Runaways now expands class options beyond roles, shaping loadouts, perks and combat prowess for players who seek a tactical edge in every heist.
How Every Class Shifts the Balance
Choosing a class in Runaways is more than picking a title; it unlocks a distinct armour stack, weapon set and stat tweaks that dictate how fast you sprint, how strong your melee hits feel and how much health you endure in face‑to‑face encounters.
Starting players can debut as a Basic Free with zero entry costs, but most will gravitate towards classes that supplement their personal play style. Below is a refreshed walk‑through of every unlockable class, the cost to acquire them, and the strategic bonuses they grant.

Collecting Credz and Unlocking Your Class
Credz, the in‑game currency, is earned through quests, daily missions and bonus codes. When you’ve accumulated enough Credz, the process to secure a new class is straightforward.
- Launch Runaways and tap the CLASSES icon on the left menu.
- Select your desired class from the roster and confirm the price.
- Press the purple “Purchase” button to add the class to your profile.
- Return to the menu to activate any unlocked class at any time.
Once a class is purchased, it remains available for the rest of the session, so players can experiment between missions without re‑paying.
Choosing the Prime Class for Your Style
Players often compare classes to find the optimal fit for their preferred tactics. Bounty Hunter and Ex‑Military are highlighted for their combined speed and melee benefits, making them popular for aggressive plays that require swift retaliation and melee dominance.
Conversely, classes like Medic or Smuggler offer supportive or stealthy advantages, encouraging different strategic approaches within the game’s diverse environments.
Final Thoughts
Runaways offers a spectrum of classes that fundamentally alter gameplay mechanics. By understanding each class’s loadout and stat trade‑offs, players can fine‑tune their approach, whether it’s rapid chases, head‑on firefights or covert operations.
