ROB RUN Items Guide: Lockpicks, Fuses and Healing

What items are in ROB RUN?

Five kinds of gear carry most of the game. Healing items put health back during a fight. Lockpicks open car trunks and some locked doors. Fuses go into the security system of a base and make it slower to break. An in-game item called the USB hacking tool hacks certain objects inside buildings. Bags decide how much loot leaves a job with you.

Most of this gear sits behind an unlock: you research a blueprint, then pay again for the item. Prices on this page are the figures players quote as of November 13, 2026, and Early Access patches can move them.

Other items players mention:

How do you heal in ROB RUN?

Health comes back three ways: carried items, a cabinet at your base, and, for police, the patrol car. One video guide gives numbers for some carried items.

Healing item	Health restored	Price	Sources
Painkillers	25	$500 each	One video guide
Upgraded painkillers	Not given	$1,000	Same video guide
Purple injector	40	Not given	Same video guide
Purple painkillers, IFAK, med kit, bandages	Not given	Not given	Several players

Sources split on whether you can simply buy them. The video guide finds painkillers under the second option of the Black Market. Another player, early after launch, found none for sale and had to search medical stores around the city. Both point to those stores when the market comes up empty.

The video guide heals with the use button, and purple painkillers also sit on the number four key. A second player could only heal from the inventory menu until a better pouch opened quick use and quick binds.

Other sources of health:

• A first aid cabinet at the base heals you and sets a respawn point. One report puts it at $15,000 and says it needs a garage or house.
• One guide notes that a Civilian regenerates health without any item. If a Civilian dies in the city, Kefir’s support center says the bag and everything worn stay with the player.
• Two players say police can top up health items, ammo and armor plates from the trunk of the cop car, and use armor kits and healing items inside it.

What does a lockpick do?

Lockpicks are cheap: two players put one at $99. Their main job is car trunks. The support center run by Kefir (Kefir Games) says Black Market lockpicks open trunks belonging to other players, cop cars included, so nothing parked is safe storage. The guide to ROB RUN keys covers where to keep keys instead.

Two creators also picked doors, one through the back door of a house and one into a store that held a free gun.

Count on picks running out. One player bought a single lockpick before a run, used it on the first store and had none left at the next, where the alarm had to be switched off first.

What do fuses do in ROB RUN?

Per Kefir, a Security System full of fuses costs raiders much more time and gear to break, and defense modules alert your allies as soon as a raid begins. Players add that every building on a property, the fence too, has its own fuse box with a fixed number of slots, and each fuse means a raider needs more decoders. The decoder guide shows the attacker’s side, and the ROB RUN base defense guide covers doors, gates and alarms.

Tier	Price	Protection	Sources
Green	20k each	Not stated	One forum guide
Purple	100k each	3 times green; rated 3	One forum guide
Gold (orange in one guide)	Trade: a fuse plus $250,000	Rated 5	Three sources

Two sources agree on three tiers and say the tier changes how many decoders an attacker needs. The top tier’s name is not settled: one guide calls it orange, while three other sources, and our other guides, call it gold.

Slot counts differ too. One player counted eight in a teammate’s house fuse box while filling it with gold fuses. Our base defense page quotes another player with 27 in a house. Neither gives the level of the house.

A single guide adds that fuses can be moved between boxes at any time, so the strongest ones can follow your loot.

How do you get gold fuses?

Gold fuses are not bought off a shelf. Three sources describe one trade: bring an electric fuse and $250,000 in cash to the Goods for Goods door at Lenny’s Motel and swap them for a golden electric fuse.

All three match on the cash. They differ on the fuse you hand over: a regular electric fuse in one account, a purple fuse in another, and just “one electric fuse” in the third.

Green and purple fuses take the usual route. Players report that you unlock them in the research tree and then buy them. Since each gold fuse costs an ordinary one, keep a spare before heading to Lenny’s.

What is the USB hacking tool?

The USB tool is in-game gear, unrelated to any outside software. Two players describe it hacking objects such as the computer in the back room of the gun store, and say it can be saved to trade for the bank drill. One of them found it in a cabinet in an electronics store.

A single guide says the Gear section of the Black Market sells it once you live in a level two settlement, and the Shipments route needs a tech tree unlock first. One streamer reported a single charge on each USB tool.

Which bags can you carry?

Players name four bags: a sports bag, a small backpack with about eight slots, a big backpack, and a purple bag that needs rental level 2.

What sits in the bag is at risk. The support center says a Criminal who dies in Looty Bay loses the inventory, though surrendering keeps equipped gear, and a death in the desert always costs all loot.

At logoff the risk flips to your base. Several players advise moving keys, gold items and other valuables into your inventory or bag before quitting, so an offline raid cannot take them.

Armor is graded by plates; one report has a player moving up to two-plate body armor and a level two plate carrier.

Where do you buy items?

The Black Market is the main shop, reached through Lenny or the laptop at your base.

Most goods need an unlock first. You unlock them in Shipments (press H or use the side menu anywhere on the map); Kefir notes that some unlocks ask for a base in a higher-level settlement and others for time served in jail. The ROB RUN shipments guide walks through the tree.

Two sources add that unlocking a blueprint and buying the item are separate payments, and a researched item costs less on the Black Market than from traders. On November 4 Kefir made certain Tier 2 and Tier 3 settlement items dearer both to unlock and to buy.

One source shows the buying controls: right-click and pick Buy to set a quantity, or double left-click to buy the full amount.
