Funnel Runners Van Interior Guide

The Hub Where Every Run Begins and Ends

In Funnel Runners, the van is where your character spawns when you create a lobby and where you must return to escape. Supernova Studios LLC divided van interior mechanics into three categories in Devlog #003: Problems (breakdowns), Useful Stuff (survival tools), and Extras (social spaces). Early Access gameplay confirms additional systems from community previews — a company vault, APEX document storage, blueprints, and an APEX token vending machine.

You spend most of a 20-minute run outside looting, but understanding interior systems before your first match saves critical minutes. Read our van overview for the escape loop and van interior walkthrough for video coverage.

Useful Systems — Radar, Monitors, and Tools

• Doppler radar: Weather grid showing potential tornado spawn zones plus teammate tracking (alive and downed)
• Surveillance monitors: Visual feeds helping the van anchor monitor squad movement
• Toolboard: Displays tools currently stored in the van for quick repair reference
• Broadcast radio: Map-wide voice through roof megaphones — see voice chat guide
• CB Radio: In-van microphone for map-wide voice transmission — patch 0.34.16 fixed related crashes
• TV: Mute controls for public lobby players and match information
• Blueprints: In-van repair guides explaining how tools work when you forget a step mid-run
• Vending machine: Spend APEX tokens collected in the city on supplies

Lore and Progression — Vault and Document Storage

Across from the company vault sits storage for APEX documents recovered during successful runs. The vault itself holds lore archives unlocked by finding hidden terminals and documents scattered across suburban maps. Internal notes suggest APEX Storm Monitoring Services may know more about these storms than their public mission statement admits — read our APEX lore page for the full story.

Extras — Whiteboard, Darts, and Locker

Pre-run social spaces keep lobbies alive while waiting for late friends. Draw notes on the whiteboard, play darts, or browse your locker of cosmetics and merit badges earned through repeated deployments. These systems do not directly repair the van, but they reinforce the 1990s storm-chaser crew aesthetic Supernova Studios built around APEX contractors.

Problems Inside the Van

Broken systems inside the van mirror exterior mechanical problems. Blown fuses, dead batteries, and flat tires can cascade — a dead battery cuts power to radar and monitors exactly when you need storm tracking most. Assign a van anchor in co-op to manage interior systems while looters scavenge. Use our repair checklist tool to track which problems block which interior features.
