Rob Run Cop Timer: What We Know About Respawns
Last updated:
Kefir increased cop respawn time on November 4 and each consecutive death adds extra delay, but no source gives the actual number of seconds. It is not officially confirmed yet.
As of November 13, 2026. Low confidence: qualitative changes only, no numbers anywhere.
"Cop timer" can mean a few things (respawn, on-duty time or the wipe countdown), and the sources only support a few points.
Respawn
Kefir increased cop respawn time in the November 4 patch, and each consecutive death adds an extra delay on top. Kefir's explanation in its Playtest News is that cops must not swarm robbers with numbers.
Server age and gear
On fresh servers, patrol cops are limited to pistols until the server ages. That is a time-based unlock, but no numbers were given.
Pay
One guide (GrindnStrat) says police earnings accrue during a shift and are paid out at the end of duty in confiscated goods, partly as cash. Power Up Gaming says contraband converts to payout when you end duty at the station. Both are single-source.
Not officially confirmed yet
We found no official or guide figure for the respawn duration, the number of cop slots or any cop time limit. Power Up Gaming also mentions a "federal raid countdown" ending an arrest window, but the wording is ambiguous and single-source. For wipe timing see the wipe schedule.
