but try to avoid exposing the sides, let the law shoot the back so the wheels are less likely to get shot, avoid bumps on the way and once you get to Beecher's Hope you pretty much have to book it and avoid stones and logs

[@kevinlawin2810]

Yeah, driving from saint denis to blackwater is a chore, luckily there is an autodrive in cinematic, a good 10 mins, just enough for smoke break.

If it interests anyone, there is a mod for the PC version of RDR 2 that removes the Invisible Snipers in both New Austin and Guarma, its on Nexusmods and is called: "Disable Out Of Bounds Snipers" It may sound a bit cheaty to remove them, but I find the whole concept a bit ridiculous, for this random sniper bloke to be able to insta-kill you, besides, getting past the horde of Pinkertons that Spawn is a challenge enough.

[@spicyspaghetti8512]

Thanks a ton for this guide! Worked perfectly for me, the route is great.

Dude the most annoying part about doing this is that if you die and then reload the save, the stupid buggy doesn’t spawn back and you have to go ALL THE WAY back to Saint Denis to get another one

[@boglurker2043]

To anyone struggling with this: Make a separate save at Fort Riggs and use the spawn buggy cheat. Get some easy practice in and it saves you driving 10 minutes to get to new Austin every time. Once you feel confident, go back to the normal save and do it for real. Also don’t spam the sprint button because Arthur will sometimes sit up in the buggy and you can get killed very easily.

[@rishitshah4338]

How do I activate the spawn buggy cheat

[@Dubmentia]

​@@rishitshah4338 I'm almost a year late and I'm sure you looked it up by now lmao. Pause and go to settings. Hit whatever button it says for enter a cheat code. Then type in, "Keep your dreams light" and it'll unlock the cheat. Keep in mind though, unlocking the cheat is fine to do at anytime. But once you actually use/enable a cheat it disables saving and achievements until you load a game with no activated cheats.

[@ThePhDSpanish]

For players on console, this still works but it's easier to drive around NA in first person mode. You still turn off the camera follow and widen the field of view in settings. If you get the buggy from St Denis and do this mission before you rescue Sean in chapter 2, just go full speed through Beecher's Hope. You'll get spotted, but just stay on the road towards Thieves' Landing and you should drop your wanted level right before. If you drop your wanted level, no lawmen will ever spot you on the roads in NA unless you commit a crime. Stay in third person until you cross the first bridge into NA, but once you are over you should be able to safely transition to first person mode. Just use the left analog stick to steer (don't bother using the right analog until you've switched to third person), avoid sharp inclines/declines, and take turns wide as much as possible. I would advise practicing the switch from first person to the farthest third person camera while keeping yourself hidden, and then practice getting in and out gathering herbs. Switching to first person from third is just a press of the button so no danger there. This eliminates a lot of the risk of getting shot while driving if you don't adjust the camera fast enough on a turn, and you can also go a lot faster as a result. Only died once this way when I tried to turn around too slow and got shot. You can stop in first person mode, but cannot reverse.

[@teisenberg_238_]

Thank you for the tip sir. I had a few questions: 1. Does this still work in PS4 (01/01/2024). 2. So you need to switch to Third person (wide FOV) before exiting the buggy to obtain the Herbs right?

[@ThePhDSpanish]

@@teisenberg_238_ 1. As far as I know, still works on all consoles. 2. Yes, drive in first person to roughly the right spot for each herb, then stop (do NOT reverse). Once you're stopped switch to the farthest third person while also moving the camera above and slightly to the right, like in the video, before collecting the herbs. I practiced this before attempting to enter the blackwater/NA area with regular herbs. It's not too tricky but it's worth it to get right. Another tip, since you won't need to worry about law if you follow my instructions through blackwater, is to stay on main roads - don't use the path through the marsh by theives landing, and don't bother with train tracks. Roads are safe and don't have random bumps that can cause the camera angle to change and get you shot.
