RUNAWAYS Smuggling Quest is one of the biggest additions in Update 5 because it gives the normal border run a second objective. Instead of only robbing, pawning and escaping, you can now take a job from a suspicious NPC, carry his briefcase toward the border and earn extra CREDZ for completing the smuggling task.
The quest begins with the suspicious guy rather than with a random briefcase pickup somewhere on the highway. The update tells players to find him, accept the job and move the briefcase across the border, so it makes sense to locate the NPC before committing to a long robbery route.

RUNAWAYS Smuggling Quest should be treated as an extra layer on top of a normal escape. You still need fuel, a working vehicle and enough control over police heat to survive the trip south, which means the best time to accept the job is when the rest of the run is already in decent shape.
Do not treat the briefcase like ordinary pawn loot. RUNAWAYS Smuggling Quest only pays if the delivery survives, so selling everything else and then losing track of the mission item defeats the purpose. Leave enough inventory space for the things you actually need and avoid filling every slot with low-value clutter.
A good RUNAWAYS Smuggling Quest attempt starts with preparation rather than panic. Refuel before the long drive, repair a damaged vehicle and carry enough healing or useful combat gear for the checkpoints ahead, because starting the job with an empty tank turns a simple extra reward into a much harder escape.
How to prepare for the delivery
- Find the suspicious NPC and accept the briefcase job.
- Keep the briefcase with you for the border run.
- Refuel and repair before committing to the long highway sections.
- Use the normal southbound route and manage police pursuit instead of stopping for every robbery.
- Cross the required border with the briefcase and wait for the objective to register.
It also helps to sell normal loot before the smuggling leg begins. RUNAWAYS Smuggling Quest is easier to manage when the bag is not full, the vehicle is healthy and you can tell at a glance what you are carrying, rather than sorting junk while police pressure keeps building.
Once the route is underway, the smartest choice is often to ignore a tempting detour. RUNAWAYS Smuggling Quest adds value to reaching the border, so a small register on the other side of town is not worth losing the whole delivery. The mission rewards discipline more than greed.
How to finish the quest
If you cannot find the suspicious guy immediately, do not assume the quest has vanished. Update 5 is still new enough that exact placement may be clearer as players map more servers, but the confirmed loop remains the same: suspicious NPC, briefcase, border crossing and extra CREDZ.
RUNAWAYS Smuggling Quest is especially useful when you were already planning a full escape. You are adding another reward to a route you would have driven anyway, which makes the quest far more efficient than treating smuggling as a separate session.
The quest also gives you a useful reason to stop over-looting. Once the briefcase is active and the vehicle is ready, the next good decision is usually progress toward the border rather than another small score.
RUNAWAYS Smuggling Quest is still only one part of the route. The final value comes from taking the money or reward and continuing the run without creating a bigger problem than the stop solved.
