ROB RUN: Global Map

The playtest is right around the corner, and we're ready to share some more secrets about ROB RUN. Today, let's take a closer look at the global map and its features.

Once you've saved up enough cash, it’s time to consider building your own base in the desert. Player bases on the server share a single global map.

The map is split into districts made up of separate settlements. To rent a plot for your base, the settlement must be owned either by you or another player. You can't claim land in an unowned district.

Settlement owners collect taxes on all financial transactions made by the players living there. But be careful — collecting taxes is one thing; getting out alive with the cash is another.

Districts are split into different levels. A district’s level determines which features are available to players and changes the selection of items you can buy there.

Your choice of place to settle in can also be influenced by special structures that affect surrounding settlements — providing extra defense, business bonuses, discounts, and more. Some settlements can even be located near multiple special structures at once.

Every district features a central hub where residents can sell off their stolen loot. Unlike in Looty Bay, prices here can be significantly higher — though such a popular spot comes with its own dangers…

The desert is a lawless wasteland. No one is safe here, and any player can try to take your life. Even your own base won't keep you completely secure — neighbors can always attempt to break in. From tax collection to fencing stolen loot, danger is around every corner, so keep your head on a swivel.

Fending off raids alone is tough, so why not form a clan? Clans fight to dominate entire districts and their settlements and tax all local residents. Better yet, the clan that claims the central district collects taxes from every player on the entire map. Now that is a real jackpot.
