If you\’re a fan of Red Dead Redemption, you might be wondering how to reach Mexico in Red Dead Redemption 2. This guide will explain how to access this locked part of the world where a lot of Red Dead Redemption 1 story took place.
But before we begin, we must warn you that this text contains massive spoilers regarding the construction of RDR2\’s map and the areas that can be visited. So proceed with caution.
Many players have been trying to reach Mexico in Red Dead Redemption 2, but it\’s not an easy task. There are no official methods of traveling to Mexico, and the only way to do it is by using a few bugs found in the game. It\’s more like a glitch than an intentional feature.
The earliest moment when you can try to travel to Mexico is when you reach the epilogue. This is when you can travel around New Austin located in the south-west part of the map. To reach Mexico, you need to go to the western part of New Austin, where the Coronado river separates New Austin and Mexico.
Once you\’re there, get on your horse and enter the river. Move towards the shore on the opposite side of the river. The water isn\’t deep, so your horse should be able to reach the shore. You can also adjust your course, as the current isn\’t that strong.
Keep moving west until you find a small valley. Follow the valley and reach the end of it. Then start galloping and get on the rocks. When you reach the highest point, press the button to dismount your horse.
If you\’ve completed all the steps correctly, you should be able to explore Mexico. However, you can\’t stay in Mexico for good. The game moves Arthur to New Austin when he dies or sets up a camp. Saving the game in Mexico and loading that save also takes you back to the main map.
It\’s highly probable that this \”hidden\” part of the map will be playable later in Red Dead Online mode or thanks to an expansion. But until then, enjoy your glitchy adventure in Mexico.
