Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve noticed lots of questions about ROB RUN popping up on our socials, so we’re breaking down the most frequently asked ones today.

Can I switch clans or factions mid-game? Or do I have to create a new character for that?

You can switch clans during a server wipe cycle. The split between cops and criminals only happens in Looty Bay: every time you enter the city, you can choose one of these two roles or look around and explore before taking your pick.

Why do you need wiping every week?

With every server wipe, a new exciting story is created. In ROB RUN, the thrill comes from going from rags to riches and proving yourself against the competition — something that requires a level playing field for everyone. It doesn't matter if you're a green rookie or a seasoned heister — there are countless strategies to build your empire. It all comes down to your drive and imagination.

With a new server wipe, you will be able to write a fresh story, explore new ideas, and pave your own unique path to success.

Is the weekly wipe schedule final or subject to change?

Right now, each wipe cycle lasts seven days. That said, wipe lengths could adjust down the road.

Will custom community servers be supported?

At launch, only official servers will be available.

What is the game's core objective? Is it just money grinding?

ROB RUN is a sandbox where players can pursue whatever playstyle they choose. The money you earn drives your in-game progression and unlocks deeper, more varied, and more exciting gameplay. Sure, the more wealth you've accrued by the time the wipe hits, the longer your prison sentence will be. But we truly believe the real thrill lies in the journey itself — and in the organic stories born from interacting with other players.

How does the clan system work, and how many players can join a single clan?

Up to 100 people can join a single clan. For now, clans only exist on the player's chosen server, but this may change in the future.

Clans can control property and territories, but you'll have to fight competing factions to secure and hold them.

Is it better to play solo or in a party in Looty Bay?

That comes down to your strategy. Solo players will struggle in direct clashes against full parties. However, the combination of mechanics, diverse activities, vehicles, and cops encourages you to find different ways to make money. Additionally, going solo offers unique advantages that party players don't get.

Is there offline raid protection?

Your primary defense is investing in base fortification.

Equip security modules on your structures to hold off unwanted visitors. The breach decoders required to break into someone else's base aren't bought off a shelf — so raiders have to pick their targets wisely.

And even if you take a hit, it’s not game over. ROB RUN makes comebacks easy: laundered cash is safe from thieves, and any surviving structure can be rebuilt. Wiping a base off the map requires an extremely rare, loot-only item. This keeps total base wipes from being spammed or abused.

Are cops weak or strong?

It's an asymmetrical role. The cops are designed to keep you on your toes and exist to stop crooks from getting too greedy, forcing you to plan every heist and escape route down to the second.

Cops almost always outnumber you and respawn right in Looty Bay, backed by fast rides and solid equipment. Early on, they're a massive threat. But once criminals earn serious firepower, the tides turn. To balance out cops' low-risk gameplay, their rewards are noticeably lower.

Can you steal another player's car?

For now, only if you take their whole house with it. Executing a base raid that totally wipes it — which requires an ultra-rare raid item — lets you seize everything on the property, including furniture, structures, and rides parked inside. That said, any player can lockpick and raid your vehicle's trunk at any time, anywhere in the city.

Will ROB RUN be P2W?

Currently, only cosmetic items are available for purchase, offering zero gameplay advantages.
