Rob Run How to Get Decoder: Free and Barter Routes
Last updated:
Decoders are not sold in shops. You can get a free Uncommon Decoder from page 3 of the Season 1 Pure Chemistry Battle Pass, find them as random loot, or barter for an Epic one at Lenny's Motel.
As of November 13, 2026. The Battle Pass reward is time-limited.
What a decoder does
A Decoder (Breach Decoder) is a disposable item you use on another player's Security System to cut its defense and get temporary access. The owner can repair it and lock you out again. Kefir's October 2 post says attackers must choose targets carefully and decoders are not bought off a shelf. For the defender's side, see the base guide.
Free route: Battle Pass
GamerBlurb and Power Up Gaming agree that page 3 of the free Season 1 "Pure Chemistry" Battle Pass gives an Uncommon Decoder. It needs 3,000 season currency, and it is available until December 4, 2026.
Loot
Uncommon Decoders can also drop at random from safes, cabinets, robberies and containers. A random Infinite Reward option (200 season currency) does not guarantee a decoder, per Power Up Gaming.
Epic Decoder
Both guides say you can barter at Lenny's Motel, behind the Suspicious Door, for 3 Uncommon Decoders plus $10,000. The alternative is 1 filled Epic Action Camera (Notoriety 3, 70 points, plus $35,000 Gadgets research and a $30,000 camera).
Values
Breaching values are 1 for Uncommon and 3 for Epic. GamerBlurb says an Epic decoder takes 12 seconds to use. A fan item database lists a base value of 12,500 and a resale of about 5,000. A Legendary decoder exists in game data but no way to get it is known. Kefir raised the decoder stack size on November 4.
Not officially confirmed yet
What happens to the Battle Pass route after December 4, how to get a Legendary decoder, and whether prices will change.
