What is Authority in ROB RUN?
Authority is your total jail time. The game shows it with a # sign, and it's the only level your character has.
You don't serve those years. The counter goes up, and you walk out of prison right away. It survives every wipe and every server switch.
Authority unlocks tattoos from the Tattoo Artist in prison. It also opens some Shipments, the unlock menu on H.
In the game data, the AFAK needs 5 years. The STAR-H needs 180 to 200 (Mk1 to Mk3), the DRM-14 950 to 1,000. Our guide on which Shipments to unlock first covers the rest.
How do you get more jail time?
A cop's arrest adds nothing. It only takes your bag. Years come from the feds, through Surrender to Feds or the Federal Raid.
The raid is the wipe that hits every state after 7 days.
The feds confiscate what you own on that state and set your sentence on the Court Ruling screen. Clean money, items, vehicles, property, land and unlocked Shipments count, plus money spent on your clan and bribes.
The game data gives these rates:
| Source | Jail time |
|---|---|
| Your first sentence | 1 year |
| Confiscated property | +1 year per $500,000 |
| One state, max | 40 years (about $20,000,000) |
| Lenny's $1,000,000 debt | +10 years (once) |
Small sums round down. One real ruling turned $289,090 into 0 years.
Lenny's debt is a one-time quest: you pay $1,000,000 from your bank at Lenny's Black Market laptop. It's the best deal here. A million at the Court Ruling buys 2 years, while the same million paid to Lenny buys 10.
Those 10 sit on top of the cap. One real ruling showed 50 years from one state: 40 from property plus Lenny's 10.
What else the raid takes is in our wipe guide.
What are all 23 Authority rewards?
The track is called Trust No One: 22 tattoos and one mask. Only the Tattoo Artist in prison hands them out.
Chance comes on top of the 23, free with your first sentence at 1 year. The game's counter starts with it as 1/23, so Fearlessness shows 2/23 and the 800 pair shares step 23.
Jail time thresholds match the in-game screens. Some names come from the game data only, so they may change. The right column counts capped states to each step, starting from Lenny's +10:
| Jail time | Reward | States at 40 years |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | Fearlessness | 0 (Lenny's debt covers it) |
| 15 | Joy | 1 |
| 40 | Criminality | 1 |
| 60 | Eagle | 2 |
| 80 | Sorrow | 2 |
| 100 | Flame | 3 |
| 120 | Eagle (second half of the first) | 3 |
| 140 | Heart | 4 |
| 160 | Trust | 4 |
| 180 | Risk | 5 |
| 200 | Path | 5 |
| 240 | Death | 6 |
| 320 | Defiance | 8 |
| 360 | Bandit | 9 |
| 400 | Vine | 10 |
| 440 | Diamond | 11 |
| 480 | O.G. | 12 |
| 520 | Crown | 13 |
| 560 | Freedom | 14 |
| 600 | Life Is a Game | 15 |
| 700 | Power | 18 |
| 800 | Revolvers and Silence (Legendary mask) | 20 |
The gaps grow after Path. From 40 to 200, a step comes every 20 years, half a capped state. After 200, steps sit 40 to 100 years apart.
The milestone worth chasing is Silence. It's the only mask on the track, and the game marks it Legendary. At the 40-year cap, it takes about 20 states: 20 weeks if you play one state a week.
What do tattoos do in ROB RUN?
They don't change your stats. No data we found ties a tattoo to damage, prices or loot. The game text says only that tattoos carry respect, in prison and outside it.
The sale and loot bonuses come from Notoriety instead. That's a separate criminal rating that grows with your crimes and raises what the Fence pays.
So a tattoo is a status mark. The Tattoo Artist says your ink tells everyone who you are. He even jokes that an unearned one gets scraped off in the showers.
How do you get a tattoo from the Tattoo Artist?
You claim each reward in person, in prison. The menu shows how many more years the next one needs.
Do this on every trip through prison. If the raid already sent you to prison, start at step 3:
Open the global map and select the Prison icon in its top-left corner.
Go to Global map
Press Surrender to Feds, then Confirm.
Go to Prison card
Press Accept on the Court Ruling to add the new years.
Go to Court Ruling
Walk to cell 217: the Tattoo Artist stands behind its bars.
Go to Prison
Talk to him and pick Authority.
Go to Prison
Select an unlocked reward and press E on Tattoo, or Get for the mask.
Go to Authority
Use the Escape prompt on the toilet in cell 212.
Go to Prison
Pick your next state and press Confirm.
Go to State Selection
Since the Nov 11 update, the Tattoo Artist also changes your name. The price and any limit on renames aren't known yet.
Max out at 40 years every state, pay Lenny once, and visit the Tattoo Artist on each trip through prison.
FAQ
Do you keep tattoos after the wipe in ROB RUN?
Yes. Tattoos and Authority survive the Federal Raid and every surrender. Cash, cars, property and Shipments go.
Does Authority carry over to a new server?
Yes. Authority belongs to your character, not to the state. You keep it when you escape to any state or switch region.
