September 17 2026 Notes

This is a 17 September 2026 check-in for RUNAWAYS [beta] by supercat games — today is the fifth full day since Update 4 launched on 12 September. This page captures the official confirmation of the two new class names from the official Discord, updated garage loot data, and the final Update 5 countdown. Two days remain until the scheduled September 19 release.

Pair this page with September 16 2026 Notes for the day-4 complete picture, September 15 2026 Notes for the day-3 data, and September 14 2026 Notes for the full Update 4 mapping.

Update 4 — Day-5 Community Status Report

Update 4 has now been live for approximately 120 hours. The community has moved from optimization to consolidation — players are locking in preferred routes, class builds, and weapon loadouts in preparation for Update 5. The following represents the current state of Update 4 knowledge as of 17 September 2026.

Official Class Names — Confirmed by Developer

The developer emile posted on the official Discord confirming the two new class names:

  • Pro-Gamer — the speed class (+30% running speed, grappling hook tool, 55,000 CREDZ)
  • Mafia Don — the combat class (+20% gun damage, +5% melee damage, medium backpack, 125,000 CREDZ)

Community speculation correctly identified both classes. The Pro-Gamer’s grappling hook provides vertical mobility not available to any other class, making it a unique escape and exploration tool. The Mafia Don’s +20% gun damage amplification affects all weapons including the new Update 4 arsenal.

All 6 Locations — Final Loot Table

After five days of community testing, the final loot tables for all six new locations are confirmed:

Garage Loot — Complete Data

Garage mechanics have been fully mapped:

  • Standard garages — open automatically, contain low-to-mid value loot ($50–200)
  • Locked garages — require crowbar or better tool, contain mid-to-high value loot ($150–400)
  • Vehicle garages — contain spawnable vehicles, some include cash spawns
  • Loot refresh — garage loot respawns after approximately 5–10 minutes

Strategic note: Check the garage indicator light before forcing entry. Green light means accessible; red light means recently looted.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for RUNAWAYS heists, escapes, and gear.

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

The developer emile confirmed on the official Discord: Pro-Gamer (+30% running speed, grappling hook, 55,000 CREDZ) and Mafia Don (+20% gun damage, +5% melee, 125,000 CREDZ). Community speculation correctly identified both classes.

Does the Pro-Gamer's grappling hook give an advantage?

Yes. The grappling hook provides vertical mobility that no other class can access. It allows Pro-Gamer players to reach rooftops, bypass ground-level police chases, and take shortcuts unavailable to other classes. Combined with +30% running speed, this makes Pro-Gamer the best solo escape class.

How does Mafia Don's +20% gun damage compare to other combat classes?

Mafia Don's +20% gun damage amplification applies to all weapons, including the new Update 4 arsenal. This makes every weapon approximately 20% more effective. Combined with a medium backpack and tactical shotgun loadout, Mafia Don is the strongest combat class for crew operations.

What is the Update 5 release date?

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

Do garage indicator lights show loot status?

Yes. Community testing confirms that garage indicator lights show loot status: green light means accessible with potential loot; red light means recently looted. Check the light before forcing entry with tools to save time.

Should I buy Pro-Gamer or Mafia Don first?

For solo players focused on reaching the border, Pro-Gamer (+30% speed + grappling hook) 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.

Which garage type has the best loot?

Locked garages (requiring crowbar or better) have the highest loot potential ($150–400 per run). Standard garages offer $50–200. Vehicle garages provide vehicle access plus occasional cash spawns. Prioritize locked garages when your tool loadout allows.
