ROB RUN Base Defense: How to Stop Raids

How do you protect your base in ROB RUN?

Your plot is not a safe zone. Several players say anyone can walk onto it, hack your security and break into the house; settlements are full PvP and full loot, residents included.

Kefir (Kefir Games) points to fuses first: fitted to your Security System, they cost an attacker much more time and many more resources. When someone attacks, your allies hear about it through the defense modules. In an October 16 post written before launch, Kefir listed four forms of defense:

• defensive modules;
• raid alerts for you and your allies;
• blending in, so your base looks like a poor use of rare breaching tools;
• clan allies, which Kefir ranked above every module at keeping raiders off.

The October 2 FAQ, also from before launch, noted that breach decoders do not sit on a shop shelf, so raiders have to choose targets. A base with shut doors and full fuse boxes is a worse pick than the open one next door.

The cheapest habit matters most: shut the house door and the fence gate every time you leave, because an open door lets someone walk straight in. Two players also warn that a base with no fuses is easy to raid while you are offline, so fuses belong in early.

How do fuses and security systems work?

Several players describe separate security systems on the fence, the house door and other buildings, and raiders have to break each one to get in. Every fuse you put in a system’s fuse box raises that structure’s defense level, so raiders need more decoders.

Two players put an electric fuse at 20,000 each, as of November 11, 2026. Fuses come in green, purple and gold, and several players fill every building with the highest tier they can get. One player matches each color to a stage of the base:

Fuse color	One player links it to
Green	Level 1 house
Purple	Tier 2 plot
Gold	Tier 3 house

The defense numbers players quote do not agree. One player saw base security at five by default, plus one for each fuse. A second player’s house figures run higher: 15 protection out of the box, 27 slots for fuses, and 45 once 10 purple ones go in. Another showed a fence at four defense levels, needing four decoders, a house at about 10, and about 20 decoders for the whole base.

One player adds that fuses never expire and carry over as you upgrade.

Do fences and gates keep raiders out?

Fences slow raiders down; they do not stop them. Several players say raiders have got past fences, gates and even concrete walls, then still had to decode the security inside. Players also disagree about whether a T3 fence holds any better. The fuses on the house decide the raid.

Commenters in one discussion thread say to fill the fuse slots on the house, fence and other buildings before you spend on a wall. A raider past the fence still faces the house fuses, and each extra fuse means another decoder. The decoder guide shows that trade from the attacker’s side.

The fence still helps. Players recommend the mesh fence early, from the base Construction menu. A closed gate also traps raiders: once the owner shuts it, those inside cannot leave unless they decode it too.

Where should you build to stay safer?

In a September 24 post, before launch, Kefir said special structures give surrounding settlements extra defense, business bonuses or discounts, and that some settlements sit near several of them. One player says living next to one of these special objects gives you its benefit, and advises putting your house on a bunker or checkpoint.

A single player guide suggests district one, a tile close to one of the bigger tiles, and a plot near an exit for quick trips home and back to the main map.

If a server is too hard, one player suggests waiting for a new one and starting there, where fewer people will break in. Another found every district on a 3-day-old server already held by clans.

The October 16 post also said you can move the whole base and everything in it at any time, for example to join friends or leave hostile neighbors.

What stays safe if raiders get in?

Cash is the weak point. Per the support center, raiders can steal it and it can be confiscated; banked, nobody can steal it before the wipe. Several players agree that laundered money in your bank account cannot be lost in a raid. Kefir’s October 2 FAQ said the same and added that any structure left standing can be rebuilt. Launder before logging off and a raid costs time, not savings; see the money guide.

What	If raiders get in
Cash at the base	Can be stolen
Banked money	Safe until the wipe
Structures left standing	Can be rebuilt
Settlement ownership	Cannot be seized before wipe

Erasing a base is rare by design: the same FAQ tied it to an extremely rare item you can only loot, so nobody can repeat it at will. An October 28 developer post, a week ahead of the November 4 launch, said no one can seize your settlement before the wipe.

For items, one player advises moving expensive ones into your inventory before you log out. The stash guide covers where cash and items are safest.

What should you do during and after a raid?

Repair ends a raid. Kefir says owners can repair a Security System after a decoder opens it, which locks the raider back out. The catch: one player says the owner had to wait out the 6 min raid before making repairs, and the same group came back for a second and a third round. The raid guide shows the attacker’s side.

Being online does not save you. Two players say owners raided while online had raiders camp the base respawn point and kill them repeatedly: 10 minutes in one report, 6 in another.

Alarm reports point both ways. In one player’s experience, the alarm sends a notice as soon as anyone tampers with the base. Another says the alarm never went off when about 10 people got past the gate and hauled loot out.

Friends help. Two players say raiders have been confronted by the owner’s friends or teammates who live in the base, and Kefir’s list ranks clan allies above any module.

Moving is the last option. Several players have moved to escape raiders, one of them while the raiders were still inside, and one suggests using the alarm notification to move instead of defending. Two players say the whole base goes to the new settlement with everything in it; one put the cost at around $100,000, as of November 11, 2026. To move, one player buys a second plot 1 under Construction (computer or Lenny’s bar), then buys the new spot; house and items come along.
