Kefir plans to open fresh ROB RUN servers at 17:00 UTC in EU and 8 PM Eastern in East US, with more added as needed. Those are opening times. The Federal Raid is a separate seven-day wipe cycle. To estimate your next wipe, check the age of your own server.
TL;DR
- EU’s scheduled opening is 17:00 UTC. East US opens at 8 PM New York time, or 00:00–01:00 UTC the next day.
- Extra servers can open at any hour. Check your server’s lifetime to estimate how long you have left.
- The Federal Raid resets plots, bases, weapons and cash. Cosmetics, player name, tutorial progress, settings and accumulated jail time carry over.
- To join a friend on another server, surrender to the Feds, switch servers from Prison, then resend the party invite.
Hourly Crew
Book teammates by the hour for co-op runs on the ROB RUN server you choose.
When New ROB RUN Servers Open
In its 4 November server schedule, Kefir listed EU and East US and planned at least one new server per region each day. Extra servers can start automatically outside these times. Use the table for the scheduled openings. Kefir can adjust the plan based on load.
| Region | Scheduled opening | UTC | Local examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| EU | 17:00 UTC | 17:00 same day | London 17:00 GMT / 18:00 BST · Berlin 18:00 CET / 19:00 CEST |
| East US | 20:00 New York time | 01:00 next day in EST / 00:00 next day in EDT | New York 20:00 · Chicago 19:00 · Los Angeles 17:00 |
Europe and the US change their clocks on different dates. For example, when New York switches to daylight time on 14 March 2027, the 8 PM opening lands at 01:00 in Berlin the next morning. From the evening of 28 March, after Berlin also switches, it lands at 02:00 there again.
How Long a Server Lasts: the Seven-Day Wipe
Kefir’s official FAQ sets each wipe cycle at seven days and says the length can change. To estimate the time left on your server, subtract its displayed age from seven days. For example, 5 days of server lifetime means roughly 2 days left. Players report seeing Server Lifetime above the Run button in the main menu. It shows elapsed time. Kefir has not published an exact raid hour for individual servers.
Based on Kefir’s Federal Raid rules:
| Reset at the Federal Raid | Carried over |
|---|---|
| Plots, bases, weapons and cash | Cosmetics, player name, tutorial progress, settings and accumulated jail time |
Kefir says wiped assets convert into jail time and Authority. The official FAQ says more wealth means a longer sentence. Kefir has given no conversion formula. For ways to earn and use cash within one cycle, see the ROB RUN money guide.
What Changes on a Fresh Server
Kefir’s launch changes tie police gear to server age. Patrol cops start with pistols and gain access to better gear as the server ages. Kefir has given no unlock timetable. For players, the launch update lowered the price of the basic pistol and added starter weapon spawns. Tier 1 settlements and land rentals switched from cash to documents.
Choosing a Region and Joining Friends
Agree on the region and server with your group before investing in a base. Kefir’s FAQ says clans are currently tied to their server.
- Open the global map and select Prison.
- Choose Surrender to Feds.
- Inside Prison, switch to your friend’s server and send the party invite again.
The Help Center instructions do not specify what happens to cash or items when you surrender to switch. Kefir’s 13 November FAQ says simpler server selection is planned. It also says expansion to regions such as Asia or Oceania is unavailable until at least the end of 2026, with no launch date.
What to Check if You Lose Progress
If your server disappears or progress suddenly rolls back, compare its age with the wipe cycle before assuming the Federal Raid happened. Kefir has reported crash-related rollbacks. If the loss is unexpected, confirm you are on the right Steam account and send your player name, UID and approximate time of the loss to ROB RUN Support.
