ROB RUN Bank Heist Guide: Tools, Barters, Loot and Extraction
Updated · RobrunCodex
Prepare the bank by interaction: barter a full USB Hacking Tool for the main-vault Drill, filled Deposit Box Keys for the gold-vault ID Card, and bring a Mini Drill for smaller safes. Arrange cargo space, cover and exit before starting. The listed bars and cash add to $424,000 at base values; that subtotal does not price all Drill-job cargo or establish the whole payout.
Bank readiness: access is only the first job
The bank has several access interactions. A tool for one lock does not replace the others, and a subtotal of listed items is not the amount you will bring home from the entire job.
- Choose the targets
Separate the main vault, gold-vault interaction, deposit boxes and smaller safes. Match each to its opener below.
- Prepare the barter inputs
A USB tool must reach five points before its Drill exchange. The Deposit Box Keys set needs 60 points for the ID Card barter.
- Assign hauling and cover
For a group, split opening, carrying and cover as jobs. Solo players must still solve all three without assuming a second bag or vehicle appears.
- Commit only with an exit plan
Drill placement announces the job. Deployed devices can be confiscated, and completing an opening does not secure the loot.
Find the Downtown bank and separate banking from robbery
The bank is in Downtown. It also contains an ATM and an employee who opens accounts. These services refuse masked players, so deal with banking before entering Criminal mode. A trip to open an account is a different task from preparing the vault.
Two nearby metal detectors are mapped, but their effects are not established. Use the location below to identify the bank; do not treat every security-looking object as a known alarm mechanic.
Prepare three different access tools
The main Bank Vault uses a Drill; the gold-vault interaction uses an ID Card; smaller safes use a Mini Drill. The available descriptions do not establish whether the two vault names refer to separate rooms or successive locks. Bring the tool for each intended interaction rather than assuming one opens everything.
The motel Suspicious Door supplies the listed barter. A full USB Hacking Tool is exchanged for a Drill, while filled Deposit Box Keys are used for the gold-vault ID Card. Unlock and buy the Mini Drill separately if you intend to open safes.
What each tool actually opens
What you need
| Item | What it does | How you get it | Sells for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drill | The only way into the Bank Vault. Slow and very noisy. | No shop sells it. Barter a full USB Hacking Tool for one. | $32,800 |
| ID Card | Opens the bank's gold vault. | Barter full Deposit Box Keys for it (see below). | $8,200 |
| Mini Drill | Cracks safe locks. It must be in your inventory to open the bank's safes. | Trade Laptop at tier II for $18,000, after you unlock it in Shipments. | $7,200 |
| USB Hacking Tool | Fills up as you hack computers in locked rooms. Needs 5 points. | Trade Laptop at tier II for $50,000, or the Electronics Dealer at three times the price (Citizens only). | $5,000 empty, $200,000 full |
| Deposit Box Keys | Fills up as you crack the bank's deposit boxes. Needs 60 points. | Trade Laptop at tier III for $100,000, after you unlock it in Shipments. | $10,000 empty, $20,000 full |
Watch the Drill installation before the hauling stage
Start the intended bank interaction with its matching tool. In the recording, installing the Drill and covering the entrance are separate jobs. Decide who will handle each before starting; carrying the device does not provide cover or reserve space for the output.
The excerpt does not establish the order of every ID Card and vault interaction. Keep the gold-vault Card, main Drill and smaller-safe Mini Drill requirements separate rather than treating the clip as a shortcut through all bank locks.
Install the Drill and cover the entrance
Watch the installation and the separate hauling/cover roles. This excerpt does not establish a universal Drill duration or the order of every bank lock.

Fill the USB tool before spending it on the Drill
The USB tool needs five points. Grand Hotel, Strip Club, Police Station and Gas Station computers provide two points per qualifying computer hack; most listed smaller-shop computers give one. A practical points budget is 2 + 2 + 1 = 5, provided you can open and complete those targets.
This is a points plan, not a promise that every target is ready or accessible. Budget the room opener and research requirements first. A full USB tool has a $200,000 base sale value; exchanging it for a Drill gives up that sale.
Example: reach five USB points
- 2-point computer
Use an eligible major target, such as Grand Hotel.
- Another 2-point computer
Complete a second eligible interaction. Running total: 4.
- 1-point computer
An eligible smaller-shop interaction brings the total to 5.
Fill Deposit Box Keys and open the bank targets
Empty Deposit Box Keys are bought through the Trade Laptop after their unlock. Opening bank deposit boxes fills the set; the required total is 60 points. There are 12 boxes, but points per box are not published, so a number of complete bank runs cannot be calculated.
Deposit boxes use 1.5-second hand actions. Bank safes use 120-second Mini Drill actions, twice the 60-second duration listed for eligible shop or hotel safes. The main vault Drill duration is unknown. Do not add the smaller timings and label the result a full heist time.
Inside the bank
| Spot | How many | What opens it | What's inside |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vault gold | 7 | Vault | 1 Gold Bar each |
| Vault cash | 6 | Vault | $10,000 Cash each |
| Deposit boxes | 12 | Cracked by hand, 1.5 seconds each | Points towards Deposit Box Keys. Our data doesn't list any other loot. |
| Safes | 3 | Mini Drill, 120 seconds | Not listed |
Calculate loot value before calling it profit
The listed seven Gold Bars and six $10,000 cash stacks add up to $424,000 at base values. Use the worked budget next to compare those entries with the full USB tool’s foregone sale. That subtotal does not value the cash-bag cargo shown later or establish the whole Drill job’s payout.
Ruby in Case is a possible random find. Keep it outside the fixed item comparison, and allow for other access costs, replacement equipment, transport, losses and offer modifiers.
Listed bars and cash only
- 7 Gold Bars × $52,000
- $364,000
- 6 cash stacks × $10,000
- $60,000
- Listed item subtotal
- $424,000
Listed bars and cash: partial value comparison
| Item | Sells for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Gold Bar | $52,000 | Stacks to 5 and takes a 2 × 1 space. Can also be bartered. |
| Cash | $10,000 per vault stack | Dirty cash. Launder it to keep it safe. |
| Ruby in Case | $20,000 | May appear |
Worked budget: the Drill already has an opportunity cost
Seven listed Gold Bars contribute $364,000 and six $10,000 cash stacks contribute $60,000: $424,000 fixed base value. Bartering the full USB tool gives up its $200,000 base sale. That leaves a $224,000 comparison difference before the ID Card inputs, Mini Drill, loadout, transport, loss and any offer modifiers. It is still not net profit.
Use this comparison before filling another tool. If you want upgrade cash now, selling the full USB tool is a complete outcome. If you want bank access, reserve it for the barter and budget the remaining kit and carrying capacity. A Ruby in Case is a possible random find, not a fixed line in the plan.
Expect announcements and plan extraction
Placing the Drill immediately alerts Looty Bay, with another notification on completion. Gold-vault breaching has a separate Special Job notice whose audience is unspecified. Deployed Drills and Mini Drills can be confiscated.
Plan carrying space and the way out before starting. Completing an opening is not the end of the run: you must leave the city alive to secure the haul. Arrest removes bag contents while preserving equipped gear; dirty cash still needs laundering.
Cash bags need a cargo plan
The bank recording also shows cash bags handled as cargo. Prepare dedicated cargo space and a loading plan for that output; spare inventory rows are not a substitute. Put the load into the vehicle and complete the city exit before treating the job as secured.
The $424,000 comparison above adds the listed Gold Bars and cash stacks only. It does not price all cargo produced or carried in this recording, and it is not a complete current-job payout. Leave unpriced cargo out of a numerical profit claim.
Bank cargo still has to be carried out
The bank recording includes cash bags handled as cargo. The listed Gold Bar and cash-stack subtotal does not price every cargo object in this scene.

Common questions
Why will the bank employee not serve me?
Bank services refuse masked players. Handle account opening or ordinary banking without the mask; that is separate from the robbery.
How many computers fill a USB Hacking Tool?
The requirement is five points. With eligible targets, two 2-point hacks and one 1-point hack reach five. Do not assume every computer gives the same amount.
How many bank runs fill Deposit Box Keys?
The set needs 60 points, but points per box are unknown. Twelve boxes per bank does not establish a run count.
Can Police take the Drill after I place it?
Deployed Drills and Mini Drills can be confiscated. The placement alert makes this a preparation concern, not just an equipment cost.
Is $424,000 the profit?
No. It is fixed base loot value. A full USB tool bartered for the Drill already gives up a $200,000 base sale, before other costs.
Can I calculate the whole bank time from the 120-second safe action?
No. That is the Mini Drill timing for smaller bank safes. The main-vault Drill duration and the full preparation, loading and extraction times are not established here.
