ROB RUN Wipe Schedule, Server Times and Regions
ROB RUN wipes every seven days and opens fresh EU and East US servers daily. Here are the times in your zone and why starting fresh matters.
ROB RUN servers wipe every seven days, and Kefir opens at least one fresh server per day in each region: EU at 5 PM UTC and East US at 8 PM ET. Only two regions exist for now, EU and East US. Below are those times in common time zones, what a wipe resets, why a fresh server is the best place to start and the PC you need to run the game.
How often ROB RUN wipes
Right now each ROB RUN wipe cycle lasts seven days. When it ends, the server resets and everyone starts again as a Hobo with nothing. Kefir has said the length could change later, so check their announcements if a cycle feels shorter or longer.
Kefir's reason is a level playing field. A fresh start each week means a new player and a veteran begin from the same point, and the fun is going from rags to riches again with a new plan. One detail from their FAQ: the more wealth you hold when the wipe hits, the longer your prison sentence.
When new servers open
There are two regions at the moment, EU and East US, and Kefir plans to add more. They open at least one fresh server per day in each region at fixed times, and extra servers open automatically when they are needed, including outside these times.
ROB RUN fresh server times (November 2026)
| Time zone | New EU server | New East US server |
|---|---|---|
| UTC | 5:00 PM | 1:00 AM, next day |
| London (GMT) | 5:00 PM | 1:00 AM, next day |
| Berlin, Paris (CET) | 6:00 PM | 2:00 AM, next day |
| Cairo (EET) | 7:00 PM | 3:00 AM, next day |
| New York (ET) | 12:00 PM | 8:00 PM |
| Los Angeles (PT) | 9:00 AM | 5:00 PM |
These times use winter time in Europe and the US, which applies through November. If you live outside both regions, pick the one with the better connection for you, since only EU and East US servers exist for now.
Why start on a fresh server
- Cops are weakest at the start. On a new server, patrol cops only have pistols. Better police gear unlocks as the server gets older.
- Land is open. Settlements and districts have not been bought up yet, so it is easier to rent a good plot or buy a settlement before the big clans settle in.
- Everyone is broke. Nobody has a head start, which is the whole idea of the weekly wipe.
- Clans form early. Clans exist per server, so joining at the start gives you the most time to climb the power pyramid.
Joining a server late in its week is still fine for learning the game, but expect richer players, stronger cops and less free land.
What a wipe keeps and what it resets
Kefir describes the wipe as a full fresh start: you go back to the bottom and build again with new experience, allies and plans. A few things are tied to the wipe cycle:
- Settlements you buy cannot be seized by anyone before the wipe, so ownership lasts the whole cycle.
- Clans exist on the server you chose, and you can switch clans between wipe cycles.
- Cosmetic items are the only things sold in the shop. Kefir has not said they are affected by wipes.
Server size and what to expect
Kefir describes thousands of players on a server, with up to 5,000 around you, and every cop and criminal is a real player. That is why the cops can feel overwhelming: they almost always outnumber criminals and respawn in Looty Bay.
Since launch, cops wait longer to respawn after each death in a row, so they cannot simply swarm robbers with numbers. Cops can also buy police badges now, with a selection that depends on the district they live in, while far fewer badges come from looting and cop salaries.
