How do I make money in ROB RUN?

Updated November 13, 2026

Kefir's help center names four earning loops: collect and sell loot, haul and flip cargo, produce goods at your base, or join the police. Settlement owners and clans that hold territory also take taxes. Cash you carry can be stolen; only laundered, banked funds last until the 7-day Federal Raid.

Step by step

Sell loot to a fence and pick the cash up at once.2 official fence optionsOne option is a van marked with a dollar sign on the Looty Bay map. The other is the Sales Center, which opens after you rent a settlement plot. Leave the payout on the counter and another player or a cop can walk off with it.Source 1
Work dumpsters while you are still broke.cash in dumpsters raised on Nov 4, 2026The launch-day patch increased how much cash dumpsters hold. That is one of the few early sources Kefir has actually quantified as 'increased,' even though no dollar figure was published.Source 2
Steal cargo or a safe and process it at your base.dismantle payout up, drop rate downVehicles matter here: some crews cut safes open at home, others flip contraband in the city. After November 4, 2026, dismantling and selling shipments pays more, but the crates appear less often and take longer to break down. The Buletti is no longer allowed to haul them.Source 3
Stand up a business on your plot.base profits raised on Nov 4, 2026Farms, labs, contraband work and similar base businesses had their profits massively increased in the launch patch. Kefir had already promised, at the end of the playtest, that those businesses would pay out several times more.Source 4
Enlist as a cop if you want a safer, smaller paycheck.cop pay is designed to stay lowerOfficers live off a cut of what they confiscate, plus arrests and accepted bribes. Kefir is explicit that this role pays less than crime, in exchange for not risking personal gear on shift.Source 5
Graduate to taxes once you own land or a district.owners collect 1 cut of tenant activityA settlement owner receives a share of what tenants spend and launder, and must pick that cut up in person. A clan that holds the surrounding district then takes a share of those settlement taxes.Source 6

Keep the money you just earned

Fences, dumpsters and businesses all pay in cash. Cash can be stolen or confiscated the moment it is in your hands, so the earning loop is only finished once the bills have been laundered into a bank account.Source 1

FAQ

What are the official ways to make money?

Four loops are listed in Kefir's help center: selling loot, hauling and flipping cargo, producing goods at a base, and joining the police. Taxes on top of that go to settlement owners and to clans that control territory.

Did the launch patch change how much I earn?

Yes. On November 4, 2026 Kefir increased dumpster cash, massively raised base-business profits, and made shipment dismantling more profitable while also making those shipments rarer and slower to break down.

Is police work a good way to get rich?

It is a listed method, but Kefir designed cop rewards to stay noticeably lower than a criminal's, because officers do not put their own equipment at risk.

Where should I put cash after a sale?

Get it off the fence's counter first. After that, Lenny's can hold cash, and the Laundering Desk at your base is what turns it into banked money. The full laundering steps are on the dedicated how-to.
