Keeping your money safe in ROB RUN is just as important as earning it. Cash collected from robberies can be stolen or confiscated, making the banking system essential for protecting your profits. However, depositing dirty cash involves more than simply visiting the bank.
How to Deposit Cash in ROB RUN
To deposit dirty cash in ROB RUN, you need to open an account at Looty Bay Bank and process your earnings through a Laundering Desk at your base. Once the laundering process is complete, your money becomes protected bank funds that other players cannot steal.
Here's how the process works:
- Travel to Looty Bay Bank while playing as a Civilian.
- Open a bank account if you haven't already.
- Return to your base, where you'll need access to a Laundering Desk.
- Use the Laundering Desk to process your dirty cash.
- Allow the laundering process to finish so your earnings become protected bank funds.
Opening a bank account alone doesn't complete the laundering process. Your base's Laundering Desk handles that part, making it an important facility once you're regularly earning money through criminal activities.
The exact menu interaction for placing cash into the Laundering Desk isn't established, but the banking and laundering requirements above are confirmed.
How Does the Laundering Desk Work in ROB RUN?
The Laundering Desk converts dirty cash into protected bank funds, although processing takes time rather than completing instantly. You'll need a base to access this system, which means players still living at Lenny's Motel won't have the same laundering setup available.
If you haven't established a base yet, Lenny offers a separate service for storing cash. This can be useful while you're saving toward your first property, but it's different from laundering money into your bank account.
I recommend establishing access to a Laundering Desk once you begin earning larger amounts through robberies or selling stolen goods. It gives you a way to protect your profits instead of continually carrying valuable cash around Looty Bay.
Is Deposited Cash Safe in ROB RUN?
Money that has successfully completed laundering and entered your bank account cannot be stolen by other players. You can also withdraw your funds through ATMs when you need money for equipment, property, or other purchases.
However, banked money isn't permanent. ROB RUN's Federal Raid resets occur on a seven-day server cycle, removing accumulated cash even when it has been safely deposited.
For that reason, banking is best understood as protection against other players during the current server cycle, not a way to preserve your wealth through wipes. If you're saving for an expensive purchase, laundering your earnings is one of the most useful ways to prevent an unexpected robbery or death from wiping out your progress.
