Earn Your Blood Money Across a Series of Daring Robberies

New Opportunities and More Coming in Next Week’s Red Dead Online Update

Step into the burgeoning criminal underworld of Red Dead Online: Blood Money on July 13, and prove you are willing to get your hands dirty in service to some particularly notorious and well-connected members of Saint Denis society.

Blood Money
There are whispers in the alleys of Lemoyne’s capital that Guido Martelli — right-hand man and underboss to the infamous Angelo Bronte — needs gunslingers of strong constitution. Martelli is seeking to recover a valuable commodity known as Capitale. Originally devised as a unique system of exchange for more sensitive business dealings away from the watchful eyes of the taxman, it’s since ended up in the hands of nearly every lowlife across the five states. Now, Bronte and Martelli want it back — if you can find and return it, Martelli will reward you with access to more worthwhile criminal opportunities.

Martelli is purely focused on results — entry into this world of more civilized crime requires nothing beyond a trusty sidearm and the willingness to use it, and no upfront investment is required.

Crimes and Opportunities

Martelli has entrusted some of The West’s most reprehensible soldiers of fortune with leads on where you might find Capitale. Visiting these contacts will reveal an entirely new type of work known as Crimes. Crimes will range from cloak-and-dagger coach holdups to multi-stage robberies — including kidnapping, brutal debt collections, and more.

Embark on Crimes either as a lone gun or with a full Posse of cutthroats alongside you. During each outing, keep a keen wit and search high and low for signs of Capitale to return to Guido Martelli — including from hidden chests or on the remains of those who’ve crossed your path. As you traverse the plains in Free Roam, you may hear of unlocked Homesteads and vulnerable Camps, ripe for the picking and begging to be relieved of a Capitale stash.

Accumulating enough Capitale for Guido Martelli will reveal Opportunities. These are dispatched by Martelli in a scheme to stifle a rising Lemoyne senator who is disrupting Bronte operations throughout the region. Each Opportunity can reveal various approaches to the task at hand — listen into nearby conversations or look out for important targets to uncover new paths to completion and weaken the politician’s position by bringing each of the three Jewels of the West to Martelli. The first of three Opportunities is available on July 13, while two more will unveil themselves in time.

The Quick Draw Club

The Quick Draw Club is a series of four distinct rapid-fire passes, arriving in consecutive installments over the coming months. Purchasing each membership entitles you to rewards, bonuses, and items to help live life on the fringe of the law — starting with Dutch’s outfit, The Redcliff. With each consecutive pass you purchase, you’ll earn additional perks and rewards for continuing the journey.

Each pass will cost 25 Gold Bars, all of which you’ll earn back by completing the Pass’ 25 Ranks. As an added bonus, players who purchase all four passes will receive the upcoming Halloween Pass 2 for free.

New Clothing, Returning Pass Items, and More

In response to your feedback, the Skill and Satchel Pamphlets previously released via the Outlaw Pass — such as unlocking the ability to Fast Travel from a Wilderness Camp — will be placed on general sale at the Fence.

Plus, over the coming weeks and months, some of the most stylish and oft-requested clothing items from Outlaw Passes No. 2 and No. 3 return for players who were unable to obtain them — including Outfits worn by the legendary members of the Van der Linde Gang like Marston’s outfit, The Clelland, Arthur’s Haraway outfit, the Dedham outfit worn by Bill Williamson, and Javier’s The Zapatero outfit.

As part of the July 13th update, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online on PC will offer NVIDIA DLSS support to all Windows users with eligible NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics cards. The newly supported feature boosts frame rates and generates beautiful sharp images.

Stay tuned for more details on next week’s update here at the Newswire.

Legendary mash-ups duo create new song for launch of the Turtle Beach Recon 500 headset
Featuring samples from multiple gaming scenarios, the track is free to view here
New headset features new designs previously unseen in their category

Thursday, 8 July 2021, Sydney: Australian legends of the mash-up scene Mashd N Kutcher have collaborated with global gaming audio brand Turtle Beach to celebrate the launch of the brand’s new Recon 500 headsets. Sampling all manner of gaming sounds, from the click of a keyboard to the pow-pow and screeches of first-person shooters and racing titles, the MNK boys have mixed up a banger which listeners can find on the Turtle Beach SoundCloud.

View the video for “WHEN U COLLAB WITH TURTLE BEACH” here and listen to the track here.

The track, WHEN U COLLAB WITH TURTLE BEACH, samples sounds from the world of gaming, including peripheral sounds such as keypresses, headset jacks and some of their favourite games. Clocking in at just over three minutes, MNK leaned into their childhoods to create a retro electronic grunge vibe to give the track a boss battle feel which aims to soothe the itchy trigger fingers of gamers from all walks of life while demonstrating the breadth of aural dynamism available to gamers on a daily basis.

The new Recon 500 headsets from Turtle Beach are an amalgamation of high-end features previously unseen in their category, such as 60mm Eclipse™ Dual Drivers delivering stunning sound and engineered with AccuTune™ wood composite-injection technology for acoustic perfection. The Recon 500s are available now at retail for RRP$129.95. Mashd N Kutcher’s track is free to listen to via the Turtle Beach SoundCloud.

Country Manager for Turtle Beach, Jeremy Cox, says: “At Turtle Beach we’re all about gaming audio, and with the launch of our next-level Recon 500 headsets we wanted to work with Aussie legends Mashd N Kutcher to create something we’d not attempted before: Music.

The boys who brought us lockdown cheers with Get On the Beers absolutely sMashd it out of the park with WHEN U COLLAB WITH TURTLE BEACH and we’re in awe of what they’ve achieved with just a few gaming sounds.”

Matt, one half of Mashd N Kutcher, says: “A huge portion of our audience are gamers, so we’ve relished the chance to create music made from sounds they’d hear every day. WHEN U COLLAB WITH TURTLE BEACH is, for lack of a better word, a banger and listening to it through Recon 500s is a real treat. We’re interested to see how gamers respond to the track, so have a listen and let us know what you think on socials!”

With more than forty years of gaming audio expertise behind the brand, Turtle Beach leads the industry through continuous innovation in both design and manufacturing, and the Recon 500 headset maintains this tradition.

Recon 500 headsets come in two colours, Black and Arctic White, and are compatible with all gaming platforms. They are available from all major retailers.

KEEP IT CLEAN WITH POWERWASH SIMULATOR’S CHALLENGE MODE UPDATE, OUT NOW!

For those looking for a little more pressure, beat your scores in Challenge Mode!

SYDNEY (8^th July 2021) – Today, independent developer FuturLab released their first content update for Steam Early Access title POWERWASH SIMULATOR. Published by Square Enix Ltd, the latest update (0.4) features new ‘Challenge Mode’, additional cleaning jobs, and some all-important community requested quality of life changes. POWERWASH SIMULATOR lets players wash away their worries with the soothing sounds of high-pressure water. Players can build their very own power washing business and blast away every speck of dirt and grime that they can find. With a unique take on the simulation genre, POWERWASH SIMULATOR focuses on player relaxation and escapism. 

For players looking for a little more pressure, new ‘Challenge Mode’ invites you to fight grime in different scenarios; by washing against the clock in Time Challenge or testing your accuracy by using as little water as possible in Water Challenge. 

“POWERWASH SIMULATOR can offer something for everyone, which is why we created ‘Challenge Mode’,” commented Lead Designer Dan Chequer. “With the deliberate exclusion of limits and time pressures in Career Mode, the new separate Challenge Mode evolved naturally to offer a light bit of competition for those who want it.”

That’s not all for the 0.4 Update! Get into the zen zone with more fantastically filthy things to clean; forage in the forest and help Hunter Lode clean his Treehouse, restore a well-travelled RV to its former glory and lend a helping hand to a ‘copter caked in ash! 

We’ve also added a whole host of quality-of-life changes to improve gameplay, such as a reworked soap system, support for up to 240FPS and an extra level of crouch to get to those hard-to-reach places. You can read all about our QOL changes in our latest Dev Log.

POWERWASH SIMULATOR is currently available on Steam Early Access here:

5th Job Skills have officially arrived in MapleStory M, offering players above Level 200 that have completed job advancement quests, the opportunity to fortify their characters’ abilities by allowing them to upgrade from primary 1-4 Job Skills to use 5th Job Skills.

• Shared Skills: Skills that can be acquired and used by any character regardless of Class or Job.
• Class-Specific Skills: Skills that can only be used by a specific Class (Warrior, Magician, Bowman, Thief, or Pirate).
• Job Skills: Skills that are limited to a specific Job, similar to applications with 1st through 4th Job Skills.

With 5th Job Skills acquired, access to the Arcane River area along with special Arcane River content is granted. The Arcane River provides advanced MapleStory M content including daily quests, the ability to boost Arcane Power and gain stronger Arcane Symbols which enable characters to boost their damage and deal stronger hits when hunting in the Arcane River area. The Arcane River also adds new daily quests which become available after the region’s story quests have been completed.

We have tremendous passion for what we do and look forward to working with the many developers that share our passion to create.”

Our Machinery recently secured a seed round from game developers: Arrowhead Studios, Fatshark founders, Martin Wahlund and Rikard Blomberg, and Avalanche Studios founders, Linus and Viktor Blomberg.
