If you’ve jumped into Roblox lately, you might’ve noticed that Dead Rails just dropped its April Fool’s update, and it’s a chaotic blast. This update brings two brand-new game modes that’ll have you laughing, strategizing, and maybe even neighing your way through the game.
I’ve been messing around with it all day, and here’s my take on what’s new, how to snag that shiny horse class, and some tips to survive the madness.
Fool’s Gold mode
First up, we’ve got Fool’s Gold mode, and trust me, it’s as unpredictable as it sounds. The world is littered with chunks of fool’s gold, and every time you sell one, something wild happens. You might score a fat stack of cash, a random key, or even trigger a disaster that leaves you scrambling. I’ve had runs where I walked away with 100 bucks feeling like a king, and others where I got a measly dollar and a zombie buddy who wouldn’t leave me alone.
Pro tip: keep selling whenever you can—those random effects are half the fun, and you never know when you’ll hit the jackpot. Game passes and shop items work here too, so don’t sleep on using them to boost your haul.
Horsing Around mode
Then there’s Horsing Around mode, which is hands-down the star of this update. No trains, just you and a long stretch of land to cross. The goal is to make it to the end and unlock the horse class. Once you do, you become an actual horse—galloping around, gun in hoof (somehow), and leaving other players scratching their heads at the sight.
It’s permanent too, confirmed by Rico Miller himself, the mastermind behind Dead Rails. The catch is that it’s a grind to get there, and your sack space drops to 10 as a horse, which might be a bug or just a hilarious trade-off. Either way, it’s worth it for the absurdity alone.
If you want that horse class: play Horsing Around, tough it out to the finish line without a train, and you’ll snag it. I’ve seen folks stack horses on top of each other (yes, really) and even saddle up to let teammates ride along. It’s ridiculous, it’s slow, and it’s absolutely brilliant. Just don’t expect it to be a quick unlock—this one’s for the patient players.
Fool’s Gold Tips
For Fool’s Gold, my advice is simple: explore every building, grab all the fool’s gold you can carry, and sell it like your life depends on it. The effects range from “oh sweet, a unicorn worth 10 bonds!” to “great, another dollar and a coal lump.” It’s a rollercoaster, so lean into the chaos and enjoy the ride. And those keys you keep finding? They unlock keyholes scattered around—keep an eye out for those.
No new codes dropped with this update, sadly, but the fun here doesn’t need them. This is Dead Rails letting loose, and it’s a perfect April Fool’s treat. Give it a shot, and let me know your favorite moments.
