Rob Run How to Change Servers (and What It Costs You)
Last updated:
Open the global map, select Prison, click Surrender to Feds, then switch server from inside the prison. What you lose by surrendering is not officially stated, and guides disagree.
As of November 13, 2026. Kefir says this process is going to change.
The official method
Kefir's Help Center gives these steps: open the global map, select Prison, click "Surrender to Feds", and then switch server inside the prison. Kefir's November 13 post admits this is inconvenient ("you have to surrender and head back to prison") and says it plans to make server selection much simpler.
Several guides (GamerBlurb, DTGRE, XboxPlay.games) describe a second route through the menu: Settings, Other, Surrender to Feds.
What do you lose? The sources disagree
Kefir does not state the exact surrender penalty. The guides split:
- GamerBlurb says the official instructions do not confirm whether surrendering keeps your inventory.
- DTGRE and XboxPlay.games say you lose cash, weapons, inventory, plots, base and clan on the old server, because each server is a separate world. XboxPlay.games goes further and says all progress resets.
- robrungame.com (a fan site reading game data) says surrender confiscates everything you hold on that server and gives you a sentence, much like the wipe, and warns that unclaimed mail rewards are lost.
The safe assumption is that you can lose everything on the old server. The Help Center's wipe wording ("converted into jail time") is similar, but that is not a statement about surrendering. See what you keep after a wipe.
Easier option: start fresh
You do not have to switch at all. Kefir opens at least one new server per day in each region, so you can simply start on a fresh one. Clans only exist on the server you chose, so a clan will not follow you.
Finding your server ID
A fan source (GamerBlurb) says the server ID is shown on the map as a region prefix plus a number, for example US-xxxxx, and that if it is hidden you should turn off Streamer Mode.
Not officially confirmed yet
The exact item and progress loss on surrender. Also, there is no server browser, and Kefir has not said when the simpler selection will arrive.

FAQ
Is there a server browser in ROB RUN?
No. Kefir says switching currently means surrendering and heading back to prison, and that it plans to make server selection much simpler.
Do I lose my stuff when I change servers?
Unclear. Kefir has not stated the exact penalty, and fan guides disagree. Assume you may lose cash, weapons and base progress on the old server.
