ROB RUN Death Penalty: What You Lose by Role

What you lose depends on where you die and which role you have. Kefir gives different rules for a Criminal, a Civilian and a police officer in the city, plus a separate rule for the desert.

Death outcomes

Do not apply the city’s Civilian rule to a desert death or assume all roles have the Criminal’s city outcome.

Death versus surrender

Surrender to a city cop is a separate outcome. Kefir says police confiscate the bag but leave equipped gear in place. If you offer a bribe using money in your bank account and the officer accepts, you keep the bag. Acceptance is conditional.

The surrender guide explains the comparison. Federal surrender for a server transfer is a different action and should not be assumed to use the city-cop retention rule.
