RUNAWAYS is a Roblox action game where you play as a convicted criminal racing to reach the border before the police catch you. Along the way you rob, fight, blow open vaults, and sell your loot for cash. This guide walks you through the controls, money-making, police evasion, and everything else you need to make it out.
In shortGetting the controls into muscle memory early saves you from dying to something avoidable.
The game shows you a control layout when you start, so take a moment to read it. Every key has one job, and mixing them up mid-chase is a fast way to get caught.
Click or touch the screen to punch or use whatever tool you have active.
Press E to equip an item or perform a drag action.
Press X to drop a tooluseful when your inventory is full.
Press R to reload your gun before the magazine runs dry.
Press Q to attach items when the game asks for it.
Press F to open your inventory, and press C to crouch or slide.
In shortLooting enemies and item boxes, then converting the haul to cash at the designated spot, is how your money grows.
Money is the engine of your run. You earn it by grabbing items from defeated enemies or from things lying around the map, then trading that loot for cash at the right location.

In shortVaults are high-value targets, but they demand explosives and a fast exit plan.
Vaults and safes hold bigger rewards than ordinary loot. Get in, blow the door, grab everything, and leave.
Tips worth knowing
Source explosives from defeated enemies or item boxes before you approach a vault.
Stay aware of police presence while setting up the blast.
The moment the vault opens, collect everything inside as fast as you can, then immediately move away from the area.
05
Losing the police when they spot you
Warn
In shortRunning in a straight line is the worst thing you can do when the police are behind you.
As soon as the police pick up your trail, your priority shifts entirely to shaking them. Break line of sight as quickly as possible and keep changing direction.
Worth watching out for
Ducking into buildings cuts the line of sight immediatelyuse interiors as your first move when spotted.
Slide with C to move faster in tight spaces.
Keep putting distance between you and the police; once you are far enough away, the chase ends.
06
Combat check before every fight
Check
In shortThree quick checks before you engage prevent most combat deaths.
When a fight goes badly, it is almost always one of the same three problems: wrong weapon equipped, empty magazine, or low health. Run through this list before picking a fight.
Weapon is equippedconfirm you pressed E to select the right tool for the situation.
Gun is reloadedpress R now so you are not caught mid-fight with zero shots.
Health is topped upuse any health items you have before walking into a group of enemies.
Once you have enough cash and solid gear, shift your focus to moving toward the border. Dodge the police, deal with enemies, and reach the border.
Gear up before goingmake sure your weapons are loaded and your inventory holds what you need.
Evade rather than fighttreat police encounters as obstacles to go around, not through.
Arrive at the borderclearing the run is the goal of the game.

Common questions
FAQ
Where do weapons and explosives come from?
You find them on the ground around the map or pick them up from defeated enemies. Equip whatever you find with E and manage the stack in your inventory with F. Dropping lower-quality items with X when you find something better keeps your loadout useful.
