Rob Run Money Guide
Last updated:
Start with a small city run and sell the haul to a fence. Once you have a plot and a bank account, a laundering desk helps protect larger sums between runs.
Choose a route you can finish
| Route | What you need | Good time to stop |
|---|---|---|
| Dumpsters and small city loot | A short route and room in your bag | As soon as you have enough for a starter kit or a safer next run. |
| Looty Bay heists | A way in, a way out and the right gear for the target | When the exit gets busy or the take is already worth banking. |
| Shipments | A suitable vehicle and somewhere to sell or process cargo | When you can transport it without leaving valuables unattended. |
| Base business | A rented plot, structures and inputs | When the remaining cycle is too short to make the next upgrade worthwhile. |
| Police shift | An open slot at the station | Cash out between shifts and choose gear that suits the role. |
Get cash off the street
- Find the van with a dollar marker or sell to a fence at a Sales Center. Pick up the payment from the counter before walking away.
- Visit the Looty Bay Bank as a civilian and open an account.
- Use the laundering desk at your base. Give the job time to finish, then use an ATM when you need cash again.
The November 4 patch raised base business returns and made shipments more profitable to handle, while also making them less common and slower to dismantle. Check the in-game sale price and workbench yield before choosing a route. Laundered money is protected from theft during the cycle. The Federal Raid still resets it.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the fastest way to make money in Rob Run as a beginner?
Try a short Looty Bay loot run you can repeat. Sell at a fence and avoid carrying the payout into your next fight.
How do I pick up money from a fence?
Take it from the counter immediately after selling. Other players can steal it and cops can confiscate it.
Can I open a bank account as a criminal?
Kefir tells players to visit the bank as a civilian, then use a laundering desk at their base.
Should I sell a shipment or crack it at my base?
Compare the current sale value with the workbench result and time cost. If your haul is hard to replace, weigh the risk of the extra trip.
Do I keep my bank account money after a wipe?
The account helps protect funds from thieves within a cycle. The Federal Raid resets cash.
