ROB RUN Wipe Strategy: How to Plan a 7-Day Cycle

What is the best way to play a ROB RUN week?

Treat each cycle as a fresh character with a fixed budget of days. Everything you own on day 7 disappears, so the goal is not net worth but jail time, authority and the skills you keep.

A plan that fits the seven days:

Day	Focus	Spend on
1	Intro, first stores, bank account	Lockpick, one Mini Drill, DP-9
2	Heist chain, Notoriety 3+	More drills, basic rifle
3	Plot and Laundering Desk	Green plot deed, storage
4	Production chain and defence	Grow Table or reactor, 3–4 fuses
5	Cargo and high-value targets	Van, cargo workbench
6	Group content: hotels, bank, clan claims	Tools for two- and three-person jobs
7	Sell, launder, convert	Nothing long-term

Day 1: cash flow, nothing else

The first day is about not being helpless. Take the free rental, rob one small store, sell, open the bank account. If your server is already on day 4 or later when you join, skip to the final-day plan below — do not buy a plot on a server that wipes tomorrow.

Buy in this order: lockpick ($99), one Mini Drill ($18,000), DP-9 (free unlock, $300). That is under $20,000 and it turns you from a target into a threat.

Day 2: chain heists for Notoriety

Notoriety is the multiplier nobody plans around. It rises from almost every criminal action and pays 10% at level 2 up to 50% at level 5 at the Fence. Two stores cleared before selling beat two stores sold separately.

Target mix: a jewelry store or equipment store for the gold item, then a convenience store on the way out. Per-item values are in loot and sell prices.

Day 3: get off the street

Rent a plot and put down a main building plus the Laundering Desk. Laundering is slow, so every day you delay it is a day of interest lost. A green Land Plot Title is $100,000 and tier 1 land costs documents since 4 November.

Deposit cash the same day. Money on your character can be stolen; money in the account cannot.

Day 4: production and fuses

Pick one production chain, not two: a Grow Table for plants or a Chemical Reactor for chemicals. Then spend the rest on defence — three or four electronic fuses at $20,000 each. A base with production and no fuses funds the raider’s next cycle.

Day 5: cargo

Cargo is where a van pays for itself. A Longhorn Van holds 48 trunk cells and 6 cargo slots for $180,000, and cargo sells to the Smuggler for up to $500,000 per Unique Collection Crate. Repack contraband at a Contraband Workbench for a better price. See vehicles and money making.

Day 6: the jobs that need people

With two or three players, the hotel Vehicle Theft jobs and the bank vault become viable. The bank needs three Mini Drills, a Drill from Barters and the ID card. Bring a second player to hold the door and a third for the haul.

Day 7: convert, do not hoard

This is the day most players lose value. Cash is wiped, unlaundered loot is wiped, plots and vehicles are wiped. What survives is jail time, authority, cosmetics, your name, tutorial progress and settings.

In order:

Sell everything you are not using, at high Notoriety if you can still raise it.
Launder what you can — an uncollected balance is still wiped, but a collected one buys bribes and clan membership before the reset.
Spend cash on anything you keep — cosmetics, B-Coins via the exchange, or tool unlocks that make the next cycle faster.
Let the raid convert the rest into jail time, which is the only number that compounds.

What carries over, exactly?

Wiped	Kept
Plots, bases, modules	Cosmetics
Weapons, gear, vehicles	Player name
Cash and bank money	Tutorial progress
Property value (converted)	Settings
	Accumulated jail time

The more wealth you hold when the raid hits, the longer the prison sentence. Accumulated jail time carries across wipes, and it is the reason a finished cycle still moves you forward.

Joining mid-cycle

If a server is on day 5 when you start, do not build. Rob stores, sell, keep moving, and switch to a fresh server at the next daily opening — EU at 17:00 UTC, East US at 20:00 ET. The wipe timer shows exactly how much time is left.
