The ROB RUN wipe schedule is a rule for planning a server cycle, not a live health indicator. A new-server announcement, maintenance notice and Federal Raid are different events. This page explains what the reset means and how to avoid making decisions around an unverified timestamp.
There is no automatic next-wipe clock on this site. A guessed global countdown would be less useful than checking the server you actually play on and understanding what happens to its assets.
What the Federal Raid resets
The official wipe article names plots, bases, weapons and cash as reset assets. It also says those assets are converted into jail time and authority. That means the reset is part of the progression loop rather than simply an unexpected disappearance of a few possessions.
Keep server-cycle assets separate from account progress when you assess the result. A base that disappears at the scheduled reset is a different support situation from unexplained missing progress halfway through an otherwise normal run.
| Reset category | Practical meaning |
|---|---|
| Plots and bases | Do not assume your land or structure will remain in the next cycle. |
| Weapons | Plan equipment as something you may need to acquire again. |
| Cash | A larger cash total is not a promise of permanent wealth. |
| Bank funds | Laundering protection runs only until the next wipe. |
What carries over
Kefir lists cosmetics, player name, tutorial progress, settings and accumulated jail time as retained progress. Those categories are useful when deciding whether an apparent loss is expected. The list should not be expanded into a promise that every item or membership survives without a separate source.
For example, a retained cosmetic is not evidence that a weapon in storage is also retained. Use the category that describes the thing you actually lost rather than applying one rule to everything attached to a character.
| Retained category | What it helps preserve |
|---|---|
| Cosmetics | Owned visual customization |
| Player name | Character identity |
| Tutorial progress | Completed introduction progress |
| Settings | Your configured preferences |
| Accumulated jail time | The ongoing total described by the official wipe help |
Check your server instead of a global calendar
Use the server information displayed in the game and compare it with official announcements that refer to the same server or region. Record the server identity before trying to interpret a lifetime or timer. Two players saying “my server” may not be talking about the same place.
Do not treat a daily fresh-server announcement as evidence that every existing server resets each day. Equally, a maintenance notice does not establish that a wipe has happened. If an exact time is not published for your server, say that the time is unconfirmed rather than manufacturing one from a forum post.
- Identify the server and region where your character is playing.
- Read the server information and any lifetime or reset information shown in game.
- Match that information to the official notice for the same server.
- If there is a conflict, trust the current game information and seek official clarification.
Distinguish the wipe from other server events
A new server opening creates another place to start; maintenance concerns service work; a connection outage is a failure to reach the service. None of those descriptions alone establishes that your current assets were reset by a Federal Raid.
Kefir’s help links the reset to jail time and authority, but does not publish a complete cash-to-sentence conversion formula in that article. Use the stated mechanic without calculating a sentence from an invented exchange rate.
| Event | What it establishes |
|---|---|
| Fresh server | An opening, not proof that your existing server reset. |
| Maintenance | Work on the service, not automatic asset confiscation. |
| Connection failure | A failed attempt, not proof of a wipe. |
| Federal Raid | The reset described in the official rules. |
Prepare around useful actions, not panic spending
Before the reset, review what your remaining money and equipment can realistically help you accomplish. An unfinished project with no plan to use it is different from an upgrade that supports the rest of your current cycle. Choose an achievable goal instead of buying randomly because a timer feels close.
A sensible preparation list is organizational: know what you own, finish transactions you intend to finish, and understand what is retained. This guide does not promise that selling everything, laundering everything or using a particular storage spot will protect reset assets.
- Check the relevant server information before starting a long activity.
- Separate retained progress from rebuildable inventory.
- Finish a planned sale and collect its payment if that is part of your goal.
- Avoid interpreting a protected bank balance as a permanent one.
- Decide what you want to learn or accomplish in the next cycle.
Changing server is not a shortcut to preserve the run
The official friend-server procedure uses the Prison and Surrender to Feds route. That is not the same as receiving an ordinary party invite or surrendering to a cop. Consider the consequences of ending the run before using it just to investigate a connection problem.
If your real issue is a frozen screen, first work through official notices and server checks or the relevant loading troubleshooting. Resetting your situation does not establish why the original symptom occurred.
If progress disappears unexpectedly
First determine whether a wipe occurred and whether you are using the correct Steam account. Kefir’s lost-progress guidance asks for your UID, player name and an approximate time when the loss occurred if it was unexpected. Those details distinguish a supportable incident from an assumption that every loss is a wipe.
Find your UID through Esc, under your character name, and use the Copy UID button if needed. Send account information only through the official support route. An independent guide website cannot restore game assets or verify a server-side account state.
- Check whether the loss matches the categories reset by a Federal Raid.
- Verify the Steam account used to start the game.
- Collect the UID and a concise description of what is missing.
- Contact Kefir if the event remains inconsistent with the published rules.
Wipe Rules & Schedule FAQ
01Do all servers share one next-wipe countdown?
This site does not assert a universal countdown. Identify your actual server and read its current information rather than applying an unrelated announcement.
02Does laundered money survive a Federal Raid?
No. The official banking help limits protection to the next wipe. Theft protection and reset retention are separate rules.
03Is a daily fresh server the same as a daily wipe?
No. Opening a new server and resetting an existing one describe different events. Read the official notice for the event it actually announces.
04Should I contact support whenever my base disappears?
First check whether a Federal Raid explains the loss. If the loss is unexpected, verify your Steam account and send Kefir the UID and details requested in its lost-progress help.
