Update 4 — Day-4 Community Status Report

Update 4 has now been live for approximately 96 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 16 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 across multiple servers:

Location	Official Name	Confirmed Cash Yield	Police Risk	Clear Time	Best For
Mini Mart	Gas Station Mini Mart	$80–150	Low	~30 sec	Quick stops, low-heat runs
Car Wash	Supersonic Car Wash	$150–300	Low-Med	~45 sec	Dual-purpose robbery + heat check
Shooting Range	Tactical Range	$100–250	None	~60 sec	No-risk farming, skill players
Self-Storage	StorageMax Units	$200–450	Medium	~60–90 sec	High-value loot, tool users
Radio Station	KMUW Broadcast Tower	$150–350	Medium	~45–75 sec	Lore, unique drops
Camping Site	Riverside Campground	$100–250	Low	~45–60 sec	Low competition, survival items

Car Wash Heat Reduction — Confirmed Mechanics

After extensive community testing over four days, the Car Wash heat reduction mechanic has been fully documented:

• Washing a vehicle 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 — the stars disappear but heat remains
• Practical use: Useful for removing screen clutter during a run but does not replace actual escape strategies
• Strategic note: Still worth visiting for the $150–300 cash yield; the heat display removal is a secondary benefit

Garage Open/Close — Complete Mechanics

The garage mechanic in Update 4 has been fully documented across all locations:

• Garage doors can be opened and closed at designated locations throughout the map
• Some garages contain loot — cash spawns, item spawns, or both
• Some garages contain vehicles — player-accessible vehicles may spawn inside garages
• Tool requirement: Standard garages open automatically; some require a weapon or tool to force open
• Loot quality varies — some garages have high-value items, others have minimal rewards
• Strategic note: Check garage status before entering — an open garage may indicate another player has already looted it
