September 15 2026 Notes

This is a 15 September 2026 check-in for RUNAWAYS [beta] by supercat games — today is the third full day since Update 4 launched on 12 September. This page captures the latest community discoveries, confirmed garage mechanics, newly revealed weapon names, class testing data, and the Update 5 preview for 19 September.

Pair this page with September 14 2026 Notes for the complete Update 4 mapping, September 13 2026 Notes for day-2 Pro-Gamer sports car data, and September 12 2026 Notes for the official Update 4 announcement.

Update 4 — Day-3 Community Status Report

Update 4 has now been live for approximately 72 hours. The community has moved from exploration to optimization — players are refining routes, testing class combinations, and confirming mechanics. The following represents the current state of Update 4 knowledge as of 15 September 2026.

All 6 Locations — Community-Verified Data

All six new Update 4 locations have been fully explored and community data has been cross-checked:

Camping SiteRiverside Campground$100–250Low~45–60 secLow competition, survival items

Car Wash Heat Reduction — Confirmed

After extensive community testing, the Car Wash heat reduction mechanic has been confirmed:

  • Washing a vehicle removes the visible wanted indicator but does not reduce the active wanted level
  • Practical use: Washing removes the star display but police will still pursue if your wanted level is active
  • Recommendation: Useful for removing clutter from your screen during a run but does not replace escape strategies

Garage Open/Close — Confirmed Mechanics

The garage mechanic in Update 4 has been fully documented:

  • 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
  • Tool requirement: Standard garages open automatically; some require a weapon or tool to force open
  • Strategic note: Check garage status before entering a location — an open garage may indicate another player has already looted it

New Weapon Names Revealed

Update 4 introduced new weapons. Community testing has identified the following:

WeaponTypeEstimated CostNotes

Two New Classes — Community Testing Data

The two new classes from Update 4 have been partially identified through community testing:

Class 13 — Pro-Gamer (Speed Class)

Community speculation based on testing:

  • Cost: 55,000 CREDZ
  • Loadout: Small Backpack, Speed Boost Tool
  • Ability: +30% Running Speed — highest in game
  • Role: Pure escape specialist for solo players
  • Comparison: Outpaces Smuggler (+20%) by a meaningful margin

Class 14 — Mafia Don (Combat Class)

Community speculation based on testing:

  • Cost: 125,000 CREDZ
  • Loadout: Medium Backpack, Combat SMG
  • Ability: +20% Gun Damage, +5% Melee Damage
  • Role: Combat-oriented for crew heists
  • Comparison: Better raw damage than Gang Member but without the vehicle bonus

Disclaimer: These are community estimates. Official class names and stats will be confirmed when supercat games posts on the official Discord channel.

Update 5 Preview — September 19

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for RUNAWAYS heists, escapes, and gear.

Does washing a car at the Car Wash remove police heat?

Washing removes the visible wanted indicator (stars) but does not reduce the active wanted level. Police will still pursue you if your heat is active. It is useful for cleaning up your screen during a run but does not replace actual escape strategies.

What are the official names of the two new classes in Update 4?

Community testing suggests the two new classes are called Mafia Don (+20% gun damage, combat role) and Pro-Gamer (+30% running speed, escape role). Official names will be confirmed when supercat games posts on the Discord channel.

What are the names of the new weapons in Update 4?

Community-reported weapon names include Nexus Pistol (~15,000 CREDZ), Havoc SMG (~35,000 CREDZ), Cascade Shotgun (~40,000 CREDZ), and Vortex Rifle (~60,000 CREDZ). These are community estimates — verify in-game before purchasing.

What is the best new location for farming CREDZ in Update 4?

StorageMax Units (Self-Storage Facility) offers the highest potential payout ($200–450 per run) but requires breaker tools for locked units. For risk-free consistent farming, the Tactical Range (Shooting Range) has no police risk and pays $100–250 per session.

When is Update 5 coming?

Update 5 is scheduled for 19 September 2026, based on the every-7-days cadence from Update 3 (5 Sep) to Update 4 (12 Sep). No official feature list has been published. Prepare by farming CREDZ and completing current content.

Should I buy Enforcer or Offender first?

For solo players focused on reaching the border, Pro-Gamer (+30% speed) is the clear choice. For crew players who handle combat roles, Mafia Don (+20% gun damage) offers meaningful DPS improvement. Smuggler remains the overall best solo class if budget is limited.

Do garage doors have loot inside them?

Some garages contain loot — cash spawns, item spawns, or both. Some garages contain vehicles. Standard garages open automatically; some require a weapon or tool to force open. Check garage status before entering — an open garage may indicate another player has already looted it.
