Quick Answer
- Every ROB RUN server wipes seven days after it opens. Kefir calls the wipe the Federal Raid. The official Help Center says: "Every seven days, all plots, bases, weapons, and cash are wiped and converted into jail time and authority."
- The first Federal Raid lands around Wednesday, November 11, 2026 for the launch servers that opened on November 4 at 5 PM UTC. Servers that opened later wipe later, on their own seven-day clock.
- Gone at the wipe: plots, bases, weapons and all cash. That includes money you laundered into the Looty Bay Bank. Kefir says banked money is safe from theft "until the next wipe", not through it.
- Kept after the wipe: cosmetics, your player name, tutorial progress, settings and accumulated jail time.
- Fresh servers open every day. There are two regions, EU and East US. At least one new server opens per region daily: EU at 5 PM UTC, East US at 8 PM ET.
When is the next ROB RUN wipe?
There is no single global wipe day in ROB RUN. Each server runs its own cycle, and the clock starts when that server opens. So the answer depends on which server you play on and when it went live.
The anchor for most players is launch day. Kefir's release-date announcement said it intended to bring the servers online "at 5 PM UTC" on November 4, 2026. Add seven days and the launch servers reach their first Federal Raid on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, around 5 PM UTC. That is 6 PM in Central Europe, 8 PM in Moscow and 12 PM Eastern.
Kefir has only published the seven-day interval. It has not published a per-server wipe clock or an exact hour, and it has said the length can change. Treat the times below as estimated first-wipe times, subject to change, not as an announced schedule. Don't leave a big pile of cash unbanked on the evening before.
What is the ROB RUN server schedule?
On launch day Kefir posted First Changes & Server Schedule. ROB RUN currently runs two regions, EU and East US, and Kefir plans to open "at least one fresh server per day in each region":
| Region | Daily fresh-server time | In other time zones |
|---|---|---|
| EU | 5 PM UTC | 6 PM CET, 8 PM Moscow |
| East US | 8 PM ET | 5 PM PT, 1 AM UTC the next day |
Kefir adds servers automatically when load demands it, "including outside these scheduled times". So a server you joined at an odd hour may not follow the table. Kefir has said it will add more regions later, but none had been announced by November 7.
Because servers open daily and each wipes seven days later, a server wipes every day somewhere. Here is the expected first Federal Raid for each scheduled opening in launch week:
| Server opened (scheduled slot) | First Federal Raid due |
|---|---|
| Launch servers, Wed Nov 4, 5 PM UTC | Wed Nov 11, around 5 PM UTC |
| EU, Thu Nov 5, 5 PM UTC | Thu Nov 12, around 5 PM UTC |
| East US, Thu Nov 5, 8 PM ET | Thu Nov 12, around 8 PM ET |
| EU, Fri Nov 6, 5 PM UTC | Fri Nov 13, around 5 PM UTC |
| East US, Fri Nov 6, 8 PM ET | Fri Nov 13, around 8 PM ET |
| EU, Sat Nov 7, 5 PM UTC | Sat Nov 14, around 5 PM UTC |
| East US, Sat Nov 7, 8 PM ET | Sat Nov 14, around 8 PM ET |
If you don't know when your server opened, think back to the first evening you played on it. If the server was brand new that night, add seven days. If it was already running, your wipe comes sooner.
What does the Federal Raid wipe?
The Help Center lists four things that reset: plots, bases, weapons and cash. In practice that is most of what you build during a week:
| Wiped at the Federal Raid | Kept through the wipe |
|---|---|
| Rented and owned plots | Cosmetics |
| Your base and everything built on it | Player name |
| Weapons | Tutorial progress |
| Cash you carry or store | Settings |
| Banked (laundered) money | Accumulated jail time |
The banked-money line catches people out. Laundering is the right move during the week, because it protects your money from theft. Kefir's money FAQ says: "Cash can be stolen or confiscated. Banked money is safe from theft until the next wipe." The bank keeps your money away from other players. It does not keep it away from the Federal Raid.
Settlements and land follow the same rule. In its Power Pyramid dev post, Kefir wrote that "no one can seize your settlement before the wipe". That protects a settlement owner from rivals for the week, and the raid then resets it like everything else.
What do you keep after a ROB RUN wipe?
Your character doesn't start from scratch. Cosmetics, your name, tutorial progress, settings and accumulated jail time all carry over. Kefir also says everything wiped is "converted into jail time and authority", so the week's work turns into long-term standing instead of disappearing.
Jail time scales with how rich you were when the raid hit. In its pre-launch Frequently Asked Questions post, Kefir wrote: "the more wealth you've accrued by the time the wipe hits, the longer your prison sentence will be." The prison screen on the Steam store page shows what that looks like: a "JAIL TIME 41 YEARS" banner over the cell block.
Cosmetics are also the only thing you can pay real money for right now. Kefir's FAQ says "only cosmetic items are available for purchase, offering zero gameplay advantages", and the Help Center lists cosmetics among the things that carry over.
Why does ROB RUN wipe every week?
Kefir built the whole game around a seven-day rags-to-riches loop. From the same FAQ:
"With every server wipe, a new exciting story is created. In ROB RUN, the thrill comes from going from rags to riches and proving yourself against the competition — something that requires a level playing field for everyone."
The length isn't fixed forever. Asked whether the weekly schedule is final, Kefir answered: "Right now, each wipe cycle lasts seven days. That said, wipe lengths could adjust down the road." This is Early Access, so check the Steam news feed every week. A longer or shorter cycle would move every date on this page.
How should you plan around the Federal Raid?
The wipe is fixed, so the question is what to do with each stage of the week. A plan built only on Kefir's published rules:
Days 1 to 2: get onto a fresh server early. Kefir's launch patch made new servers friendlier to new players. "When a fresh server opens, patrol cops will only have access to pistols. Better gear will unlock as the server gets older." Tier 1 settlements and land rentals also now cost documents instead of cash. Our read: those rules make the first evenings of a server a good time to claim land and rob, before cop gear unlocks. Kefir does not state that outright.
Days 2 to 5: launder as you go. Open a bank account at the Looty Bay Bank as a Civilian, then run cash through the Laundering Desk at your base (Help Center). Laundering takes time. Kefir's launch patch "massively increased the amount of cash the laundering desk can hold", so bigger batches now fit. Carried cash can be stolen or confiscated. Laundered money can't, until the wipe.
Days 5 to 7: decide what the cash is for. Cash still on hand at the raid is not simply lost: Kefir converts it into jail time and authority, and more wealth means a longer sentence. Money spent on gear, vehicles, raids and settlement plays pays off this week instead. Kefir has not published how authority is calculated, so weigh the two rather than following a fixed rule.
Wipe day: check the clock. Kefir hasn't published the exact hour for each server. Wrap up big jobs well before the seven-day mark instead of starting a bank job in the last hour.
Can you switch servers or join a friend after a wipe?
Yes. Parties hold up to three players (Kefir's First Look at Looty Bay dev post on Steam news), and clans hold up to 100. Kefir's FAQ notes that clans "only exist on the player's chosen server" for now, and that you can switch clans during a wipe cycle.
If a party invite fails because your friend is on another server, the Help Center fix runs through the prison. "Open the global map, select the Prison location, and click 'Surrender to Feds'. Once inside, switch to your friend's server in the prison and resend the party invite." A fresh server after a wipe is a good moment to regroup your party.
Did I lose my progress or was it the wipe?
If you log in and your base, guns and money are gone, check the date before contacting support. Kefir's lost-progress article says: "First, check if a wipe has occurred and make sure you are logged into the correct Steam account." If your server has run seven days, the Federal Raid explains it. If not, send support your UID, player name and the approximate time of the loss.

FAQ
When is the ROB RUN wipe? Each server wipes seven days after it opens. The launch servers that opened on November 4, 2026 at 5 PM UTC reach their first Federal Raid around November 11 at 5 PM UTC. Servers that opened later wipe on their own seven-day clock.
Does banked money survive the ROB RUN wipe? No. Laundered money in the Looty Bay Bank is safe from theft "until the next wipe", and then the Federal Raid wipes all cash, banked money included.
What carries over after the Federal Raid? Cosmetics, player name, tutorial progress, settings and accumulated jail time. Plots, bases, weapons and cash are wiped and converted into jail time and authority.
Is there one global wipe day in ROB RUN? No. Kefir opens at least one fresh server per day in EU (5 PM UTC) and East US (8 PM ET), and each server wipes seven days after its own opening.
Will the ROB RUN wipe always be seven days? Not necessarily. Kefir said that "right now, each wipe cycle lasts seven days" and that wipe lengths "could adjust down the road". Check the Steam news feed during Early Access.
Why did my ROB RUN base disappear? Most likely the Federal Raid reached your server. Check whether seven days have passed since it opened and that you're on the right Steam account before you contact support.
