Best way to explore the entire map as Arthur?

[Punished Eric]

Title. I've used the mod to disable out of bounds snipers but towns don't work at all. I really just want to play the open world as Arthur because I don't like playing as John. Has anyone made places like Blackwater and Armadillo full functional when playing as Arthur? Does anyone have some kind of work around?

There was a glitch in that one Bronte msission where you and John go to the cemetery, after that segment in mission you and John can get anywhere you like. I dunno if it still works, but it is the best one so far imho

I didn't know about this glitch, this video goes over most of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D97gvh864xc There are still limitations but thank you for bringing this to my attention.

I tried getting into Black-water & Armadillo the more I tried the more came after you, eventually you're surrounded sometimes you'll see them at the border, lmao ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
has anyone ever fixed the fishing on the PC?
every time I get the legendary fish, it either pulls the string out then snaps

I had the same problem so every time I fish I have to switch to my controller which I have plugged in so you could buy a gamepad if you don't have one

as for the topic of the thread I found this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/638/
which is an edited save file. I've yet to try it but I am very eager to do so.

If you have an ASIloader and a scripthook drop this in your main folder and you will never be ticking that setting in rampage again. I'm not 100% about towns not working I think I tried using this mod a year ago, blackwater and armadillo just didn't load in people, if it was a problem on my end and this mod has blackwater and armadillo fully functional please let me know.

I checked, in rampage trainer when you disable out of bound snipers and enable "Never Wanted" when going into New Austin or the great plains/tall trees as Arthur, once you reach armadillo or blackwater they will be functionless as towns. People show up eventually but every business is gone. In Armadillo a bartender spawned but I couldn't interact with him.

i also should of said i also used lockdown manager as well to remove red zones apart from blackwater and sisika etc using that lets me walk round without any hassle or should do anyway

I did not know of the Lockdown manager and it works great! Blackwater's theatre doesn't work but the saloon has a blip and spawned in a bartender and gamblers, the other stores such as the tailor and the general store are there but aren't marked on the map so you just have to know where they are. Tumbleweed and Armadillo showed all map markers though.
You still need to disable New Austin Sniper, got killed once thinking I'd be fine once the red zone was taken down.

It might sound complicated at first, but it is worth the effort, for I ride with Arthur all the map with almost no restrictions but those, I make for myself ;-)

Two mods plus the Scripthook from AB-Software is all you need here,
but beware: playing with mods online might ban you from R*-Services!

1., Lockdown Manager to switch off red zones:
https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/887

2., Disable all out of bound snipers:
https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/877

3., Latest version of AB script hook, needed for almost all rdr2-mods:
http://dev-c.com/rdr2/scripthookrdr2/

- there exist different non-AB-versions of script hooks, but using only this two mods you should need no other than the original scripthook from AB, even the latest one from Nov 2019 works fine, if you are not depending on certain special modifications of the game.

The scripthook download comes with a native trainer too
(no need to use it though, when you need no trainer, you need not copy this file into rdr, scripthook works good without it and the less changes on the game, the better)
and it comes with the dinput8.dll (this library / asi-loader is needed anyway)

Lockdown manager you have to use only once, when you have deactivated your desired redzones and save the game, the redzone-statii will be kept in the following savegames.

Using mods can make the game a lot more immersive in many ways, but it is mandatory
->> to read mod instructions, how to install etc very carefully to avoid game crashes!

Once you've set it up, there is no need to deactivate the snipers on every game-start like you would with a trainer. Works fine with trainers too, but those trainers might be quite overkill for some and they are not needed for this, keep the modifications as low as possible ;-) But that's just my 5c.
Just sayin', no pun intended, ever!

Rampage trainer
easy to add, good settings
disable the stupid sniper, disable wanted and explore in peace

R* can go f themselves with cut content, oversights (legendary outfit) and this laughable epilog, other people had to fix the game

yeah I finally finished the story and I found it kind of absurd that the epilogue only took place in west elizabeth. New Austin is just in the game for fun and for the fans, but I really did expect to be called down to Armadillo or Tumbleweed to hunt down Micah, but no: there's no narratave reason to have New Austin in this incredibly narritave focused game.

I wake up every day hoping I live in the timeline where this is just an open world cowboy simulator that completely lacks a story and instead put it's budget into the world and the world alone
