ROB RUN Beginner Guide: First Heist, Loot and Base

After the introductory quests, Kefir directs new players to Lenny at his Motel for the core mechanics. You can then pursue heists, cargo, base production, police work or territory control. The developer lists several paths rather than requiring one fixed career.

1. Get your bearings and choose a job

Talk to Lenny and decide what you want to try first. Heists introduce city robbery; police work is another way to participate; cargo and base production become useful if you want to move or process goods. The money guide compares the official categories without promising a fixed income.

If you have no active vehicle, Kefir says you can rent a car for free at a Parking Terminal. A free rental and owning a vehicle are separate things.

2. Understand the risk before a heist

Kefir recommends scouting the building and an escape route before putting on a mask. The mask enables robberies, but police and other Criminals can attack a masked robber. Leaving Looty Bay clears Criminal status; the official heist guide also warns that death costs the contents of the bag.

You can use the heist guide for the sequence and death and loot rules for the differences between roles and locations.

3. Sell and collect the payout

To sell valuables, look for the dollar-marked van in Looty Bay or use a Sales Center. Collect cash from the counter immediately; otherwise, it can be stolen or confiscated. Lenny’s storage accepts cash only, while stolen goods can be stored at a base that other players may raid.

4. Work toward a base and bank account

A base gives you a place to store goods and use a Laundering Desk. Kefir says to open a bank account at Looty Bay Bank as a Civilian, then launder cash at the desk. Banked funds are protected from theft until the next wipe and can be withdrawn at an ATM. See renting a plot and cash laundering.

FAQ

Do I need to buy a car immediately? No. Kefir describes a free rental when you do not have an active vehicle.

Can I store stolen goods at Lenny’s? The official storage answer says Lenny’s accepts only cash.

Is one activity required after the intro? The developer lists multiple directions and does not prescribe one required career.
