The ROB RUN Weekly Wipe: What Resets, What You Keep and What to Spend First
The wipe in ROB RUN is a federal confiscation. When its timer runs out, the feds take everything you've built up in your current state, and you go to prison with a sentence based on how much they took. You keep your tattoos and your authority, and the game names B-Coin as the one asset the feds can't touch. The game text doesn't say how often a confiscation happens, so "weekly" is not something the game itself states.
How the confiscation works
The game counts down to it. You'll see a "Confiscation in" timer and a warning that your belongings will soon be confiscated. When it starts, the game announces that a federal confiscation procedure has begun. States also show a server lifetime. The game gives no fixed length for either timer and no day of the week.
What the feds take
The game says the feds confiscate all your ill-gotten assets. The Tattoo Artist and Lenny list what that covers: your money, your vehicles, your real estate, warehouses of contraband and crypto farms. On the court sheet, the line for what was confiscated just says "EVERYTHING". The charges the sheet can list are:
| Charge on the court sheet |
|---|
| Murders (with a count of people) |
| Contraband (with a count of cargo) |
| Money Laundering |
| Document Forgery |
| Land ownership |
| Funding criminal clans |
| Establishing criminal ties |
| Large-value transfer to a third party |
| Escape |
What you get for it
The more the feds confiscate, the longer your sentence and the more authority you gain in the criminal world. Your jail time is added to a running total. That total unlocks some Black Market shipments and new tattoos from the Tattoo Artist. Each state has a maximum prison term, and the game tells you when you've reached it.
What you keep
| Kept | What the game says |
|---|---|
| Tattoos and authority | The feds take your money, rides and property, but not what's tattooed on you |
| Total jail time | Unlock requirements are written as "total jail time", so it builds up across sentences |
| B-Coin | Bought with credits, and the feds can't touch it during a seizure |
| Everything, if you live in Highlands | Highlands residents can move to a new state with all their property. The strongest players gather there until the next confiscation |
What the game doesn't say
- Whether credits in your bank account survive. The game says money in your account can't be stolen by other players, but it also says the feds take "your money", and B-Coin is the only thing it calls safe.
- Whether shipment unlocks, vehicle upgrades or your clan carry over.
- Whether a new Season starts at the same time as a confiscation. Seasons are a separate system. When a new Season starts, any Season currency you haven't spent is lost.
Prison, escape and a new state
After you're sentenced, you serve your time in the County Prison. Escape points there take you back out, to the nearest state or to one you choose. The escape screen says you start from scratch in the new state. You can only change your region while you're in prison.
When you switch state, the game warns that you leave your clan and lose your progress in the current state. Any unclaimed rewards in your mail are lost if you switch server. Our server guide covers how to pick a new state.
You don't have to wait for the timer. The Surrender to Feds option ends your run early: you lose everything you own in the current state and get a prison sentence. The court sheet has a line that takes years off for voluntary surrender.
Moving plot or settlement
Moving within a state is not a wipe. If you rent a new plot, your whole base moves there with you and you stop renting the old one. You can't relocate while a raid block is active. There's a separate warning in the game that a house's whole contents will be dropped on the ground for other players to take, with laundered money moved to your account. The game doesn't say exactly which action triggers it.
What to spend first
- Season currency. Unspent Season currency is lost when a new Season starts, and the Season store has no purchase limit.
- Mail rewards. Claim them before you switch server, or you lose them.
- B-Coin. If you want to carry value through a seizure, B-Coin is the only asset the game says is safe. You buy it with credits. The bank's Currency Exchange swaps it back to cash at a rate that changes, with an exchange limit.
- Everything else. Don't panic-sell. Whatever the feds confiscate becomes jail time and authority, so a big pile of assets on confiscation day still earns you something.
