How to Play ROB RUN: Beginner Tips
A few decisions to make before your next trip into the city.
Understand your role
Learn the difference between civilian, criminal and police play before putting valuables at risk. The right role matters as much as the next item you pick up.
Plan the trip back
Think about your return route before you start filling your inventory. A sale is only useful if you can reach the trader and leave with your money.
Check unlocks and purchases
Equipment unlocks and the items you buy are different decisions. Read the relevant guide before spending your cash.
Collect your sale proceeds
Pay attention to how the trader hands over payment. The selling guide explains the player footage and the cash-pile interaction it shows.
Do not treat storage as a wipe exemption
Keeping cash away from immediate danger and keeping it through a server wipe are different questions. Read the official reset rules before planning around storage.
Start with a manageable objective
Learn the opening loot-and-sale loop before committing everything to a larger robbery. Use what you learn to choose your next activity.
