Field guides
Rob Run Base Building
Last updated:
Rent a vacant plot in a settlement that already has an owner, then place buildings and equipment from your inventory. Start with secure storage and a workbench that supports the job you actually run.
Rent land and get a roof up
- Use the global map to compare owned settlements. Consider the route to sales hubs and what the district gives you access to.
- Go to the sign beside a vacant plot. Read the price and required documents before paying. The launch patch switched Tier 1 land rentals to documents.
- Deploy structures and furniture from inventory. Kefir’s base guide lists purchased and looted pieces as sources.
- Add a warehouse, farm, lab or garage once it solves a problem. A garage makes sense when you have another car to store.
Protect the things you use
| Priority | What to do |
|---|---|
| Keep key items usable | Separate the tools you need for tomorrow’s run from anything you can sell now. |
| Slow raiders down | Fortify structures and use defensive modules. Kefir also describes raid alerts for players and allies. |
| Plan a comeback | Launder money during the cycle and keep a replaceable kit. A surviving structure can be rebuilt. |
| Leave bad neighbors | Kefir describes moving a base with its contents. Look for the current relocation option before committing to a long move. |
A base gives you an additional respawn point, storage and business capacity. The Federal Raid resets plots and structures, so consider how many runs are left before expanding.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build in an unowned settlement?
Choose a settlement with an owner and rent a vacant plot from its sign.
What does the first plot cost?
Read the rental sign in your current build. The launch patch switched Tier 1 rentals to documents, and higher districts require special Black Market documents.
Can other players raid me while I’m offline?
Plan as if your base can be targeted. Kefir recommends fortification, security modules and help from allies.
Can I move my base later?
Kefir’s Base Management post describes moving your base and its contents. Check the current in-game relocation controls.
Do I keep the base after a wipe?
Plots and structures reset at the Federal Raid. Check how long your server has been open before a major expansion.
