| Activity | Possible? | |----------|------------| | Complete all Chapter 6 story missions | ✅ Yes (until final mission) | | Stranger missions (Charlotte, Hamish, Edith Downes) | ✅ Yes | | Hunting & crafting | ✅ Yes (except New Austin animals) | | Challenges | ⚠️ Some (Herbalist 9, Horseman 9 require New Austin → deadly sniper) | | Treasure hunts | ✅ Yes (except Otis Miller’s) | | Legendary animals | ⚠️ Only those not in New Austin | | Gang hideouts | ✅ Yes (except Fort Mercer, Gaptooth, etc.) | | Free roam after Epilogue | ❌ No (you need Epilogue save) |

The best moment to create a permanent save is immediately after the mission "The King’s Son" (rescuing Chief Rains Fall’s herbs) and right before "Visiting Hours" (the prison break).

At this point:

Here is a pro-tip for PC users: Combine a Chapter 6 save file with a mod to change the character model. Using "Lenny's Simple Trainer" (LST) , you can load a Chapter 6 save, swap the model to John Marston, and continue playing as "John" in Arthur’s timeline. This allows you to use John’s unique satchel and hairstyles while Arthur’s camp is still alive.
