ROB RUN Map Guide: Looty Bay and the Global Map

ROB RUN is played across two kinds of space. Looty Bay is the city where the heists happen. The global map is a desert of districts and settlements where players build bases and fight over territory.

Looty Bay: the heist city

Looty Bay is the main location for heists and robberies. It's packed with targets, from small corner stores and jewelry shops to high-value targets like bank vaults and police armories. What a location pays depends on your gear, keys and prep: the same building can net pocket change or a huge payday.

Key places in and around Looty Bay:

• Looty Bay Police Station: where players enlist as cops.
• Looty Bay Bank: open an account here as a Civilian; laundered money becomes safe from theft until the wipe.
• Fence vans: look for a van marked with a dollar sign on the map to sell valuables.
• Lenny's Motel: where every new cycle starts. Lenny explains the core mechanics, and Lenny's is the only place you can store cash before you have a base.
• Parking Terminals: rent a car for free if you don't have one.

The city is also where roles split. You become a Criminal only when you put on a mask. Every time you enter, you can choose to be a criminal or a cop, or just look around first.

The global map: districts and settlements

Player bases (see the contraband workbench guide for running a base business) on a server share one global map, split into districts made up of settlements:

• You can only rent a plot in a settlement that has an owner; you can't claim land in an unowned district.
• District levels decide which features are available and which items you can buy. Plots in level 2 and level 3 districts need special documents from the Black Market.
• Special structures boost nearby settlements with extra defense, business bonuses or discounts.
• Every district has a central hub where residents sell stolen loot, often at much better prices than in Looty Bay, but popular hubs are dangerous.
• The desert is lawless: anyone can attack you, and dying there means losing all your loot.

Highlands: the center of power

The central Highlands district is the top of ROB RUN's power pyramid. The leader of the clan that controls it becomes the Shadow Governor, the only one in the game world, who taxes every other clan on the map. You can only buy a helicopter if your base is in the central district.

Other locations

• Prison: pick it on the global map and choose "Surrender to Feds" to switch servers (for example, to join a friend).
• Sales Center: settlement residents can offload goods here.
