Guide overview

ROB RUN starts with a prison break and opens into a multiplayer sandbox. Your first session is a chance to learn how Looty Bay fits together, turn a small haul into cash, and decide which role you want to play.

Start at Lenny’s Motel

Complete the prison tutorial and select a server when you escape. If you are playing with friends, agree on a server before joining. After you arrive, visit Lenny at his motel to learn the basics. Take a short trip through town and locate the bank, a buyer, and an exit before you start carrying valuables. Kefir’s first steps guide

Earn and bank your first cash

Pick a short job you can repeat. Sell loot to a buyer, haul cargo, or try a police shift. Once you have a base, production adds another source of income. Start with a route that lets you sell or store your haul without a long trip back. Kefir’s money guide

Open an account at the Looty Bay Bank while you are a civilian. Use the Laundering Desk at your base to process your cash. Once it is in your bank account, other players cannot steal it during that server cycle. You can withdraw cash at an ATM. Kefir’s banking guide

Rent a plot for your base

Look for a vacant plot in a settlement that already has an owner, then interact with the sign beside it to rent it. Level 2 and 3 districts require the appropriate documents from the Black Market. Before spending on upgrades, learn the route to your plot and give yourself somewhere secure to store your next haul. Kefir’s plot rental guide

Plan around the Federal Raid

A Federal Raid resets each server after seven days. Plots, bases, weapons, and cash are converted into jail time and authority. Cosmetics, your player name, tutorial progress, settings, and accumulated jail time carry over. Check your server’s age before investing in a large build. Kefir’s Federal Raid rules
