RUNAWAYS Update 4 All New Locations Guide

Gas Station Mini Mart

The Gas Station Mini Mart is the most accessible of the six new locations. It is a smaller convenience store variant that complements the existing Exon and Truck Stops network.

What the Mini Mart offers

• Snacks — low-value food items for quick consumption
• Energy drinks — potential stamina or speed benefit (community testing ongoing)
• Cash register — standard cash yield for quick clears
• Average cash yield: $80–150 per run
• Clear time: Approximately 30 seconds

How to approach the Mini Mart

1. Use as a quick stop — its short clear time makes it ideal between major robbery targets
2. Low police attention — does not trigger elevated heat
3. Low competition — less attractive to other players than high-value locations
4. Pair with other stops — natural stop on routes between Botched Butcher, Kinda Sushi, and Worst Buy

Mini Mart vs Other Small Targets

Location	Cash Yield	Police Risk	Clear Time
Gas Station Mini Mart	$80–150	Low	~30 sec
Standard House	$50–200	Low	~45 sec
Exon Gas Station	$100–250	Medium	~60 sec

Car Wash

The Supersonic Car Wash is a dual-purpose location that combines robbery opportunity with a unique vehicle service mechanic.

What the Car Wash offers

• Detailing supplies — primary loot from the robbery
• Cash register — standard cash yield
• Tip jar — small additional cash
• Heat reduction — washing a vehicle removes the visible wanted indicator (stars) but does not reduce active wanted level
• Average cash yield: $150–300 per run
• Clear time: Approximately 45–60 seconds

Car Wash heat reduction mechanic

After extensive community testing:

• Washing removes the visible wanted indicator (star display) but does NOT reduce the active wanted level
• Police will still pursue you if your wanted level is active
• Practical use: Useful for removing screen clutter during a run, but does not replace actual escape strategies

How to approach the Car Wash

1. Check for other players — dual-purpose locations attract both robbers and players seeking heat reduction
2. Test the heat mechanic — visit with a wanted level to verify behavior
3. Factor police risk — Low to Medium depending on server activity
4. Use as a mid-route stop — complements longer southbound routes

Shooting Range

The Tactical Range is a skill-based location that offers a fundamentally different gameplay loop — no-risk cash accumulation through marksmanship.

What the Shooting Range offers

• Shooting rewards — cash bonuses based on accuracy
• No police risk — confirmed safe zone with zero wanted level generation
• Reputation system — accuracy bonuses for precise shots
• Average cash yield: $100–200 per session
• Clear time: Varies by performance

How to approach the Shooting Range

1. Perfect for skill players — accuracy translates directly to cash rewards
2. Zero police risk — safe to visit even with an active wanted level
3. Practice tool — useful for warming up before high-stakes runs
4. Stack rewards — accuracy bonuses compound over multiple visits

Who should visit the Shooting Range

• Players with active wanted levels who need a safe farming location
• Skill-based players who can convert accuracy into cash
• Players preparing for a session who want to warm up their aim

Self-Storage Facility

The StorageMax Units is an exploration-focused location with the highest potential payout among the six new locations. Some units are locked and require tools to access.

What the Self-Storage Facility offers

• Storage unit contents — variable loot including furniture, electronics, and valuables
• Locked units — require breaker tools (Crowbar or better) to open; contain higher-value loot
• Vehicles in storage — some units contain parked vehicles
• Average cash yield: $200–450 per run (unlocked units: $200–300, locked units: $300–450)
• Clear time: 60–90 seconds

How to access locked storage units

1. Bring a Crowbar or better — standard locks yield to basic breaker tools
2. Higher-value loot in locked units — the extra time investment pays off
3. Some units may require combat — be prepared for NPC or player resistance

How to approach the Self-Storage Facility

1. Bring tools — always carry a Crowbar or better for locked units
2. Scout first — exterior survey helps identify which units are accessible
3. Medium police risk — alarm triggers are possible; have an exit plan
4. High reward potential — justifies the tool investment for serious farmers

Self-Storage Facility vs Other High-Value Locations

Location	Cash Yield	Police Risk	Tool Required
Self-Storage Facility	$200–450	Medium	For locked units
Worst Buy	$800–1,150	High	No
Botched Butcher	$80–150 + food	Medium	No

Radio Station

The KMUW Broadcast Tower is a lore-rich location that combines unique loot with mission triggers. Community speculation links it to the radio station teased in Update 4 promotional material.

What the Radio Station offers

• Broadcasting equipment — primary loot category
• Rare electronics — distinct from the Electronics Store variety
• Special items — unique drops not found elsewhere
• Mission trigger — career menu discovery and potential bounty connections
• Average cash yield: $150–350 per run
• Clear time: 45–75 seconds

Lore connection

The Radio Station is speculated to connect to the mysterious radio station teased in Update 4 promotional material. Community lore hunters should prioritize this location for potential story content.

How to approach the Radio Station

1. Check the Career Menu — location discovery may be tracked here
2. Medium police risk — broadcasting equipment is high-value; expect resistance
3. Explore thoroughly — rare items may be hidden in less obvious areas
4. Combine with bounty hunting — location may appear on contract boards

Camping Site

The Riverside Campground rounds out the six new locations with a survival-focused theme. Its remote location means lower player competition.

What the Camping Site offers

• Camping equipment — primary loot category
• Survival gear — items with potential dual use
• Food items — camping food complements UPDATE 3 food system
• Rare finds — potential for uncommon camping-themed items
• Average cash yield: $100–250 per run
• Clear time: 45–60 seconds

How to approach the Camping Site

1. Low competition — remote location deters casual robbers
2. Survival items — may include healing or utility items beyond cash
3. Pair with other southbound stops — natural fit on border routes
4. Food synergy — camping food complements Butcher Shop and Sushi Shop items

Camping Site strategic notes

• Lower competition than urban locations — worth visiting even with moderate loot
• Survival items may have practical use beyond trade value
• Remote location means longer travel time; factor into route planning

Garage Mechanics in Update 4

Update 4 introduced interactive garage doors at various locations:

• Garage doors can be opened and closed at designated locations
• Some garages contain loot — cash spawns, item spawns, or both
• Some garages contain vehicles — player-accessible vehicles may spawn in garages
• Some require tools — weapon or tool may be needed to force open
• Strategic note: An open garage may indicate another player has already looted it

Loadout Recommendations for Update 4 Locations

For Mini Mart and Camping Site runs

• Minimal loadout — these are quick stops, not primary income
• Sidearm — standard interior protection
• Speed focus — 30-second clear time rewards quick entries

For Car Wash runs

• Sidearm — interior threats possible
• Test the heat mechanic — visit with active wanted level to verify behavior
• Exit plan — washing does not eliminate police pursuit

For Shooting Range

• Primary weapon — accuracy determines payout
• No escape kit needed — safe zone confirmed
• Warm-up approach — use before high-stakes content

For Self-Storage Facility

• Breaker tools (Crowbar or better) — essential for locked units
• Sidearm or primary — NPC or player resistance possible
• Space management — locked units may yield bulky loot
• Exit plan — medium police risk requires readiness

For Radio Station

• Combat-ready loadout — medium police risk
• Exploration mindset — rare items may be hidden
• Career Menu awareness — track location discovery

Common Mistakes

• Ignoring the Mini Mart — its 30-second clear time makes it valuable as a quick stop even with modest loot
• Entering Self-Storage without tools — locked units contain the highest payouts
• Expecting Car Wash to eliminate heat — it removes stars from your screen, not police pursuit
• Skipping the Shooting Range — zero-risk farming is valuable for risk-averse players
• Underestimating Camping Site competition — remote location is an asset but not a guarantee
