Scout the Building Before Putting on Your Mask

A successful robbery starts before your character becomes a Criminal. For players searching ROB RUN how to rob Looty Bay, the official sequence is to scout a building and escape route, put on a mask, control the staff during the robbery and get the valuables out. Planning the exit matters because a dead Criminal loses inventory in the city.

Use the opportunity to look around before committing to the heist. Identify the building you intend to enter and where you expect to leave afterward. This is the preparation Kefir recommends; the available instructions do not provide a guaranteed fastest building, a loot-value ranking or a fixed alarm timer.

Mask Up and Manage the Staff

Putting on your mask enables robberies in Looty Bay and gives you Criminal status. Police and other Criminals can attack you, so the mask is a role commitment with consequences, not simply a cosmetic choice for the robbery.

During the heist, keep the building's staff at gunpoint so they do not trigger the alarm. Do not treat entering the building as the end of the preparation: staff control is a separate responsibility while you collect valuables.

The official explanation describes the mechanic without specifying an input key or a universal button sequence. Follow the game's actual interaction prompts rather than assuming a control borrowed from another game.

Divide the Work if You Have a Crew

Kefir recommends separating three jobs when playing with teammates:

  • Breaking into the target.
  • Moving the loot.
  • Providing cover.

Discuss those jobs before masking up so the whole team does not focus on the same task. A solo player instead needs to account for all three demands when selecting a target and deciding how far to push the attempt.

Heist streaks during the same visit raise Notoriety. Higher Notoriety brings better fence deals and additional perks, while solos and duos begin with an elevated level. That offers an incentive to keep going, but it does not prevent police or rivals from ending the run.

Turn the Valuables Into Earnings or Storage

After collecting valuables, decide whether to sell them or take them to your base. To sell, look for the dollar-marked van on the map in Looty Bay or the Sales Center and trade with the fence there. Pick up the cash from the counter promptly: leaving it there exposes it to theft or confiscation.

If you want to keep stolen goods instead, use your base. Lenny's storage is for cash, not those goods, and bases remain vulnerable to other players' raids.

Leaving Looty Bay clears Criminal status. On your next visit, you can choose your role again. The official heist page does not describe removing the mask or waiting out a timer as an alternative reset method.

Know When the Run Is at Risk

As a Criminal in Looty Bay, dying costs your inventory. Surrendering to police can preserve equipped gear, but that is a different outcome from successfully escaping with everything in your bag.

A useful checkpoint before continuing is to reconsider the valuables already carried, your exit plan and whether the team's responsibilities are still covered. That is a risk decision for the current run, rather than a promise that a larger streak will always pay off.
