The latest Runaways update adds a lot more than just a new vehicle. The update introduces quests, daily rewards, new codes, class improvements, vehicle changes, better loot values, balance changes, and several quality-of-life improvements. There are also changes to fueling, ATMs, weapons, and some robbery mechanics. If you are returning to Runaways after a break, this guide covers the main changes you should know before starting your next run.
New Quests in Runaways
One of the biggest additions is the new Quest system. You can now see different objectives on the side of your screen while playing. These quests give you extra rewards for completing normal activities during a run. For example, one objective can ask you to earn a certain amount of cash, with rewards given after you complete the requirement.
The best way to use the new system is to complete quests while doing your normal robberies. Instead of going out of your way to finish every objective, try to combine them with things you already need to do. This gives your runs an additional source of rewards without adding much extra work.
New Daily Rewards
Runaways also added a Daily Reward system. You can claim different rewards by logging into the game regularly. The rewards change as you progress through the daily reward track, giving you another reason to return even if you are not planning a long robbery run.
Make sure to check the daily reward menu whenever you enter the game. Free rewards can be useful when you are saving for better classes, vehicles, or equipment.
New Classes UI
The Classes interface has also been added or improved, making it easier to view the available classes from the lobby. You can now check the classes available to you and purchase them directly through the interface.
Since different classes provide different starting equipment and bonuses, this is worth checking before spending your Credz. A good class can make early robbery runs much easier, especially if you are trying to build up enough money for better equipment.
New Jeep Vehicle
A new Jeep has been added to the vehicle selection. The vehicle costs around 249 Robux, although the price can be lower for players with Plus. It is not the fastest vehicle available, but it offers better protection than some of the basic options.
The new Jeep has:
- Decent speed
- Improved armor compared with the starter vehicle
- Better survivability during police encounters
- A higher fuel capacity than the basic vehicle
It is more focused on survivability than pure speed. If your main goal is reaching the destination as quickly as possible, there are faster options. However, the extra durability can be useful during dangerous runs.
New Runaways Codes
Codes have also been added to the Shop interface. Two codes mentioned with the update are:
- SUPERCAT — Gives a pistol
- RUN — Gives free Credits
Make sure to redeem codes as soon as possible because Roblox game codes can be removed or changed by the developers. The SUPERCAT reward gives you a pistol in the lobby, which can then be useful during your runs.
ATM Rewards Have Been Increased
One of the most useful changes for making money is the increase to several robbery rewards. ATMs now provide more cash, making them more worthwhile targets during a run.
The update also increases rewards from several other sources, including:
- ATM safes
- Mail safes
- Mailboxes
- Trash
- Other loot sources
This means you can potentially build your cash balance faster than before, especially if you focus on valuable targets instead of wasting time collecting low-value items.
Fueling Your Vehicle Is Easier
The vehicle fueling system has received an important quality-of-life improvement. Refueling is now much easier to interact with, so you should spend less time struggling with the fuel station controls.
The new vehicle also has a larger fuel capacity, allowing you to carry more fuel during a run. This can be useful when traveling long distances toward the final destination because you will not need to stop as frequently. A simple strategy is to refuel whenever you reach a gas station instead of waiting until your tank is almost empty.
New Loot Changes
Several loot and robbery mechanics have been adjusted.
Some items that previously required specific actions can now be held and punched, making them easier to interact with.
This is particularly useful when dealing with certain robbery objects that previously required more awkward interactions.
The update also includes various changes to the value of loot, so some items may now be more profitable than before.
Sniper Bullet Changes
Sniper bullets have received a buff. They now work as collateral and also deal slightly more damage. This makes sniper ammunition more powerful, particularly when dealing with groups of enemies. If you already use sniper weapons during your runs, the changes make them more attractive for combat-heavy robberies.
Weapon and Combat Changes
Several combat-related elements have also been adjusted. Some enemies may feel stronger because of damage changes, so you should be more careful when entering heavily guarded locations.
The update also includes various buffs and nerfs across the game’s equipment and economy systems. Because of these balance changes, an item that was previously considered weak may now be more useful, while some popular options may no longer be as effective.
New Trailer Home
A new Trailer Home location has been added somewhere around the map. You can find it while driving and potentially enter the location to search for loot. The exact location may take some exploration to find, so players who enjoy searching the map should keep an eye out for it during their runs. It gives you another possible robbery location and adds more variety to the map.
New Horn Feature
Vehicles can now honk their horns. This is mostly a small quality-of-life feature rather than something that changes the game’s progression, but it gives the vehicles another interaction.
It does not have a major impact on making money or escaping the police, so you can safely treat it as an extra feature rather than an important part of your strategy.
Credit Shop Balance Changes
The update also makes several changes to the Credit Shop. Classes and other purchases have been balanced, which should make the progression system feel more consistent.
If you have been saving Credz for a new class, it is worth checking the current prices and bonuses rather than relying on older guides.
The changes can affect which classes provide the best value, especially for newer players who do not have a large amount of money saved.
UI and Quality-of-Life Improvements
Several parts of the game’s interface have been improved. The update includes changes to menus and other UI elements to make them easier to use. These improvements may not completely change how you play, but they make navigating the game less frustrating.
The new quest interface, class menu, daily rewards, and updated Shop are some of the most noticeable changes.
The latest Runaways update is packed with changes that affect both new and experienced players. The addition of quests, daily rewards, new classes UI, a new Jeep, codes, improved ATM rewards, better fueling, combat changes, and a new Trailer Home gives you plenty of reasons to jump back into the game.
For making money, the increased ATM and other loot rewards are especially useful. Meanwhile, players focused on escaping the police should pay attention to their vehicle choice, fuel capacity, armor, and movement speed.
The best way to take advantage of the update is to combine the new systems instead of focusing on only one. Complete quests while robbing locations, collect daily rewards, use the new codes, and spend your Credz carefully as you work toward better equipment and vehicles.
