Glitches

  1. Get Early Access to West Elizabeth

    Look for a cliff near the waterfall north of MacFarlane ranch, it will say "Tall Trees" when you get to the edge. Get arrested here, and you will be transported to Blackwater. To get back to New Austin, Auto-Save the game and then die. However if you buy the Manzanita Post property, you'll have to use your horse to jump the unfinished bridge north of Thieves Landing to return.
  2. Homing Fire Bottles (Pre-Patch)

    No pre-prep is needed for this glitch as it works everytime, as this was overlooked by the developers in Rockstar. When equipped with the fire bottle, you are still allowed to go into dead eye. Although the aiming reticule will be gone, it is still "present" during dead eye mode, in the middle of the screen. Therefore, you can still "paint" a cross on your enemies, assuming if you have the reticule on any part of their body. Once marked, Marston will throw the fire bottle. When thrown, the fire bottle defies gravity and actually locks onto the enemy you selected and acts like a flaming homing missile. This is great for people speeding away on horses/carts. The bottle will keep flying until it hits the target and explodes in a fireball.
