ROB RUN Federal Raid Timer: Prepare for Your State’s Wipe

Your friend can be on a different state clock. Mail, federal confiscation and the Season change also have different triggers, so one countdown cannot answer every retention question.

The documented federal cycle is seven days from the state opening. Another state can have a different opening and deadline, so a friend’s countdown is not a substitute for the timer on your current state. Updates may change cycle length; use the current in-game countdown for the decision.

New states open in each region, with a reported daily schedule as well as capacity-triggered openings. Exact raid clock times and the population threshold for opening another state are not supplied. There is no reliable universal wall-clock wipe time to put into your calendar.

The prison selection example shows several named states with different ages. Agree on the state name, not just the region, when planning a party or a new run. An age shown in this recording is not a live countdown for your current state.

For the deadline on the run you already own, use its own in-game federal countdown. Do not surrender just to inspect another state’s age: ordinary surrender ends the current run.

The raid confiscates state assets and sentences the character. Greater confiscated value increases sentence length and contributes to cumulative jail progression for tattoos and shipment gates. It does not preserve that wealth as usable equipment.

This is why “sell everything before the raid” is not automatically correct. Retaining confiscatable wealth can contribute to progression; liquidation changes the assets held but does not by itself establish protection. Choose between the game’s known retention rules and your sentence goal.

Claim unclaimed mail before changing server, because transfer loses server-specific rewards. Check Season currency against its own deadline: it disappears when a new Season begins, not simply because another state has reached a federal timer.

Coordinate the next destination with your party or clan before ending the run. B-Coin is explicitly protected against federal confiscation, but other bank balances and purchases need their own rule. Theft protection alone is not federal protection.

Settings → Other → Surrender to Feds is the ordinary way to end a state run before its timer. It immediately confiscates current-state assets and starts a sentence. Read the confiscation summary before confirmation; it is not a harmless destination selector.

After the raid or surrender, prison escape points transfer you into another state with a fresh state-level start. Region selection is available only in prison. Speak to the Tattoo Artist and choose the destination through the prison sequence.

If the goal is to join a friend now, voluntary federal surrender trades the remaining current-state run for the prison-and-transfer sequence. Inspect the confiscation summary before confirming. If the goal is a jail-year gate, compare the actual sentence outcome; the court record includes an early-surrender reduction without a verified fixed amount.

Selling a stockpile first does not establish wipe protection. It changes items into money, while both belong to the federal asset question. Decide what you want to finish in the remaining state time and avoid starting a production chain whose output you cannot collect and deliver before that deadline.
