Beginner guide

ROB RUN (Kefir) starts you broke at Lenny’s motel. This route is the order the announcements and the help articles support. It is not a timed speedrun.

Street scene from ROB RUN in Looty Bay
City street to learn before the mask goes on. Kefir / Steam.
  1. You are a hobo, out of prison, sleeping at Lenny’s motel. Find Lenny. The help article says the intro work teaches the loops.
  2. Walk Looty Bay with the mask off. Note a small target, the exits, and how other people move. You are still a civilian.
  3. Pick a corner-store sized job. Mask on, one bag, leave. The city notes tie longer stays to higher notoriety.
  4. If officers close the street, surrender. The help center keeps your gear and takes the bag. A desert death is harsher, so do not wander out there with the only bag you own.
  5. Sell at a van marked with a dollar sign or at the Sales Center. Take the cash off the counter immediately.
  6. Spend it on a plot and a workbench inside a settlement that already has an owner. Level 2 and 3 districts also want black-market documents.

I am not listing gun names. The store and the help center do not publish a starter arsenal beyond the 1 November promise of a pistol on spawn, and that change was described as rolling out when ready. Coordinates are not public either. A wiki line about dying three times in the first fifteen minutes is one editor’s note, marked here as secondary, and it is not a step.

After the workbench exists, the base page is the next read: farms and a lab are how the plot earns. The 1 November note promised higher payouts as the changes become ready, without a numeric multiplier. Clan and tax ranks can wait until you actually hold land.

Questions

What should I do first in ROB RUN?

Find Lenny at the motel, scout without a mask, then run one small job and get out.

Should I buy a gun or a plot?

A plot and workbench are the next investment suggested by this guide. Kefir describes their functions but does not prescribe a universal first purchase.

Where is Lenny’s motel?

It is the starter lodging in the power-pyramid essay. A map coordinate is not published.
