ROB RUN HubThe ROB RUN team posted this on Steam on November 4, 2026 at 13:04 UTC, after the playtest. Kefir says none of these changes are set in stone and that it will adjust them if needed.
Server schedule
- There are two regions: EU and East US. Kefir plans to add more later.
- Kefir plans to open at least one fresh server per day in each region:
| Region | New server opens |
|---|---|
| EU | 5 PM UTC |
| East US | 8 PM ET (01:00 UTC the next day while US Eastern is on standard time) |
- Extra servers open automatically when needed, including outside these times.
The UTC conversion for East US is ours; the announcement only gives ET.
What the schedule does not tell you
These are the times new servers open, not the time a server is wiped. The post gives no Federal Raid time, so our wipe timer still shows the time as unconfirmed. For what a wipe resets, see the Federal Raid rules.
Gameplay changes
Cops
- Cop respawn time is longer, and grows with each consecutive death.
- Cops can now buy police badges. Which badges are offered depends on the district the cop lives in.
- Far fewer badges now come from looting and cop salaries.
- On a fresh server, patrol cops only get pistols. Better gear unlocks as the server gets older.

Economy and progression
- Tier 1 settlements and land rentals now cost documents instead of cash.
- Profits from base businesses, including farms, labs and contraband, are massively increased.
- Dumpsters hold more cash.
- Dismantling and selling shipments pays much more, but shipments drop less often and take longer to dismantle.
- Certain items cost more to unlock and buy in Tier 2 and Tier 3 settlements.
- The basic pistol is cheaper, and there are more starter weapon spawn points around the city.
Kefir says it considered giving players a pistol after every death, but kept the start-from-nothing design. Instead it made weapons easier to find and limited cops’ starting gear.

Items and other changes
- The Buletti can no longer transport shipments.
- Cracking the Fabergé Egg takes less time, but trading for a glass cutter needs more tablets.
- The laundering desk can hold far more cash. See bank accounts and laundering.
- Decoders, gold bars and several other items stack higher. Decoders are used to raid bases.
- Kefir also made other technical and gameplay adjustments without listing them.
