What is ROB RUN?

An online crime sandbox where every cop and every criminal is a real player. You drive into Looty Bay, rob stores, houses and bank vaults, sell the loot to a fence and get out alive; the cops are players too, and you can join them. With the money you rent land in the desert, build a base, launder cash and run businesses. Clans of up to 100 fight over districts, and the leader of the clan holding Highlands becomes the Shadow Governor. Then the server wipes after a week and everyone starts again. Free to play on Windows; the shop sells cosmetics only (release, price and platforms).
