This week’s Red Dead Online update is focused on last cowboy standing pursuits, as the Gun Rush PvP mode adds a few more hardcore elements. Developer Rockstar detailed all this and more in its latest blog post, which you can read the highlights of below.

Gun Rush Deals Out Double Rewards This Week

Red Dead Online kicks this week’s update off with a hardcore take on Gun Rush and Gun Rush Teams. A battle royale with a western flavor, Gun Rush this week will pit players against each other in a shrinking area where they can’t use Ability cards or Tonics. A number of weapons are fortunately scattered around the arena though, and emerging victorious from this environment will earn you a 50% discount on any hat up to Rank 15.

Whether you ultimately win or lose though, all participants will walk away with double the cash and experience points prizes that they’d normally receive on all hardcore versions of Gun Rush and Gun Rush Teams in the Featured series.

A New Source Of Employment Bonuses

Double payouts can be expected this week when you pick up a telegram from your pen-pal “J,” and completing any A New Source of Employment missions will reward you with a free treasure map.

Rewards For Outlaw Pass No. 5 Members

All Outlaw Pass No. 5 members receive a reward for a free role outfit or emote, five fast travel vouchers, and 2,000 character experience points. Playing Red Dead Online between now and April 26 also earns you 3,000 Club XP, two Miracle Tonics, and all Camp setup fees will also be waived.

Discounts

Wheeler, Rawson, and Company has several deals on camping supplies, pamphlets, and ammo available this week.

• All ammo – 50% discount
• All pamphlets – 40% discount
• All products sold by wilderness outfitters – 40% discount
• Deluxe campfire – 40% discount

Prime Gaming Benefits

Red Dead Online players who connect their Rockstar Games Social Club account to Prime Gaming will receive a free Bounty Hunter license and a free Trimmed Amethyst bounty wagon livery. Connecting before May 10 also unlocks a free Varmint rifle, 30% off the Hunting Wagon, and 50 free Trader Goods.

Red Dead Redemption 2 has become a huge hit for Rockstar since it launched in 2018, selling more than 36 million copies so far. Red Dead Online, which arrived not long after the game debuted, has seen player numbers continue to rise since the multiplayer component became a standalone offering.

Just because Fortnite isn’t currently on Apple devices doesn’t mean Fortnite can’t be on Apple devices, as in decorating your iPhone or Apple Watch with a new line of merch from Casetify. The Fortnite X Casetify Collection has been revealed and gives fans of Epic’s battle royale several new ways to show off their fandom.

The collection features some of Fortnite’s most iconic original characters like battle-hardened pink teddy bear Cuddle Team Leader, the goofy Durrr Burger mascot, the llama showstopper DJ Yonder, and Peely, the bipedal banana each featured on Apple iPhone cases compatible with models starting at the iPhone 7 all the way to the iPhone 12. The collection will be first available on May 6, but those interested can get added to the waitlist starting today.

If you want the full range of Fortnite X Casetify merch, you can extend your fandom to your wrist with Apple Watch wristbands including one made to look like a VIP pass you’d wear at a live event and another featuring a collage of Fortnite phrases and characters. If all that emoting makes you thirsty, there’s also a water bottle in the collection featuring a similar collage design on a black metal bottle. You can complete the collection with an AirPods case that includes a keychain so you don’t misplace it.

The full range will be priced between $35-52 and products will ship worldwide. If you prefer your Fortnite purchases be in-game, don’t miss the new Gaming Legends character, Aloy from Horizon Forbidden West.

Another Resident Evil Re:Verse beta test is happening later this week, and it’s open to anyone who downloads the game client on supported consoles. According to a tweet from Capcom, the beta will run from April 20 at 11 PM PT / April 21 at 1 AM PT to April 21 at 11 PM PT / April 22 at 1 AM PT.

As with previous beta periods, Resident Evil Re:Verse is playable on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC (via Steam). The PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game are the previous-gen versions played through backward compatibility. Since it’s a beta, you may experience unexpected maintenance and downtime, which some players complained about in a different beta test back in early April.

Re:Verse is a competitive shooter in the vein of previous multiplayer Resident Evil games, such as the poorly-received Umbrella Corps. Players control heroes or villains from the RE series and duke it out for supremacy, with downed foes becoming bioweapons that can be attached to other players. You can also obtain Virus Capsules to become stronger as a match progresses.

Re:Verse is the multiplayer game that will accompany the hotly-anticipated Resident Evil Village when it launches on May 7. If you missed the extremely limited demo of Village from a few days ago, don’t fret: The game is actually getting multiple demos, and the next one is set for April 24.

Actress Haley Bennett (The Devil All the Time, Hillbilly Elegy), who plays an unspecified role in the upcoming Borderlands movie, has shared what looks to be a first look at the video game movie’s script. Posting on Instagram, Bennett shared a photo of her script, which appears to be a draft dated March 31, 2021.

The image also reveals that the Borderlands film script has gone through a number of revisions, which is not uncommon. It says the original screenplay was written by Oren Uziel (The Cloverfield Paradox), based on Gearbox’s video game. Craig Mazin, who wrote the Hangover sequels and HBO’s Chernobyl, conducted the first revision. Tony Rettenmaier (Drone) and Juel Taylor (Creed II) then added more revisions. Finally, director Eli Roth appears to have had a hand in writing the Borderlands movie, too, as he is listed as the person who wrote the current revisions.

In Bennet’s picture you can almost see some of the script on the page behind the cover, but it’s too fuzzy to make out what any of the lines might be.

Bennet’s role in the Borderlands movie remains unknown at this stage. IGN reported that Bennet’s character will play a “key” role in the character Lilith’s past. Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett will play Lilith in the movie.

The Borderlands movie has assembled a big cast of huge names including Jack Black as Claptrap, Kevin Hart as Roland, and Jamie Lee Curtis as Tannis, in addition to Blanchett as Lilith. Ariana Greenblatt, who played young Gamora in Avengers: Endgame, will play Tiny Tina. Edgar Ramirez (Zero Dark Thirty) is lined up to play the villainous Atlas, while Janina Gavankar has been tapped to play Commander Knox.

Borderlands Movie Cast

• Cate Blanchett — Lilith
• Jamie Lee Curtis — Tannis
• Edgar Ramirez — Atlas
• Jack Black — Claptrap
• Kevin Hart — Roland
• Ariana Greenblatt — Tiny Tina
• Florian Munteanu — Kreig
• Janina Gavankar — Commander Knoxx
• Olivier Richters — Krom
• Haley Bennett — Unannounced new character

Recently, Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford clarified that there is a distinction between what he called the Borderlands Cinematic Universe and the Borderlands Video Game Universe.

“We are authentic to characters, tone and style, but allow for independent storylines. The mediums are not the same, so the content should not be bound to the same rules,” he said.

Pitchford also touched on the subject of whether or not the Borderlands movie is canon. It is canon, but only to the cinematic universe of Borderlands, he clarified.

“The movie is canon to the cinematic universe. The games are canon to the video game universe. There are parallels between them, but also differences. It’s okay. Consider how Marvel has handled movies versus comic books for reference if this is hard for you to understand,” he said on Twitter.

Filming on the Borderlands movie is expected to begin soon in Budapest, if it hasn’t already.

As for the Borderlands game series, the Borderlands 3 Director’s Cut released on April 8 following a delay related to the terrible storms in the studio’s home state of Texas.

Online retailer Tsukumo, Fractal Design, and Kojima Productions have joined forces to produce an official Death Stranding PC case. Much like the game’s broader philosophical themes, chances are that you simply won’t get it as this case is exclusive to the Japanese retailer and priced at $248 with shipping included.

If you are prepared to shell out, the trailer below will show you what you can expect. This happens to be a PC case that is designed to evoke the look and feel of the cargo that Death Stranding’s protagonist Sam Porter Bridges carried around hostile terrain, complete with a blue, red, and yellow color scheme.

On a technical level, the case can house up to a regular ATX motherboard, has two dedicated mounts for 3.5″ and 2.5″ hard drives, and its front interface has space for four USB ports.

Death Stranding arrived on PC back in July last year, where it did some solid business. Publisher 505 Games’ parent organization Digital Bros shared the game’s revenue figures earlier this month, and reported that for the year ending December 31, 2020, Death Stranding managed to earn more than $27 million. That impressive sum put it ahead of other major AAA games like Control and Ghostrunner for the year.

If the PC case above isn’t to your tastes, perhaps the one being given away by Xbox France to promote the latest world update for Microsoft Flight Simulator will be more to your liking. Featuring some beefy specs, what makes this case stand out is that it’ll resemble a jet turbine, complete with a massive fan and a polished metal frame.
