ROB RUN is an online crime sandbox with heists, cargo, base production, police work and territory to pursue. For a robbery run, learn the full sequence.
Learn at Lenny's Motel, check the building and plan an exit. A mask lets you rob, but Police and other Criminals can attack you.

Robbery is one path through Looty Bay. Know what each role lets you do, and which loss rules apply before you take valuables out.
Visit Looty Bay Bank as a Civilian to open an account before using a Laundering Desk at your base. Kefir says Civilians keep bag contents and equipped gear after dying in the city. That protection does not apply to the desert.

A mask lets you rob in Looty Bay. Police and other Criminals can attack you, so another robber is not automatically a teammate. Scout first and clear Criminal status by leaving the city before choosing your role on the next entry.

The Looty Bay Police Station issues standard gear and a patrol vehicle when you enlist. Badge progression unlocks better equipment. Department-issued gear is lost on death; personal equipment and items remain, according to the official help.

A successful sale, a secure bank balance and permanent progress are different things. Banking can protect cash from theft during the current cycle; it does not protect it from the Federal Raid. Learn those limits before spending the week building up one stash.

Selected questions from public r/robrun discussions. Player reports are separate from the official information below.
A player asks how to prepare when the wipe timing is unclear. Read the discussion ↗
Kefir confirms a seven-day cycle. Cosmetics, tutorial progress and accumulated jail time carry over; plots, bases, weapons and cash do not. An exact per-server wipe hour is not verified here.
A player asks whether buying a vehicle pack grants the vehicle or a skin. Read the discussion ↗
The official B-Coin FAQ describes cosmetic purchases with no effect on stats, balance or progression. Check each pack's in-game description; we have not verified individual bundles.
A player reports needing to restart to enter a map, even after checking the game files. Read the discussion ↗
That report does not establish a universal cause. Kefir's first checks are connection, a game and Steam restart, graphics drivers and file verification. Use official support if it continues.
