ROB RUN Loss & Offline Safety
Death • Arrest • Disconnects • Logging Out
Your location and role determine what is at risk. Ending a session is also different from safely finishing a run. Use this guide to understand the loss rules and prepare your character and base before leaving.

1. Official Death Rules| Situation | Documented result |
| Civilian dies in Looty Bay | Bag contents and equipped gear are retained |
| Criminal dies in Looty Bay | Inventory is lost |
| Criminal voluntarily surrenders | Bag is confiscated; equipped gear is retained |
| Police Officer dies | Department-issued equipment is lost; personal possessions remain protected under the stated duty rules |
| Death in the desert | All carried loot is lost |
Civilian protection inside Looty Bay does not make desert travel safe.2. What Happens if You Disconnect?Connection loss is not a dependable escape method.
Players have reported disconnections followed by inventory loss. A report does not establish the exact rule for every crash, server interruption, or character state.
There is no verified universal grace period promised in this guide.
Do not assume:- Closing the game protects your current criminal load.
- A crash automatically returns your inventory.
- Your character instantly becomes unreachable.
- Reconnecting always restores the previous situation.
3. A Recommended End-of-Session RoutineThis is a risk-reduction routine, not a guarantee against server errors.
- Finish your current activity rather than quitting during a dangerous interaction.
- Leave Looty Bay to clear Criminal status through the normal process.
- Sell or store the load you intend to keep.
- Move eligible money through your banking arrangements.
- Unload valuable vehicle contents.
- Check base security and close access points.
- Read any logout warning before confirming.
Prefer an appropriate safe hub for ending your session when practical.
4. What Continues While You Are Offline?Community documentation states that laundering and cargo opening can continue while you are away.
That does not prove:
- Every production stage automatically moves its output to the next machine.
- Every workstation has unlimited storage.
- A finished job automatically sells its products.
- An unattended base becomes protected.
Prepare inputs and collection space according to the actual workstation.
5. Your Base Remains a Separate RiskDo not rely on logging out as a defense system.
Before leaving:
- Protect valuable structures with appropriate fuses.
- Check whether alarms notify you, your clan, or the location.
- Avoid concentrating every valuable item in an easily breached building.
- Keep banked recovery funds where applicable.
Banked funds are protected against player theft, but remain subject to the weekly wipe.
6. Missing Items: Identify the Cause| Possible cause | What to check |
| Death or arrest | Role, location, and confiscation outcome |
| Base raid | Security damage and missing stored goods |
| Federal Raid | Server reset information |
| State transfer | Whether you entered another server through confiscation |
| Account mismatch | The Steam account currently signed in |
| Unexpected technical loss | Error, time, server, and supporting evidence |
7. Reporting Unexpected LossRecord:
- Your UID.
- Server or state name.
- Date and approximate time, including time zone.
- Role and location when the problem occurred.
- What disappeared and what remained.
- Screenshots, video, or the error message.
Use official support for account investigation. Community replies can help identify a mechanic, but cannot restore server-side possessions.
