Case 08Rented settlement plot

ROB RUN Base Building

A ROB RUN base is built from items, not blueprints placed in thin air: every structure and piece of furniture deploys from your inventory, and you buy or loot them. Your base stores what Lenny cannot hold, runs production, becomes an extra respawn point and is the thing raiders come for.

Set up a base

From an empty plot to a working hideout.

01Plot

Rent in an owned settlement

Pick a settlement that has an owner. Higher district levels need Black Market documents for the plot.

02Deploy

Place items from your inventory

Structures and furniture are inventory items. Buy them or loot them, then deploy them on the plot.

03Core

Start from the main building

It comes with a laptop for the Black Market, a first-aid kit and a few cabinets.

04Bank

Add a Laundering Desk

The desk turns cash into banked money, and its capacity was raised massively at launch.

05Garage

Unlock your own car

A plot with a house or garage lets you buy a car. Its key goes in the key locker.

06Secure

Fit the Security System

Install fuses and defense modules before your stash is worth stealing.

Defending against raids

How a break-in works and what slows it down.

Fuses cost raiders time

Each fuse in the Security System makes hacking take more time and more resources.

Decoders open the door

A raider uses a decoder on the Security System to gain temporary access. Repair the system and they are locked out again.

Alerts reach your allies

Defense modules warn you and your allies the moment a raid starts.

A full wipe is rare

Wiping a base completely needs an extremely rare item found only as loot, and it also seizes any cars parked inside.

Running the base

Production, unlocks and mobility once the walls are up.

Business

Farms and labs pay more

The launch patch massively raised profits from base businesses such as farms, laboratories and contraband.

Shipments (H)

Unlock goods by level or jail time

The Shipments tab, opened with H, unlocks goods as your settlement levels up or as you build up jail time.

Respawn

Wake up at home

Once built, your base works as an extra respawn point, so a death no longer means a long walk back.

Relocate

Pack up and move

You can move the whole base with its contents at any time, for example when a settlement gets too hostile.
