Community Testing Priorities

Day-one testing focuses on:

1. New location loot values — verifying what the new robbery target offers
2. Vehicle speed comparisons — new sports car vs existing fleet
3. Police AI behavior — has pursuit logic actually improved?
4. Balance changes — have gun damage or loot values shifted?
5. Code viability — do existing codes still work post-patch?

Balance Changes Deep Dive

Police AI Improvements

The most-requested fix in RUNAWAYS has been police AI behavior. Players have reported:

• Reduced rubber-banding — police vehicles should now maintain more realistic distances
• Smarter pathfinding — police take more intelligent routes to intercept players
• Heat level scaling — more gradual police response to lower wanted levels

Loot Value Rebalancing

Based on early community reports:

• Electronics Store items — values adjusted to reduce grind time
• Vault cash amounts — slightly increased for longer missions
• Food item values — minor adjustments to trade economy

What the Update 4 Event Means

With UPDATE 3 event ending and Update 4 launching simultaneously:

• UPDATE 3 career tracking — progress carries over but event bonuses are gone
• Botcher code — expired with UPDATE 3 event; no longer redeemable
• New event window — Update 4 may introduce its own event structure
• Streak preservation — daily rewards and login streaks should persist

Verified Working Codes (Post-Update 4)

As of September 12 2026:

Code	Reward	Status
SUPERCAT	Light Pistol	Active — one-time per account
RUN	~1,000 CREDZ	Active — verify in-game toast

BOTCHER has expired with the UPDATE 3 event conclusion.

Re-verify codes by checking the official Roblox experience Codes tab. Do not trust third-party sources claiming to list new codes until multiple independent outlets confirm.

Performance and Stability

Update 4 includes server-side optimizations:

• Reduced desync — fewer rubber-banding moments during police chases
• Better 50-player handling — reduced lag spikes in crowded servers
• Faster loading — quicker asset streaming for new locations

Report bugs through official channels. This wiki cannot patch the live experience.

Pre-Update 4 Players — Migration Guide

If you played before Update 4:

1. Inventory audit — check that all items survived the patch
2. Code redemption — ensure SUPERCAT and RUN are claimed
3. Vehicle assessment — your existing car may now be slower than the new sports car
4. Class review — balance changes may affect your class choice
5. Strategy refresh — new locations mean new robbery opportunities

Known Issues and Workarounds

Based on early reports:

Issue	Workaround
New location not spawning	Relog after patch fully deploys
Code redemption failing	Verify exact spelling; relaunch game
Vehicle handling feels different	Adjust driving style for new physics
Career menu showing old data	Wait 24 hours for tracking to update
