How do I fix the "invisible sniper" glitch in New Austin?

The ''invisible sniper'' glitch in Red Dead Redemption 2 is a well-known issue that occurs when players attempt to explore New Austin as Arthur Morgan before the epilogue. The game enforces a boundary in this region by spawning an invisible sniper who instantly kills Arthur if he ventures too far into New Austin. This mechanic is intentional to prevent Arthur from accessing content reserved for John Marston in the epilogue. However, there are ways to bypass this glitch and explore New Austin as Arthur.\n\nTo fix or bypass the invisible sniper glitch, you can use the ''Bronte glitch'' method. This method involves exploiting a mission in Chapter 4 called ''Angelo Bronte, A Man of Honor.'' During this mission, the game temporarily disables the invisible sniper, allowing Arthur to explore New Austin without being killed. To trigger this glitch, you must complete the mission up to the point where you escape the graveyard with Jack. After escaping, instead of returning to camp, ride directly to New Austin. The sniper will not spawn, and you can freely explore the region.\n\nAnother method involves using a covered wagon for protection. The sniper''s bullets cannot penetrate the wagon''s cover, so you can use it as a shield while traveling through New Austin. To do this, steal a covered wagon (found in towns like Valentine or Strawberry) and position Arthur so that he is hidden under the wagon''s canopy. Drive carefully to avoid tipping the wagon, and you can explore New Austin without being shot. This method requires patience and precise positioning, as the sniper will still target Arthur if he is exposed.\n\nFor players who prefer a more straightforward approach, mods or save editors can disable the invisible sniper entirely. However, these methods are only available on PC and may affect the game''s stability or achievements. If you choose to use mods, ensure you back up your save files and follow installation instructions carefully. Console players are limited to in-game methods like the Bronte glitch or wagon trick.\n\nIt''s important to note that bypassing the invisible sniper glitch may lead to unintended consequences, such as missing dialogue or incomplete interactions in New Austin. Some content, like legendary animals or specific missions, is designed for John Marston and may not function correctly for Arthur. Always save your game before attempting these methods to avoid losing progress.\n\nIn summary, the invisible sniper glitch can be bypassed using the Bronte glitch, a covered wagon, or mods (on PC). Each method has its challenges and risks, so choose the one that best suits your playstyle. Remember to save frequently and enjoy exploring New Austin as Arthur Morgan, even if it means bending the game''s rules a little.
