Lead

UPDATE 5 changes the road itself. Runs can now hit rain, thunderstorms and tornadoes, a new smuggling quest pays extra Credz for carrying a briefcase across the border, and Admin Abuse now runs every Saturday. The patch also adds a daily friend-invite reward of 500 Credz per friend (up to 15), a new T-1000 skin called Tornado Chaser, and a batch of quality-of-life fixes.

Smuggling quest at a glance

RUNAWAYS UPDATE 5 smuggling quest: the suspicious guy’s dark van parked on a street, where you knock to receive the briefcase The smuggler’s van. Knock on it to get the briefcase. Source: 5t_cvo28er0 at 1:06.

In Kzy’s run, the suspicious guy’s van turns up beside the gas station in the town before Kansas. Knock on his van and he hands you a briefcase. Get it over the border and you collect bonus Credz on top of your run. Full steps are on /guides/smuggling-quest.

Friend invites: 500 Credz each

Every friend you invite is worth 500 Credz, for up to 15 friends, and the reward comes around every day. Filling all 15 slots makes this the biggest free Credz source the patch adds, which helps with early class and weapon unlocks.

Admin Abuse every Saturday

The developer log fixes the schedule: Admin Abuse runs every Saturday. Expect a global Credz multiplier, item rain and free cash, plus a pool of 10+ secret items you can only get during these sessions. Community update notes add that Admin Abuse boosts don’t hurt your normal progression. More on /guides/admin-abuse.
