RUNAWAYS Getting Started Guide
RUNAWAYS [beta] by supercat games is an open-world crime escape: you rob loot, pawn it for cash, crack vaults, outrun police and try to reach the border before the city wins. Servers hold up to 50 players and the game is in early access, so systems can shift between patches — this guide teaches durable habits instead of fragile tricks.
The escape loop in one minute
- Rob loot from streets and interiors you can safely clear.
- Pawn for cash before your bag slows you down and advertises you to the map.
- Crack vaults only when you have tools, bag space and an exit plan.
- Outrun police using movement and drop discipline — not endless gunfights.
- Reach the border when your kit and the heat level say go.
Everything else in this wiki supports that loop.
First ten minutes
- Launch only from the official place:
roblox.com/games/118418618261207. - Confirm Click/Touch punches or swings a tool.
- Practice E equip/drag on a safe prop.
- Open F inventory and close it without panicking.
- Drop something with X so the key becomes reflex.
- Try C crouch/slide in an alley.
- If you find a gun later, reload with R behind cover and attach with Q before fights — never mid-chase.
Mindset for a 50-player beta
You share streets with strangers. Contested loot, stolen vaults and sudden heat are normal. Treat other players as weather: sometimes helpful, sometimes a tornado. Your job is logistics under pressure, not winning every duel.
Early access means UI labels can move. If something feels broken after a patch, check the Updates page before assuming it is a bug.
Session plan (45–60 minutes)
- Warm-up (5 min): cycle equip, drop, inventory, slide near a quiet block.
- Short robbery loops (20 min): steal tight bundles, not museums. Prefer compact value.
- First serious pawn (10 min): convert loot to cash before you get romantic about a vault.
- Optional vault (10 min): only if you have a breaker, free slots and a planned exit. Abort if sirens are already stacked.
- Escape practice (10 min): practice breaking line of sight with C and dumping junk with X.
- Border only if honest: run the mental checklist (kit, bag, heat, crew). If any box fails, keep farming.
What not to do on night one
- Do not wait on codes — none are verified yet.
- Do not download random scripts; empty lists beat malware.
- Do not bring three guns and zero inventory space.
- Do not reload in the open doorway after a vault boom.
- Do not push the border “because the crew said go” while your bag is a garage sale.
