The Lieutenant Badge in ROB RUN gives police officers access to stronger equipment than the standard patrol loadout. There are several ways to obtain one, including a badge exchange that doesn't require purchasing it directly. Here's how to get yours.
How to Get a Lieutenant Badge in ROB RUN
To get a Lieutenant Badge in ROB RUN, collect 15 Sergeant's Badges and exchange them at Lenny's Motel. You can also unlock the badge through research and purchase it directly.
Here's how to complete the exchange:
- Collect 15 Sergeant's Badges through police rewards, purchases, or looting.
- Travel to Lenny's Motel.
- Find the suspicious door on the right side of the motel.
- Access the badge trading area.
- Exchange your 15 Sergeant's Badges for one Lieutenant's Badge.
This is particularly useful if you've accumulated Sergeant's Badges but prefer saving them for better equipment rather than spending each one on a separate police shift.
How to Buy a Lieutenant Badge
You can purchase Lieutenant's Badges after unlocking the relevant research in Larry's Tree.
Open the Documents section and research the Lieutenant's Badge for approximately $200,000. Once unlocked, the badge has a listed purchase price of $40,000 through the appropriate trading system.
Purchasing badges is a convenient option when you have plenty of money but haven't collected enough Sergeant's Badges for an exchange.
Lieutenant's Badges can also appear among police shift rewards and city loot, providing additional opportunities to obtain one without buying it.
How to Use the Lieutenant Badge in ROB RUN
Take your Lieutenant's Badge to the Police Station and use the Select Equipment option to choose the Lieutenant loadout.
The badge is consumed when you select that equipment set. It isn't a permanent rank promotion, and you'll need another Lieutenant's Badge whenever you want to select the same loadout for a future shift.
You can keep unused badges in the Police Station's Badge Stash instead of carrying them in your regular inventory.
I'd save Lieutenant's Badges for shifts where the stronger equipment is genuinely useful. Routine police work can be handled with lower-rank gear, allowing you to preserve your more valuable badges for dangerous encounters.
