ROB RUN Major Heist Guide

Bank, Police Armory, Art Gallery and Grand Hotel

Major heists require specific equipment and can attract attention across Looty Bay. Prepare for the actual objective: opening a room, breaching a vault, and taking an exhibit are separate interactions.

This guide covers documented requirements and a practical preparation sequence. Exact door positions, current timers, and some access conditions still need live-game confirmation.

Quick Equipment Reference

Objective	Relevant equipment
Bank vault breach	Drill
Bank gold-vault access	Bank-specific Exotic ID Card; prepare the Drill for the wider vault operation
Police Station armory	Police-armory-specific Exotic ID Card
Art Gallery exhibit	Legendary Glass Cutter; inspect the exhibit prompt for current requirements
Art Gallery locked vault	Gallery-specific Keycard; Mini Drills for eligible safes inside
Grand Hotel exhibition car	Exotic Jammer
Grand Hotel secret storage	Hotel-specific Keycard; additional tools for the containers inside

Two items called "ID Card" or "Keycard" can open completely different targets. Read the description.

1. Looty Bay Bank

What to prepare

• A Drill for the vault-breach interaction.
• The Bank gold-vault ID Card if targeting the gold-vault access stage.
• Space for loot and any additional tools needed inside.
• An escape vehicle and a planned destination.

Preparation and execution

• Locate the bank and inspect the route before becoming a Criminal.
• Distinguish the vault-breach prompt from the gold-vault card reader.
• Bring equipment for both stages if your objective is the full gold-vault operation.
• Position your vehicle and agree who handles access, security, and loading.
• Activate the appropriate interaction and follow its live progress display.
• Prioritise valuable loot that fits your available carrying capacity.
• Leave when your planned load is secured or the situation becomes unmanageable.

Important distinction: the Drill and the Bank ID Card are different items with different functions. Do not assume one automatically replaces the other.

Starting the Drill is documented as announcing the operation to the city. Plan around an exposed operation rather than a guaranteed silent robbery.

Business consideration: include the value of the barter ingredients used to obtain the Drill and card. Found ingredients still have an alternative sale or use value.

2. Police Station Armory

Required access item: the Exotic ID Card whose description identifies the Police Station armory.

Documented acquisition: exchange 20 Evidence through the relevant barter service.

Preparation and execution

• Confirm that your card names the armory, not another Police Station room.
• Inspect the station and locate the matching interaction.
• Prepare inventory space before using the card.
• Complete the armory-access interaction shown in the live game.
• Expect attention once the armory breach is announced.
• Take the items useful to your operation and leave through your planned route.

A Police Station room Keycard and the armory ID Card are separate access items.

Business consideration: equipment you intend to use may have more practical value than its immediate resale offer. Decide whether this run is for cash, replacement kits, or supplying your crew.

Still requiring confirmation: the complete current loot pool, reset conditions, and exact interaction timing.

3. Art Gallery Exhibit

Glass Cutter — game item image via Wikily.

Relevant tool: Legendary Glass Cutter.

Documented barter: 3 filled Epic Code Tablets.

A community walkthrough identifies the displayed BIG EGG #53 as the exhibit target and describes the Gallery's locked vault as a separate activity.

Preparation and execution

• Obtain a Glass Cutter before travelling to the Gallery.
• Identify the exhibit interaction and read its current requirements.
• Check that your carrying arrangements can accommodate the reward.
• Complete the exhibit interaction when your escape route is ready.
• Follow the game's notifications and collect the resulting item.
• Leave rather than adding unrelated objectives to an already exposed run.

Access clarification: published references disagree about whether the Gallery Keycard is an additional exhibit requirement or belongs only to the separate vault. Check the live exhibit prompt before spending the cutter.

Optional vault visit: the Gallery-specific Keycard addresses the locked vault. Community reporting describes large safes inside that require Mini Drills.

A card that opens a room does not automatically open the safes inside it.

Business consideration: the cutter consumes ingredients you could otherwise sell or use. Compare the complete cost with the realised reward from successful runs.

4. Grand Hotel Exhibition Car

Relevant tool: Exotic Jammer.

The documented target is the exhibition Buletti Soltempra. The car's control console is separate from the hotel's locked storage.

Preparation and execution

• Obtain the Jammer and confirm its description identifies the exhibition-car interaction.
• Locate the displayed car and its console.
• Plan how you will leave with the target vehicle.
• Use the Jammer at the matching console.
• Follow the live hacking timer and completion prompts.
• Complete the vehicle-taking interaction once available.

The heist is documented as producing city-wide notifications. Do not interpret the Jammer's item description as a guarantee that other players receive no warning.

Optional storage visit: the Grand Hotel Keycard opens a different area. It is not a substitute for the Jammer.

Still requiring confirmation: a reliable current Jammer acquisition route. No guaranteed spawn location is claimed here.

5. Checklist Before Any Major Heist

• Do I have the exact item for this objective?
• Does it require a specific rarity or filled state?
• Am I prepared for the containers behind the first door?
• Can I carry and transport the reward?
• Where will I sell or store it?
• Can I afford to lose this kit and the access items?

6. Calculate the Real Return

Realised reward value
minus access-item and barter costs
minus consumables and losses
equals the run's net return.

Include failed attempts when comparing heists. One exceptional success does not establish a reliable average.

Finishing the objective is only part of the job. Keeping and using the reward completes it.
