Our advice
- Treat tattoos as the slow, long-term part of your look. They hang on jail time, and that total is one of the few things the wipe leaves alone, so nothing you serve is wasted.
- You do not need the store to play well. Paid items only change how you look, and a bought car skin still leaves you unlocking and buying the car itself in the game.
ROB RUN Customization: Looks, Clothes and Tattoos, step by step
-
The main menu, with Customization between Authority and Settings. In-game screenshot from Steam Community / BooMBooBS Open Customization from the menu
On the main menu, Customization sits between Authority and Settings. A player guide then splits it into Character for hair and face and Cloth for outfits.

Inside the Character section of Customization, the Cloth option lists outfits, but the same guide notes you can only switch to pieces you have already unlocked. Masks and bags sit in the same screen.

A tattoo card from the Trust No One set, with the jail time the next one needs. In-game screenshot from Steam Community / Nico84 Serve jail time to unlock more tattoos
Several players tie tattoos to time served in prison. In one report the next tattoo was listed at five years, and the card shows how much jail time each step still needs.
Where people get stuck
An outfit shows in the list but will not equip
The player guide we rely on says the Cloth option displays more pieces than you own. Only unlocked clothes can be switched on, so the rest stay greyed out for now.
A store car skin did not give you a car
The skin is a look, not the vehicle. Per a single player, you still unlock the car in the progression tree and then pay for it with in-game money.
A friend in your party cannot change clothes at your house
A lone report says party members get your storage on your property but not your wardrobe, computer or workbench, so plan on those staying yours alone.
What can you customize in ROB RUN?
Most of your look is open to change, but not every option is free to pick at the start. Hair, facial hair and the gear slots share one editor, clothes need unlocking before you can wear them, and tattoos are earned in prison rather than chosen from a list. Here is how the player sources we have line up, as of November 11, 2026.
| Category | Where you change it | What we know |
|---|---|---|
| Hairstyle and hair color | Customization, then Character | Several styles, color palettes |
| Facial hair | Customization, then Character | Its own set of choices |
| Clothes | Cloth option in Customization | Unlocked pieces only |
| Masks, bags, keychains | Slots beside clothing | Named in a player guide |
| Car color and skin | Customize menu | Two reports |
| Tattoos | Prison | Unlocked by jail time |
A single player guide covers the hair, face, clothing and slot screens, so read those rows as one account. The car and tattoo rows rest on more than one player. Early Access patches can rearrange menus, so your screens may not match the screenshots here.
How do you change your character’s look?
Your first pass happens before the world loads: one player says the game asks you to create a character on first login. The editor stays available after that. A player guide gives the route as the menu, then Customization, then Character, and the main menu screenshot above shows Customization sitting between Authority and Settings.
The Character screen holds a grid of hairstyles with hair color choices beside it, plus a separate row of facial hair options. In the screenshot for this section, two color palettes and a Confirm button sit next to a bearded character.
Nothing here seems locked in for good. In one session report, the character went from female to male midway, and the car got a new skin in the same sitting. Car paint is just as flexible. Two players changed how their vehicle looks, and for one of them the new color only showed once the car next spawned at the base. If a color change seems to do nothing, check the car after its next spawn.
How do you change clothes?
Clothes work differently from hair, because the list is longer than your closet. The player guide behind our menu rows shows the Cloth option displaying a range of outfits, yet only unlocked pieces can be switched on. It also notes extra slots next to clothing for masks, bags and keychains. We found no source that explains how each clothing piece is unlocked, so we do not list methods.
Wardrobe, party access and prison clothes
Three more clothing details rest on thin sourcing, so we keep them together here with the source for each:
| Detail | What was reported | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Wardrobe | Comes with a house as a base item, beside the computer and workbench; contents unknown | Two reports |
| Party access | Visiting party members can open your storage, but not your wardrobe, computer or workbench | Single report |
| Prison outfit | An in-game line warns that a stay inside swaps street clothes for an orange jumpsuit | Single report |
We have no source on what you wear after release, so do not assume either way. The wardrobe also goes when the house does, which the wipe section below covers.
How do you get more tattoos?
You cannot pick a tattoo the way you pick a haircut. Several players say tattoos come out of prison: as your jail time, which the game also calls authority, grows, more rewards open up, and tattoos are among them. Read the ROB RUN prison guide to see how arrests and sentences work before you plan around this.
The finer details come from a single account of the jail screens:
| Screen | What it showed | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Jail time | A tattoo marked for five years served | Single report |
| Surrender | Giving up costs your possessions, but the authority gained turns into more tattoos | Same report |
Jail time does more than add ink. The support center says some Shipments goods also need jail time to unlock, so a sentence pays off twice. It also keeps your accumulated jail time through the wipe, which means progress toward the next tattoo is not thrown away each week.
Can you change your name?
None of the official sources we work from describe a rename option. Kefir (Kefir Games) does list your player name among the things the weekly wipe leaves alone, so at least your name will not reset when everything else does.
For an actual change, the only lead is a single forum answer. When another player asked how to rename, the reply was to visit the tattoo artist inside the jail. Nobody else backs this up, and we found no cost or steps for it. If a new name matters to you, look for that tattoo artist the next time you serve a sentence, and choose your first name with care in the meantime.
What do paid cosmetics include?
Spending money changes how you look, not how strong you are. The Steam page lists in-game purchases. Kefir says B-Coins are for cosmetic items only, and that spending them leaves stats, balance and progression untouched. One player describes the store as cosmetics-only right now, which fits. A paid premium package comes up in two reports, and we found no reliable list of what it holds.
Vehicle looks need the most care. According to one player, a car look bought in the store is only a skin. Getting the car itself still means unlocking it in the progression tree and paying for it with in-game money, which the guide on where to buy a car in ROB RUN walks through.
If a purchase never shows up, Kefir’s own advice is to restart first and look through your in-game mail. Your receipt goes to support as the last step, after those two checks come up empty. Be careful with sites that promise free B-Coins. Kefir’s rules ban real-money trading and account sales, and our ROB RUN codes page explains that no redeem code appears anywhere in Kefir’s official channels. For how the currency itself works, see our ROB RUN B-Coins guide.
What happens to your look at the wipe?
The weekly Federal Raid is hard on property and easy on appearance. Every seven days your cash, weapons, bases and plots disappear and turn into jail time and authority. On the kept side, the support center names your cosmetics and player name, along with settings, tutorial progress and the jail time you have built up.
Cosmetics sit on the kept list, so the look you have built should not need rebuilding each week, and the jail time behind the next tattoo keeps adding up. Your house does not survive the wipe, though, and with it go the base items. The ROB RUN wipe guide covers the full timing and what else resets.
ROB RUN Customization: Looks, Clothes and Tattoos: FAQ
What can you customize in ROB RUN?
Hairstyle and hair color, facial hair, clothes, and extra slots for masks, bags and keychains. A pair of players also gave their cars a new color or skin. Tattoos are earned with jail time rather than picked from a list.
How do you get more tattoos in ROB RUN?
Build up jail time. Several players say authority from prison sentences opens new tattoos, and in one report a tattoo was waiting at five years. Your accumulated jail time is kept through the weekly wipe.
Can you change your name in ROB RUN?
We found no official rename steps. A single forum reply sends you to the tattoo artist in the jail, and nobody else confirms it. Your current name does survive the wipe, Kefir's support center says.
Do cosmetics carry over after the wipe in ROB RUN?
Yes. Your name, cosmetics, settings, tutorial progress and built-up jail time stay. Cash, weapons, bases and plots are what the seven-day Federal Raid takes away.
Do B-Coins affect gameplay in ROB RUN?
No. B-Coins are for looks only, per Kefir; spending them leaves stats, balance and progression where they were. A paid car look also does not hand you the car.
Why can't I wear some clothes in ROB RUN?
They are still locked. In one guide, the Cloth option lists outfits you do not own yet, and only the unlocked ones can be put on.
Can friends use your wardrobe in ROB RUN?
Not according to the only report we found. Party members on your property can reach your storage, while the wardrobe, computer and workbench stay limited to you.
