ROB RUN Server Wipe and Reset Cycle

What a ROB RUN Server Wipe Is

ROB RUN runs on a repeating cycle in which progress inside the game world is reset and turned into consequence: you lose your plot, base, weapons, and cash, and the wipe converts what you held into jail time and authority. It is an in-game reset, not a Steam account reset. It is the game's way of closing one cycle and opening the next.

That matters for how you read every other guide about ROB RUN. Advice about "building up" is advice within one seven-day window. Do not assume that items not covered by the official list are retained.

The Seven-Day ROB RUN Federal Raid Cycle

The cycle is seven days long. Kefir's help documentation confirms the seven-day interval but does not confirm a specific wipe hour. There is also no confirmed server count and no confirmed delay schedule in the sources available for this page. If someone gives you an exact reset time, treat it as unconfirmed until it appears in official communications.

What is confirmed is the outcome at the boundary: plots, bases, weapons, and cash are wiped and converted into jail time and authority. Kefir also says accumulated jail time carries over. It does not provide a complete item-by-item inventory in this explanation, so do not assume a result for anything not named.

What Resets and What You Keep in ROB RUN

Use these two lists as the practical split when planning a cycle.

Resets at the Federal Raid wipe:

• Plots
• Bases
• Weapons
• Cash

Carries over:

• Cosmetics
• Player name
• Tutorial progress
• Settings
• Accumulated jail time

The resets list is about assets you can lose. The carry-over list is about identity, appearance, and record. Note what is missing from both lists: Kefir does not explicitly state whether the in-game bank account persists, or what exactly happens to cash that has been banked. The sources confirm that laundering protects funds from being stolen until the next wipe, but they do not confirm whether that protection extends past the wipe itself. Do not assume that a bank balance is protected through the reset.

The second boundary to keep straight: the in-game bank account is not your Steam account. These are separate things. A wipe that clears plots and cash does not touch your Steam account, and nothing in ROB RUN's wipe rules changes how Steam itself works.

Where ROB RUN Server News and Patch Notes Are Posted

Kefir’s ROB RUN Steam news is an official source for ROB RUN updates. When you need to check for wipe-related announcements, patch notes, or changes to how the cycle works, the Steam news page for the game is the channel Kefir uses.

That is the reliable reference point. Community posts, video comments, and third-party summaries can be useful for tips, but they are not where official changes are published. If a claim about reset times, wipe mechanics, or server rules matters to your planning, verify it against Steam news before acting on it.

What to Do Before a ROB RUN Wipe

Because the wipe turns holdings into jail time and authority, the decisions that matter are the ones you make inside the cycle, not the ones you make in the last hour.

1. Decide what the cash is for. Cash resets. If you are holding it for a purchase, make the purchase while the cycle is still live; if you are holding it as savings, understand that the wipe is the deadline.
2. Launder what you want protected from theft. Laundering protects funds from being stolen until the next wipe. If other players can take your money, laundering is the tool the game gives you — but do not treat it as confirmed protection through the wipe itself.
3. Check Steam news for the current cycle. Use the official news channel rather than a guessed time to plan your actions.
4. Review what carries over. Kefir lists accumulated jail time among the things that remain; it lists your base and weapons among those reset.
5. Keep cosmetics and settings decisions separate from wipe planning. They carry over, so there is no need to rush them before a reset.

The common mistake is treating the bank as a permanent vault. The confirmed rule is narrower: laundering protects funds from theft until the next wipe. The official wipe explanation does not specify bank account persistence or the treatment of banked cash. Check official updates before relying on either.

A useful way to prepare is to separate a decision you can make now from an outcome that is not documented. You can choose whether to use your cash during the current cycle, but you cannot infer that a particular bank balance will be kept. If you have goods to sell, consider selling them while you can make use of the proceeds. Selling is a choice for your current run, not a guarantee about what happens to every kind of item after the raid.

Before acting on a shared countdown, check what it actually describes and whether Kefir has confirmed it. The published seven-day interval answers how long a cycle lasts; it does not establish a universal hour for every server. A later announcement could change the information players should use, so read the date and the update itself rather than relying on a copied headline.

If your question concerns a specific item, compare it to the confirmed lists above. When it is not listed, keep its status open and consult Kefir's support material or a later official update. Treating an unknown as unknown is more useful than promising that an item or bank balance will survive. For the basics of a new run, use the beginner walkthrough linked below.
