The November 4, 2026 ROB RUN patch notes titled First Changes & Server Schedule adjust police equipment, early progression, business income and several items. The announcement does not establish a numbered game version. Read these as the named launch changes, rather than a claim that every later hotfix has been catalogued here.
Police changes
Consecutive police deaths now produce progressively longer respawn delays. Officers can buy badges, with the available selection depending on the district where they live. Badge drops from looting and police salaries were reduced at the same time.
On a fresh server, patrol officers begin with pistols. Better equipment becomes available as that server gets older. That distinction matters when an older guide shows stronger police equipment immediately after joining.
The selection screen identifies equipment tiers; it does not establish a server's age or current unlocks.
Economy and early progression
Tier 1 settlements and land rentals now use documents instead of cash. Business profits were increased across farms, labs, contraband and other base activities, and dumpsters provide more cash.
The basic pistol became cheaper, with additional starter weapon spawns around the city. A free pistol after every death was considered but was not the solution implemented in this announcement.
| System | Announced adjustment |
|---|---|
| Dismantling and selling Shipments | More profitable |
| Shipment drops | Reduced frequency |
| Dismantling | Longer duration |
| Selected Tier 2 and Tier 3 items | Higher unlock and purchase costs |
These are directional changes. The announcement does not provide an exact new price or multiplier for every item, so do not substitute a guessed number when comparing an older guide.
Item and storage changes
The Buletti can no longer transport Shipments. Cracking the Fabergé Egg takes less time, while the glass-cutter trade requires more tablets. The laundering desk can hold substantially more cash, and maximum stacks were increased for decoders, gold bars and several other items.
Check your vehicle's cargo capability before using a route built around transporting a Shipment. Likewise, check the current trade requirement rather than assuming an older tablet count still applies.
Server openings and later announcements
The post names EU and East US regions, with a plan for at least one fresh server daily in each: EU at 5 PM UTC, East US at 8 PM ET. Additional servers can open automatically when demand requires them. This is the opening plan in that announcement, not a guarantee that every server starts only at those times.
For later changes, check the game's Steam news area and official communities for a dated announcement. A status update, a silent build change and a detailed patch note can contain different levels of information; none justifies inventing a version number or declaring every connection problem fixed.
