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

I'm convinced the 'sniper' is actually Quiet from MGSV

[@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.

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. Maybe there's other reasons

[@MaynardCrow]

If you don't patch the game, you just replay the mission "Angelo Bronte, Man of Honor" and get spotted by police in the cemetery, then escape and finish the mission. After that, just go into the southern part of the map and no lawmen or invisible snipers bother you unless you start a massacre or otherwise draw attention. I completed every challenge as Arthur using that method. Only things I couldn't do were trigger final fishing mission and taxidermy mission, which you have to be John to do.

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

The RDR2 glitch incident 😭

[@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.

[@boof994]

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.

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.

[@Original2c]

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.

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.

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.

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.

[@doedyman6918]

I can't believe nobody thought of doing this voice😂 I'm subscribing

[@18huslah]

In what voice?

[@doedyman6918]

It's Arthur Morgan's

[@knowur10sand18s]

Whoever does the narration is absolutely phenomenal. I could listen to them list the ingredients off a can of beans.

[@aspect3896]

its an arthur ai voice

[@leilaniaileenlove]

That "sniper" makes absolutely no sense at all whatsoever...

[@leilaniaileenlove]

Always shooting from behind even when Arthur turns around...?

[@noah-xt9tx]

Yeah it's a bullshit preventative measure to keep the player from going there before the epilogue which sucks that's a lot of map

[@anakinskinwalker1724]

Just like how you get instantly wanted when an NPC (not even a lawman or Pinkerton) spots sight of you

[@noah-xt9tx]

@@anakinskinwalker1724 in regular gameplay the witness function is really poorly thought out

[@Turk_2023]

Why not just have bounty hunters galore coming at you that you can kill but never completely be safe

Finally finished herbalist 9 and even sold the buggy to the fence in Emerald Ranch.. this one really frustrated me, but after 5 tries I finally succeeded to get all the 4 herbs🎉

[@sonnywhispaz11]

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

[@lefu7812]

the voice over is genius!

[@timhibbard4226]

You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. It took a lot of tries and practice, but I finally got the four New Austin herbs using your route. Thanks from August of 2024.

[@HeddvildNo]

i just started for a few tries yesterday do you have any tips with the camera angle while driving? or for picking the plants, im on xbox if that matter

[@Cattivagirl]

​@@HeddvildNoSwitch to Photo Mode in the Pause Menu for consoles to extend your "3rd-Person Field of View." As for picking up the herbs, angle the camera upward to the buggy's back right corner. Then adjust it as Arthur exits the buggy & picks up the herbs.

[@djdrummerdude1181]

Finally got the missing 4. Arthur will be having whiskey and a crab BBQ in the morning.

[@droopyleopard7880]

Beautiful voice and information. I just found your channel and I'm in love. Keep on keeping on.

[@JROC734]

That's pretty bad ass. The Legendary Pronghorn would be awesome to get in Chapter 2. The Fence makes you a talisman that keeps animals you put on your horse from spoiling with the Legendary Pronghorn.

[@grahambtransparency9146]

U have to practice to find the sweet spot to pick up the herb so the camera doesn't pop through the wagon. Find a Appleseed wagon the sweet spot is easier.

[@theocharles3929]

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.

[@ScreamingReel500]

You sir, sure are a fish. I gave up long time ago with all these challenges which seem a lot of YT researching, such as all the dream catchers and the small caliber hunting...etc. I'm glad you had fun doing this lol. it makes me laugh. Thank you.

[@KWyzel]

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.

[@saracodd3948]

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

[@nosai4]

This is helpful guidance on how to do it properly. With a couple of hints from others, I managed to complete collecting the herbs. Thanks for posting.

[@jeppelangager8795]

Hints such as? I’m desperate😅

[@samxyx]

The dumbest thing is how the sniper is shooting at your back, and then when you turn around and go back the way you came he's still shooting at your back!

[@stosh64]

Thank you! I almost quit using the wagon method, first try with the little buggy and SUCCESS!!! Next Im going for legendarys , bones and the trapper list! Still in chapter 2.

[@karanmadavi732]

This is the best and easiest way to do Herbalist 9 in new austin. Thank u so much

[@CFarnwide]

I watched your horseman challenge and loved it… and this is just as good! Thank you sir, you’ve earned a new subscriber 😎

[@TSE_WOODY]

first from this channel I’ve watched, voiceover sounds like the guy who did the Agency voice from Crackdown doing an impression of Arthur. Thoroughly enjoyable.

[@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.

[@vdobob36]

Thanks! This still works and I was in chapter 4, the horseman blackwater guide works too. After many tries was able to get the legends outfit with Arthur as well. He’s now relaxing in the St Denis hotel.

[@user-thorn]

You can go first person on the buggy I find easier to not get shot

[@blubba2609]

the best and greatest video about rdr2 in youtube (and anywhere ;.)) --- great thanks!!!

[@robertpaul9799]

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]

You sir, are a legend! Just followed your route and completed this challenge as Arthur and eventually got the LOTE outfit! It was a bit of pain driving the buggy from Saint Denis all the way to New Austin, trial and error and getting used to driving it but finally! Hats off to you

[@rowan2064]

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.

[@tigerwoods373]

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I always get killed right after the del lobo hideout when you get on the tracks. First I thought I wasn't going fast enough, was worried about keeping the camera angle right. There's always a group of lawmen at the tracks too. Even drinking special health or miracle tonics doesn't save me from dying. Getting tired of having to start all the way back in Saint Denis.

[@astanton]

Lose wanted status right before bridge, where the sniper appears. And there are no lawmen you'll see.

[@GiovanniSirianni123]

I’m with you on this managed to get one herb but tried 4/5 times always get picked off just after the del lobos camp. Finding it so hard to try again takes me 20 mins to go get the buggy and restart
