ROB RUN - Death, Disconnecting & Offline Safety Guide

[Diamond]

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 Routine

This 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 Risk

Do 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 Loss

Record:

• 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.
