ROB RUN Heist Guide to Infiltrating Targets, Cracking Vaults, and Escaping
Execute successful robberies in ROB RUN with squad coordination, stealth alarm sabotage, safe drilling, bank vault breaches, and clean getaway tactics.
Assembling Your Crew and Scouting Targets
Coordinated robberies form the centerpiece of ROB RUN, where players can assemble a crew of up to 3 people. Before launching a raid, explore target locations without wearing a mask. While unmasked, characters remain neutral observers who can inspect building layouts, identify cash registers and vault locations, and locate secondary escape routes without drawing police suspicion. Equipping a mask formally commits your team to Criminal status.
Disabling Alarms and Intimidating Occupants
Target facilities across Looty Bay — surveyed in our map guide — include corner retail stores, jewelry boutiques, and fortified locations such as bank vaults and police armories. Target facilities feature internal alarm boxes where disabling the security system prevents automated emergency alerts from notifying police dispatch. Crews must simultaneously intimidate employees and bystanders at gunpoint to stop manual phone calls. Avoid shooting non-hostile civilians during robberies, as harming bystanders marks your squad across the entire city map for responding officers.
Breaching Vaults and Drilling Safes
Small cash registers can be pried open rapidly, but fortified commercial safes and reinforced bank vaults require dedicated entry gear. Equip a 
Mini Drill to penetrate reinforced safe locks, with community creator testing noting that reinforced bank vaults often require multiple drills operating concurrently. While drilling proceeds, station sentries at street entrances to monitor the perimeter, as alarms or nearby gunfire can attract cruising patrol cars and rival crews to your location.
The table below lists vault breaching hardware and secure containers from the game's files.
| Breaching Tool | Category | Description |
|---|---|---|
 Lockpick | Tools & Hardware | Allows you to unlock doors and containers without setting off the alarm, as well as unlock someone else's trunk. |
 Small Safe | Base & Furniture | A small safe for storing items. A  Master Key is required to unlock it. |
 Medium Safe | Base & Furniture | A medium safe for storing items. A Master Key is required to unlock it. |
 Large Safe | Base & Furniture | A large safe for storing items. A Master Key is required to unlock it. |
Securing Loot Duffel Bags and Escaping
Once security containers open, pack loot into carry bags and transfer cash stacks directly into your getaway vehicle. Sustained crime sprees increase your Notoriety tier, multiplying payout bonuses while intensifying police pursuit. Because police officers are controlled by real players, lingering at the crime scene invites ambushes. When cornered by law enforcement, crews can negotiate bribes with player officers to let suspects walk, or surrender to preserve equipped weapons and armor while forfeiting backpack loot.
