Build a Heist Streak During One City Visit
Notoriety rewards keeping a robbery run going, rather than simply carrying a large wallet. In ROB RUN, you increase Notoriety by building a heist streak during a single visit to the city. A higher level improves fence deals and unlocks more perks, giving successful repeat heists a progression benefit beyond the goods you collect.
The important condition in Kefir's explanation is the single city visit. Plan a sequence of attempts within that visit if raising the level is your objective. The official material does not give points per robbery, level thresholds, a maximum level or a list of perk effects, so there is no supported numerical leveling chart to follow here.
For the mechanic itself, see Kefir's official Notoriety explanation.
Account for the Solo and Duo Starting Bonus
Solo players and duos begin with higher Notoriety to help them compete against full criminal crews and police squads. That is a starting advantage for smaller groups, distinct from the increases earned by continuing a heist streak.
It does not establish a guaranteed advantage in every fight. The help text does not attach a specific damage multiplier or cash percentage to the bonus. Treat the confirmed rewards as better fence deals and access to additional perks, without assuming an exact payout or combat statistic.
If you are deciding between a solo run and a group run, remember the different practical demands. Teammates can divide entry, loot hauling and cover; a smaller group has fewer people to share those jobs even when it starts with more Notoriety.
Weigh the Next Heist Against the Loot Already Carried
To commit robberies in Looty Bay, put on a mask. Before doing so, scout the building and your route out; during the heist, keep staff at gunpoint to prevent an alarm. Police and other Criminals can attack you, and death costs the contents of your bag.
That makes extending a streak a risk decision. Higher Notoriety can improve your selling terms, but those terms do not help if you lose the carried valuables before reaching a fence. Reconsider your exit route and your team's task coverage before choosing another target.
When you sell, use the fence at the dollar-marked van in Looty Bay or the Sales Center and collect the cash from the counter immediately. Leaving the city clears Criminal status; the help page does not provide a complete separate explanation of Notoriety persistence, so do not assume that rule alone describes every reset condition for the level.
