Runaways Roblox has a large number of items that you can find, buy, steal, sell, or use during your runs. While some items are extremely valuable and can give you a large amount of money, others are mainly useful for healing, carrying more loot, or supporting your weapons.
The problem is that not every item is worth picking up. Your inventory space is limited, so knowing which items are valuable and which ones are basically junk can save you a lot of time. This guide covers the different item categories in Runaways, what they do, where to find them, and how much they are worth.
How Items Work in Runaways
Before going through the complete item list, there are a few important things to understand about how items work in Runaways. Different categories have different purposes, and some items can be equipped while others must be carried or automatically added to your balance.
Here are some basic rules to remember:
- Ammo is required for firearms, so make sure you carry the correct ammunition for your weapon.
- Backpacks increase your inventory or carrying capacity.
- Armor increases your maximum HP.
- Cash items are automatically added to your balance when picked up and cannot be equipped.
- Medical items restore a significant amount of HP.
- Food restores HP, but generally less than medical items.
- Some food, such as energy drinks, can also provide additional energy for faster sprinting.
- Junk items have extremely low value and generally should not take up your inventory space.
- Most Household Items are also poor loot choices, with the Pinguin Plushy being a notable exception.
- When searching buildings, prioritize electronics, valuables, cash, and Big Electronics.
- Large loot such as Big Electronics can be transported by car.
Ammo Items
Ammo is essential if you plan to use firearms during your Runaways missions. Different weapons require different ammunition types, so buying the wrong ammo can leave you unable to use your weapon when you need it.
The available ammo includes:
- Bullet Box Light
- Category: Ammo
- Cost: $2,000
- Value: $500
- Transport: Equippable
- Source: Pawn Shop
- Bullet Pack Explosive
- Category: Ammo
- Cost: $650
- Value: $120
- Transport: Equippable

- Bullet Pack Heavy
- Category: Ammo
- Cost: $500
- Value: $50
- Transport: Equippable

- Bullet Pack Shotgun
- Category: Ammo

- Value: $30
- Transport: Equippable
- Source: Pawn Shop
- Bullet Pack Light
- Category: Ammo
- Cost: $200
- Value: $20
- Transport: Equippable
- Source: Pawn Shop
Always check your weapon before purchasing ammunition. Light, Heavy, Shotgun, and Explosive ammo are not interchangeable.
Armor Items
Armor gives your character additional maximum HP, making it useful when you expect to get into fights or enter dangerous areas. Heavy Armor provides the biggest upgrade but also costs much more than the Light version.
- Armor Heavy
- Cost: $10,000
- Value: $1,000
- Source: Pawn Shop
- Transport: Equippable
- Armor Light
- Cost: $2,000
- Value: $200
- Source: Pawn Shop
- Transport: Equippable
If you are trying to save money early on, Light Armor is the cheaper option. Heavy Armor becomes more useful when you have enough money to invest in survivability.
Backpack Items
Backpacks increase how much loot you can carry during a run. Since your inventory space directly affects how much valuable loot you can bring back, upgrading your backpack can be a worthwhile investment.
The available backpacks are:
- Backpack Large
- Cost: $12,000
- Value: $1,200
- Transport: Equippable
- Source: Pawn Shop
- Backpack Medium
- Cost: $5,000
- Value: $500
- Transport: Equippable
- Source: Pawn Shop
- Backpack Small
- Cost: $1,000
- Value: $300
- Transport: Equippable
- Source: Pawn Shop
A larger backpack is particularly useful when you are planning a loot-focused run because you can stay in an area longer before needing to return and deposit or sell your items.
Big Electronics
Big Electronics are among the better loot categories to look for while exploring houses and apartment buildings. These items are usually too large to simply place into your inventory and instead need to be dragged by car.
The highest-value item in this category is the Gramophone, making large electronics a good target when you are trying to maximize the money earned from a run.
- Gramophone
- Value: $3,000
- Transport: Draggable by car
- Location: Randomly spawns around houses and apartment buildings
- Electric Guitar
- Value: $1,300
- Transport: Draggable by car
- Location: Houses and apartment buildings
- Radio
- Value: $900
- Transport: Draggable by car
- Location: Houses and apartments
- Computer
- Value: $550
- Transport: Draggable by car
- Location: Houses and buildings
- Console
- Value: $400
- Transport: Draggable by car
- Location: Houses and apartment complexes
- TV
- Value: $300
- Transport: Draggable by car
- Location: Houses and apartments
When searching residential areas, keep an eye out for these items because their values are generally much higher than ordinary household loot.
Craftable Items
Craftable items can be found around the map and are generally larger objects that need to be transported by car. Some can be found in specific locations, while others can spawn in outdoor areas.
The available craftable items include:
- Turret
- Value: $1,250
- Transport: Draggable by car
- Location: High-security areas such as the prison
- Propane Tank
- Value: $100
- Transport: Draggable by car
- Location: Yards near gas stations, garages, and outdoor areas
- Floodlight
- Value: $80
- Transport: Draggable by car
- Location: Home garages
- Metal Sheet
- Value: $60
- Transport: Draggable by car
- Location: Random outdoor areas
- Plank
- Value: $30
- Transport: Draggable by car
- Location: Open areas around the map
The Turret is easily the most valuable item in this category, although finding one requires searching high-security locations.
Droppable Cash
Cash items are especially useful because picking them up immediately adds the money to your account. You do not need to equip or manually sell these items.
- Duffle Bag — $1,000
- Found inside large bank safes.
- Band — $500
- Found inside large bank safes.
- Roll of Cash — $250
- Found in small safes and ATMs.
- Bill Stack — $100
- Found in small safes, ATMs, and cash registers.
- Bill — $50
- Found on bank counters, inside homes, ATMs, and cash registers.
- Coin Stack — $25
- Found inside homes, bank counters, and gas stations.
- Coin — $10
- Can be found almost anywhere.
Banks are particularly useful for players looking for larger amounts of cash because large safes can contain Duffle Bags and Bands.
Electronics
Electronics are smaller loot items that can generally be equipped or carried in your inventory. They are commonly found inside houses and apartment buildings.
The available electronics are:
- Headset — $400
- Phone — $400
- Laptop — $350
- Pocket Console — $310
- Tablet — $250
All of these items can generally be found by searching the interiors of houses and apartments. They are worth checking because they provide better value than most ordinary household objects.
Food Items
Food provides HP recovery, although the amount is generally lower than dedicated medical items. Some food can also provide additional energy, which can help you sprint more effectively.
Common food locations include gas stations and stores such as SlopMart.
Available food includes:
- Banana — $30
- Apple — $28
- Blue Cow — $25
- Burger — $20
- Sandwich — $20
- Drip — $15
- Hotdog — $15
- Chonks — $12
- 8 Hop — $10
- Corny — $10
Food can be useful when you need a quick source of healing or energy, but it generally should not be prioritized as valuable loot when your inventory is nearly full.
Household Items
Most Household Items have very low selling values, so they are generally not worth taking when you have access to better loot. The main exception is the Pinguin Plushy, which has a surprisingly high value compared with the rest of this category.
The complete list includes:
- Pinguin Plushy — $567
- Found inside houses and apartments.
- Dumbbell — $35
- Found inside homes.
- Toaster — $25
- Found inside houses and apartments.
- Basketball — $15
- Found inside residential buildings.
- Watering Can — $12
- Found outside houses and apartments.
- Box — $10
- Found inside houses and apartments.
- Mug — $5
- Found inside homes and apartments.
If you see the Pinguin Plushy, it is worth picking up. Most of the other household objects should be ignored when you have limited inventory space.
Junk Items
Junk is one of the least useful item categories in Runaways. These objects have very low selling values and can occupy inventory slots that could otherwise be used for better loot.
The available Junk items are:
- Life Buoy — $100
- Can appear indoors or outdoors.
- Bucket — $15
- Can be found almost anywhere.
- Trash Bag — $10
- Usually found near dumpsters and outside houses.
- Plunger — $8
- Can spawn indoors or outdoors.
- Concrete Block — $5
- Can appear both inside and outside buildings.
Unless you have plenty of inventory space and no better loot available, there is little reason to pick up these items.
Medical Items
Medical items are used to restore HP and are much more effective than normal food. They can be purchased from the Pawn Shop, while some can also be found by searching locations such as gas stations.
- Medic Pack
- Value: $200
- Cost: $1,500
- Source: Pawn Shop and gas stations

- Source: Pawn Shop and gas stations
- Transport: Equippable
- Bandage

- Cost: $400
- Source: Pawn Shop, shops, and gas stations
- Transport: Equippable
If you are planning a dangerous run, bringing medical supplies can be much more useful than filling your inventory with low-value loot.
Paintings
Paintings are large valuables that need to be transported by car. They can appear inside residential buildings and are worth checking when you are already searching houses for valuables.
The available paintings include:
- Night Sky Painting — $310
- Neoplast Painting — $300
- Pearl Painting — $300
- Weird Dame Painting — $250
Most of these paintings randomly appear inside houses or apartments, so you may need to search several buildings before finding one.
Tools
Tools are useful items that can be found around outdoor and residential areas. Unlike large loot, most tools can be carried normally.
- Tool Box
- Value: $120
- Transport: Equippable
- Location: Car parks, parks, and yards near gas stations
- Drill
- Value: $80
- Transport: Equippable
- Location: Car parks, parks, gas station areas, and near billboards
- Paint Can
- Value: $60
- Transport: Draggable by car
- Location: Home garages
These items are not the highest-value loot in the game, but they can still provide some additional money if you have spare inventory space.
Valuables
Valuables are one of the best categories to target when you are searching houses. They include jewelry, precious metals, statues, and other expensive objects.
Some of the rarest and most valuable items include:
- Cat Statue — $1,800

- Silver Ring — $100
- Wallet — $100
Most valuables can be found inside residential buildings. Bank safes are also worth checking because they can contain valuable items such as Gold Bars and Silver Bars.
When you are looting a house, valuables should generally be prioritized over low-value household objects.
Vehicle Parts
Vehicle Parts are larger items that need to be transported by car. They are commonly found around garages, farms, dumpsters, and similar outdoor locations.
The available Vehicle Parts are:
- Tire Rim
- Value: $225
- Transport: Draggable by car
- Location: Garages and farmsteads
- Rubber Tire
- Value: $125
- Transport: Draggable by car
- Location: Farmsteads, garages, and dumpsters
- Jerrycan
- Value: $30
- Transport: Draggable by car
- Location: Garages and farmhouses
The Tire Rim is the most valuable of these items, so it is the best one to prioritize if you find several Vehicle Parts during a run.
Best Items to Look for in Runaways
Because inventory space is limited, you should not pick up everything you see. The most efficient approach is to prioritize high-value loot and useful survival items.
When searching for loot, focus on:
- Gramophones — $3,000
- Cat Statues — $1,800
- King Crowns — $1,500
- Electric Guitars — $1,300
- Duffle Bags — $1,000
- Statue Thinkers — $1,000
- Gold Bars — $500
- Diamond Rings — $730
- Diamonds — $720
- Gold Tiara — $705
- Gold Diamond Necklaces — $650
- Large Electronics
- Rare Valuables
- Bank Cash
- Useful Medical Items
Try to avoid filling your inventory with objects worth only a few dollars. Carrying a $5 Mug or $8 Plunger means you have less space for a valuable item that could earn hundreds or thousands of dollars.
Best Places to Search for Loot
Different item types tend to appear in different locations. Knowing where to look makes your runs much more efficient.
Houses and Apartments
Residential buildings are some of the best places to search because they can contain:
- Electronics
- Valuables
- Paintings
- Big Electronics
- Household Items
- Food
- Cash
- Rare valuables
If you are looking for expensive loot, spend more time checking rooms for valuables and electronics instead of collecting ordinary household objects.
Banks
Banks are particularly useful for cash and valuable loot. Large safes can contain some of the highest-value cash items, while smaller safes can provide Rolls of Cash and other money.
Look for:
- Duffle Bags
- Bands
- Gold Bars
- Silver Bars
- Rolls of Cash
- Bills
- Coin Stacks
- Coins
Gas Stations and Shops
Gas stations and stores can contain food, medical items, cash, and certain valuable objects. They are also useful locations when you need supplies before or during a run.
Look for:
- Food
- Medical Items
- Cash
- Bronze Bars
- Tools
- Propane Tanks
- Vehicle Parts
Garages and Outdoor Areas
Garages, yards, farms, and other outdoor locations are useful for finding larger objects.
Common finds include:
- Tire Rims
- Rubber Tires
- Jerrycans
- Paint Cans
- Propane Tanks
- Floodlights
- Metal Sheets
- Planks
- Tools
The large number of items in Runaways can make looting confusing at first, especially when you do not yet know which objects are worth carrying. The main rule is simple: prioritize valuable loot and useful equipment over low-value objects.
Big Electronics, Valuables, cash, and rare loot should usually take priority when your inventory space is limited. Meanwhile, Junk and most Household Items are rarely worth carrying. The Pinguin Plushy is a notable exception because its $567 value is much higher than most ordinary household objects.
As you become more familiar with item locations, you can also plan your runs around specific areas. Search houses for valuables and electronics, visit banks for cash, and check garages and outdoor areas for larger loot. This approach will help you make better use of your inventory and increase the amount of money you earn from each Runaways run.
