ROB RUN wipe schedule: what a Federal Raid resets

ROB RUN is a free-to-play, early-access online crime sandbox from Kefir where every cop and every criminal is a real player on a server that wipes on a weekly cycle. The wipe is the point of the design: it is what lets a new player become the boss of a server in seven days, and what takes it all away again.

What the Federal Raid actually is

“Federal Raid” is Kefir’s own name for the end-of-cycle reset. It is not a scripted event you can fight off, and it is not a boss. It is the scheduled end of a server’s week, presented in-fiction as a federal crackdown.

Kefir’s FAQ and launch posts. If a guide claims your level or clan survives, ask it for a source.

Why seven days, and why it is per server

Kefir’s store copy spells out the intent: “In just one week, you can go from being a regular thug to the boss of the server’s largest organization. And then start over.” A per-server clock is what makes that promise workable — servers that opened on different days end their cycles on different days, so the map never resets all at once.

In practice this means the question “when does ROB RUN wipe?” has no single answer. The correct question is “when did my server open?”. Add seven days to that and you have your cycle end.

Wipe day: what to do in the last hours

1. Spend cash, do not bank it Cash does not survive. Convert it into things you can use during the final push — gear, ammunition, vehicles, consumables — or into progress you can actually feel before the reset.
2. Move value out of the base Bases reset. If you have been stockpiling, the last day is when stockpiles stop being savings and start being somebody else’s loot.
3. Cash in authority and jail time Kefir states the raid converts holdings into jail time and authority, and that accumulated jail time carries over. Treat the final hours as a settlement, not a shutdown.
4. Screenshot what you want to remember The scoreboard resets. Your screenshots do not.
5. Pick your next server before the old one dies Fresh servers open daily at 5 PM UTC (EU) and 8 PM ET (East US). Arriving at minute one on a fresh server is a completely different game from arriving on day five.

Wipe myths worth killing

• “The first wipe is 11 November at 17:00 UTC.” That is arithmetic from the launch hour plus seven days. Kefir has published no such timestamp. It may turn out to be right; it is still not a confirmed fact.
• “Wipes happen at the same time for everyone.” No. The cycle is per server.
• “Your clan survives.” Clans are per-server and bases reset. Assume you are rebuilding the organisation, not just the walls.
• “Wipe means a fresh character.” Cosmetics, name, tutorial progress and settings persist.
