Credz are the main currency in RUNAWAYS, and the fastest way to earn them is to escape a run with all four payout factors maxed out. A single clean getaway can pay tens of thousands of Credz, which you then spend on classes, weapons, and vehicles for the next attempt.
Quick answer: Escape a run while traveling the most distance, looting the most cash, holding a 5-star wanted level, and crossing all 4 borders. Those four values add together, then get multiplied, so one strong escape can pay over 70,000 Credz.

How the escape payout is calculated
Credz come almost entirely from successfully escaping. The escape screen adds four separate rewards, applies a bonus, and then multiplies the total. Understanding each line tells you exactly what to push during a run.
| Factor | What it rewards | Example payout |
|---|---|---|
| Distance travelled | Total miles covered during the run | 17.2 miles (+2,720 C) |
| Cash earned | Money looted and pawned along the way | $70,896 (+12,600 C) |
| Wanted level | Higher star ratings pay more | 5 Stars (+5,862 C) |
| Borders crossed | Number of state/border crossings | 4/4 (+4,396 C) |
On top of those four lines, the escape screen also adds a flat bonus and applies two multipliers. In the sample run, a 3,000 C bonus brought the subtotal to 28,578 C. That figure was then multiplied by 1.25 to reach 35,722 C, and a further x2 doubled it to a final 71,444 Credz.
Because the whole total gets multiplied, every extra mile, every dollar looted, and every border you cross is worth more than it looks on its own line.

You know it worked when the “YOU HAVE ESCAPED” screen appears with the itemized breakdown and the final multiplied Credz total, which is then added to your balance.
Free Credz and a pistol from codes
Codes are the quickest way to add Credz without a run. Two are currently active from developer Supercat Games.
| Code | Reward |
|---|---|
| RUN | 1,000 Credz |
| SUPERCAT | Pistol |
A code worked if your Credz balance jumps immediately or the item appears in your inventory. If nothing changes, check the spelling and try again. New codes usually drop through the official RUNAWAYS Discord server when the developer pushes an update or hits a milestone.
Daily missions for extra Credz
Beyond escaping, daily missions give a steady second source of Credz. Check the mission board in the lobby before you start a run so you can knock out qualifying tasks during the same escape rather than repeating runs for each one.

What to spend Credz on
Credz permanently unlock character classes, buy single-use weapons for a run, and purchase vehicles. Classes are the long-term investment, since they shape how a run plays out.

| Class | Cost |
|---|---|
| Basic | Equipped by default |
| Brawler | 10K C |
| Scout | 18K C |
| Old CEO | 33K C |
| Contractor | 45K C |
| Medic | 60K C |
| Gang Member | 85K C |
| Bounty Hunter | 160K C |
| Breacher | 280K C |
| Juggernaut | 450K C |
| Ex-Military | 1,120 Robux |
Weapons are bought per run and cover melee, firearms, and heavy tools. Prices range from a 1K C Bat up to a 20K C Minigun.

| Weapon | Cost |
|---|---|
| Bat | 1K C |
| Pan | 2K C |
| Pistol | 2K C |
| Machete | 3K C |
| Crowbar | 3.5K C |
| MAC | 4K C |
| Sawed Off | 4.5K C |
| Axe | 5K C |
| M4 | 7.5K C |
| Revolver | 8K C |
| Flamethrower | 10K C |
| RPG-7 | 12K C |
| Grenade Launcher | 16K C |
| Sniper | 16K C |
| Minigun | 20K C |
Vehicles can be bought and customized with Credz or Robux. A faster car directly helps two payout factors, since it covers more distance and reaches more borders before you run out of fuel or get caught. Options include the Chunk Mover, Charged, T-1000 (50K C), and the Reventador, while the Floppy Truck is a Robux purchase.
Note: Prices, weapon lists, and vehicle costs can shift with updates, so check the in-game shop values before committing a large Credz balance to any single unlock.
The loop is simple once the formula clicks. Loot for cash, hold your stars, cross every border, and escape to bank a multiplied payout, then top up with codes and daily missions between runs to reach the pricier classes and vehicles faster.
