The ROB RUN wipe happens every 7 days on each server. Kefir calls it the Federal Raid. It wipes your plots, bases, weapons and cash and turns them into jail time and Authority. Your cosmetics, player name, tutorial progress, settings and accumulated jail time stay. The launch servers should reach their first Federal Raid around Wednesday, November 11, but that date is an estimate.
Last checked: November 9, 2026. ROB RUN is in Early Access, so Kefir can change these rules.

When Is the ROB RUN Wipe?
Each server runs its own seven-day cycle, and new servers open every day. Your wipe date depends on when your server opened. Kefir has not published an exact wipe hour for each server.
| Status | Detail |
|---|---|
| Confirmed | The wipe cycle is 7 days |
| Confirmed | Launch servers were planned to open on November 4 at 5 PM UTC |
| Estimate | First wipe for launch servers: Wednesday, November 11, 2026, around 5 PM UTC |
| Not published | The exact wipe hour for each server |
In other time zones, 5 PM UTC is 6 PM in Central Europe, 8 PM in Moscow and 12 PM Eastern.
Servers that open later wipe later. Kefir plans at least one fresh server per day in each region: EU at 5 PM UTC and East US at 8 PM ET. Extra servers open automatically when needed, even outside those times. A new server opening does not mean the older ones just wiped.
How to Check When Your Server Wipes
The server selection screen shows how old each server is. Use that age to work out your wipe time.
- Find your server on the server selection screen.
- Read its server age.
- Subtract that age from 7 days.
A server that is 2 days old wipes in about 5 days. If you join late, you do not get a new seven days. A server that is already 3 days old has 4 days left. Treat the result as an estimate, because Kefir has not published a wipe countdown.
Do not use Surrender to Feds to check anything. It works like an early wipe of your progress on that server.
When a fresh server opens, patrol cops only have pistols for the first 30 minutes. Better gear becomes available after that. I’d join a fresh server if I wanted an even start. Our guide on how to change servers in ROB RUN covers the switch.
What Resets and What You Keep After the Federal Raid
Kefir lists four things that get wiped and five that carry over. Wiped assets turn into jail time and Authority. Kefir says each wipe levels the playing field for a new power struggle.
| Wiped | Kept |
|---|---|
| Plots | Cosmetics |
| Bases | Player name |
| Weapons | Tutorial progress |
| Cash | Settings |
| Accumulated jail time |
Kefir’s list does not mention vehicles, Shipments or clan membership. Clans only exist on the server you chose, for now.
Does Unspent Season Currency Reset?
Cosmetics you already unlocked stay. Unspent season currency is a different thing, and Kefir has not said what happens to it. One Reddit player reports losing unspent crowns, the season currency, after Surrender to Feds, and expects the weekly wipe to do the same. Nothing confirms that yet.
Spend it before you use Surrender to Feds. Press Esc, go to Customization, then Seasons, then View to see how much you have.
Does Banked Money Survive the ROB RUN Wipe?
Banked money is safe from theft until the next wipe. The Federal Raid does not skip the bank, so don’t count on it to carry money into the next cycle.
To bank money, open an account at the Looty Bay Bank as a Civilian. Then run your cash through the Laundering Desk at your base. Each laundering run takes time, and you can withdraw cash at any ATM. Kefir has raised how much cash the Laundering Desk can hold, so bigger batches fit.
The bank still helps during the week, because cash you carry can be stolen or confiscated. Our ROB RUN money guide covers banking and laundering in full.
When the wipe hits, the money you hold counts toward your sentence. Kefir says the more wealth you have by then, the longer your prison sentence will be.
What Do Jail Time and Authority Give You After a Wipe?
Jail time is the part of your week that lasts. It carries over from wipe to wipe, and a longer prison sentence adds more of it. Kefir has not published a formula for it. It has also not said how Authority is calculated.
Jail time works like a progress level. Each milestone unlocks a tattoo at the tattoo artist, and tattoos unlock skins and some Shipments. Claim them in order.
Here is a court result from a Surrender to Feds. It shows what the game counts.
| Confiscated | Amount |
|---|---|
| Possessions | $1,666,033 |
| Vehicles | $0 |
| Properties | $98,000 |
| Bank Account | $16,774 |
| Land ownership | $40,000 |
| Illegal operations | |
| Funding criminal clans | $0 |
| Establishing criminal ties | $732,000 |
| Bribing officials | $0 |
| Large-value transfer to a third party | $1,000,000 |
| Total | $3,552,807 |
| Final sentence | 15 years |
The 15 new years were added to the 1 year every character starts with, so the total became 16 years. The next unlock then sat at 40 years.
Low-value characters get little. A character worth about $340,000 earned no extra years. Do not trust claims of a guaranteed extra year per surrender.
This example is a Surrender to Feds, so treat it as a rough picture. Kefir has not said the weekly wipe counts assets the same way.
ROB RUN Wipe vs. Surrender to Feds and Other Losses
Four events can take your stuff, and they work differently. Only the Federal Raid is the scheduled wipe.
| Event | What you lose | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Federal Raid | Plots, bases, weapons and cash | Happens every 7 days. Converts into jail time and Authority |
| Surrender to Feds | Possessions, vehicles, properties, land and banked money | You leave the server early and take a prison sentence |
| Cop surrender | Bag contents | You keep equipped gear. A bribe lets you keep all your loot |
| Disconnect loss | Session progress | Reported after server disconnects. Not a scheduled wipe |
Surrender to Feds takes all your possessions, not only the items you carry. Kefir’s fix for joining a friend on another server uses this same button:
- Open the global map.
- Select the Prison location.
- Click Surrender to Feds.
- Switch to your friend’s server inside the prison.
- Resend the party invite.
This works, but you lose your progress on the current server. I’d use it only when you have little to lose, such as right after a wipe. Our guide on joining a friend on another server has more. For the difference between surrendering and bribing a cop, see the ROB RUN beginner guide.
Lost Your Progress and Not Sure Why?
If your base, weapons and cash are gone, check the wipe first.
- 1- Count the days. If your server has run 7 days, the Federal Raid explains the loss.
- 2- Make sure you are logged into the correct Steam account.
- 3- If the loss is unexpected, send Kefir support your UID, player name and the approximate time of the loss.
Disconnects can also cost progress. A Steam player reports losing about $100,000 earned as a cop after a server disconnect. Kefir has not explained cases like this, and a disconnect is not a Federal Raid.
Will the ROB RUN Wipe Change From 7 Days?
Kefir says each wipe cycle lasts seven days right now, and the length could change later.
Players are split on it. Many ask for two weeks or a month, and some want servers with no wipe at all. Their main point is that casual players cannot get past the first gear tier in a week. Others defend the wipe. They say it keeps clans in check and stops anyone from holding end gear all the time, and new players can join a fresh server every day.
Kefir announces changes on the ROB RUN Steam news page, so check it each week while the game is in Early Access.
