How do I prepare for the 7-day Federal Raid?

Updated November 13, 2026

A Federal Raid hits each official server every seven days. Plots, bases, weapons and cash are wiped and converted into jail time and authority. Cosmetics, your player name, tutorial progress, settings and accumulated jail time stay with you. Kefir has already said that seven-day length could change later.

Step by step

Plan around a weekly reset, not a permanent character.cycle length is 7 days todayKefir's help center and the October FAQ both describe a seven-day wipe. The same FAQ states that wipe lengths could be adjusted down the road, so treat the number as the current rule, not a promise.Source 1
Convert dirty cash before the raid, knowing the bank is not wipe-proof.banked funds beat theft, not the Federal RaidLaundered money cannot be stolen by other players, which is why it is worth banking early in the week. When the raid lands, that balance is still wiped along with plots, bases and weapons.Source 2
Decide how rich you want to be when the clock runs out.more wealth means a longer sentenceKefir's October FAQ says the more wealth you have accrued by the time the wipe hits, the longer your prison sentence will be. The help center then converts that wiped progress into jail time and authority.Source 3
Treat jail time as a resource that survives the reset.jail time carries across wipesAccumulated jail time is one of the few progress tracks that is not erased. It also appears as a requirement for unlocking some entries on the Shipments tab, together with living in a settlement of a given level.Source 4
Expect to start the next cycle from the bottom of the Power Pyramid.everyone is a Hobo againAfter the raid you are back to having no cash and no land, crashing at Lenny's until you rent a plot. The point of the wipe, in Kefir's words, is a level playing field for a new power struggle.Source 5
If you want a fresh map, watch the daily server openings.2 regions, at least 1 new server per day eachOfficial servers currently exist in EU and East US only. Kefir plans to open at least one fresh server per day in each region: 5 PM UTC for EU and 8 PM ET for East US, with extra servers spinning up when load requires it.Source 6

Why the weekly raid exists

Kefir's stated goal is a rags-to-riches story that needs everyone on the same starting line. A green rookie and a seasoned heister are meant to compete on that reset, not on a years-old stash. Community servers are not available; at launch only official servers exist.Source 1

FAQ

Is the seven-day schedule final?

Not necessarily. Right now each wipe cycle lasts seven days, but Kefir has said those lengths could change later.

What is not deleted in a Federal Raid?

Cosmetics, your player name, tutorial progress, settings and the jail time you have already accumulated. Everything else listed in the help center — plots, bases, weapons and cash — is wiped.

Can I play on a private or community server to skip the wipe?

No. Kefir said that at launch only official servers would be available.

When do new official servers open?

At least once a day in each of the two current regions: 5 PM UTC in EU and 8 PM ET in East US. Additional servers can open automatically outside those times.
