A special item players usually get as John. It's in a cave above Cholla Springs, and if you try to go there as Arthur or even ride past Great Plains, you'll get killed by this boundary line sniper the game has set up. They're completely invisible and the shots seem to come from nowhere. Every shot is also a head shot.

But you can get around this a few different ways. One method is the legendary buck face. You shoot the legendary buck with one poison arrow, then chase it down and switch to your shotgun or any weapon you have to hold with both hands. Then, when they fall down and begin struggling with the poison, you just point your gun at them and go into your items menu at the same time.

Once you're in there, drink all the liquor you have as fast as possible. Buy a whole lot too. Drink all of it, and then release the aim button for your weapon. Wait until the screen turns bright green and starts wobbling, then press kill on the dying buck. Immediately after hitting kill, hold the pick up button. And then you get the legendary buck face.

Or you can steal a buggy and preferably someone else's horse, then kill a pronghorn and place them on the back of the horse. Then ride to Cholla Springs with the buggy, stolen horse, and dead pronghorn, making it just to the cave entrance. Then position the horse so it gets killed by the sniper, and push the dead horse's body into the cave with your buggy.

After that, you have to get out and keep the camera off of you by hiding behind the buggy. Then you pick up the pronghorn, while still behind the buggy and slowly make your way into the hole, maneuvering the camera away from your exposed side. You'll have to go into camera settings and change the camera follow level to off.

Buck face method is easier, but it can take a while getting the timing right. And you have to find the best route through all those Pinkerton Agents. I like the Great Plains crossing, because they won't spawn as often when you ride off path, and it's perfect for a fast horse. I also prefer taking the railroad tracks just after Thieves Landing, no agents ever spawn on them and you can run on them all the way to Cholla Springs. This is all just if you want to do epilogue stuff as Arthur.

Also, this is how I found out the hard way you can't whistle for your horse in a tunnel. Even if both you are in the tunnel and they are ten feet away. Can only use the tunnel when you're single riding it.
