ROB RUN Map: Looty Bay, Districts and Icons

How does the ROB RUN map work?

The map has two layers. The world map is a menu of places to load into, and Looty Bay is the city where most robbing and selling happens; Kefir (Kefir Games) sets the whole game on its streets.

Every run starts the same way. Two players report spawning at Lenny’s Motel next to a car, and several players describe the next part: drive clear of the motel grounds and the world map opens, asking where to go. Areas load one at a time, and those same two accounts add that returning to an area you left takes another pass through the world map and a fresh load.

Place	What you do there
Lenny’s Motel	Spawn and take your car
World map	Check your state, pick an area
Desert settlements	Plots, bases and raids
Looty Bay	Rob, sell, join the police

The bigger design comes from a September 24 developer post. All bases on a server share one global map, cut into districts that are built from settlements, and a district’s level controls which features and items it has. It predates launch, so read it as the plan, not a promise.

What is on the world map?

Two details tell you where you stand. One is your state, the name ROB RUN uses for a server. Several players say its name and number appear right on the map; a reported example reads EU 05848.

The other is a prison icon in the top left corner. You can drive there at any time and surrender to the feds, and several players say that is how people move to another server.

Outside the city lies the desert, which Kefir’s September 24 post called lawless: any player there may try to kill you, and neighbors may try to break into your base.

An October 28 developer post then stacked a five-rung power ladder on the map:

1. Hobo
2. Settlement Resident
3. Settlement Owner
4. District Owner, which needs a clan
5. Shadow Governor, who leads whichever clan controls Highlands, the district in the middle

The November 4 patch notes have since moved Tier 1 rent to documents, so the ladder is already shifting.

How do districts and settlements work?

Districts come in three tiers, numbered 1, 2 and 3, which players also call level or district 1 to 3. Players report that new characters begin in a level 1 district with two options: buy a settlement outright, or rent a plot in one where residents already live. Our land plot title guide covers the paperwork.

On the global map, each settlement is drawn as a tiny hexagon, and inside it you move into a square nobody holds.

Kefir’s September 24 post set one hard rule. You can rent only in a settlement that you or another player owns, and a district with no owner has no land to claim. Space can run out, too: one player found every district on one server owned within about three days, many of them by clans.

The same post said special structures give nearby settlements extra defense, business bonuses or discounts, and some settlements sit close to several.

Selling was planned into districts too. According to that September post, residents get a hub at the center of each district, where loot can fetch far more than in Looty Bay at greater risk. The settlement guide covers owning one.

Smaller map details from player posts

These tips come from scattered posts rather than Kefir, and none has been repeated widely. The Source column says how many reports back each one.

Detail	Source
Open the map from an uncrowded district to spot empty lots	Two reports
Settlement icons count houses that already have owners	Single report
Living beside certain objects gives you their benefit	Single report
Checkpoint and bunker spots show on the settlement map	Two reports
Bunker and checkpoint plots suit a base	Single tip
Each district has its own sales center	Single report
Clicking any tile lets you visit any property	Two reports

Treat the single-report rows as leads to check on your own server, not rules.

What do the map icons mean in Looty Bay?

Two icons matter most in the city.

Icon	What it marks
Dollar sign	Fence van that buys valuables
Box	Smuggler who takes cargo

The support center points sellers to a fence at a van with a dollar sign on the Looty Bay map, with the Sales Center as the other option. Take the cash off the counter the moment a deal closes, or it can be stolen or confiscated. Players report the same dollar sign for the fence, and two others point to the box icon as the place cargo sells, at a vendor known among players as the smuggler. Deal screens and prices are in the sell loot guide.

Where are the exits out of Looty Bay?

Plan the way out before the robbery. Criminal status begins when you put on a mask and only clears once you leave the city. Until then, the support center says, police and other Criminals can attack you, and dying costs you your bag.

Several players say you leave by driving across one of the bridges at the edge of the map. Police on your tail can shut a bridge, and players describe barricades, bollards and roadblocks rising at the exits. Two players say there is more than one exit: a player guide advises turning around for the other extract when the first is blocked, and another player said the city has only two entrances.

As of November 11, 2026, our sources do not say which bridge sits where, so this page names none.

What landmarks are in Looty Bay?

Three landmarks come up often.

• The hotel. Several players say a hotel has a jewelry store on its first floor, and an in-game task names it the Grand Hotel.
• The cottages. A cluster of houses up in the hills draws early looters hunting for keys, according to two reports.
• The police station. This is where you sign up as a cop. Kefir’s support center says cops enlist there when slots are open and get standard gear and a patrol vehicle. Several players add that the station has an armory, and that criminals holding a key can rob it.
• The beach. One player mentions a selling spot at the beach. Nobody else in our sources confirms it.

For how these spots compare as targets, see our list of the best places to rob.

Who can see you on the map?

Two players say that once you are wanted, every cop gets your position as a marker. It also works in reverse, by a separate pair of accounts: a radio or police scanner taken off a dead cop puts the police on your map.

Your own group is the other audience. A lone report says members of your party see exactly where you live on the map, so pick your group with care.

Who else is in Looty Bay with you is disputed. Players in several threads say the city you load into can hold people from states other than your own. One commenter replied that it was a single story that did not match their experience, and no Kefir statement covers it.
