Strap in! Joining us for the ride is our new Polygon video friend, Brian Gilbert!

Welcome back, Awful Squad friends! Today we’re trying to get into character with the newly-released desert map, complete with cowboy classics like the lever-action rifle and sawed-off shotgun. And therefore, we’ll probably force ourselves to talk like cowboys for a round or two.
