Most of Looty Bay opens with keys you find while looting. Once you hold a key, the game marks its lock on your map, so your next target is set. The four grand heists need a special key or tool, and the whole city hears about them.

What can you rob in ROB RUN, and what does each target need?
Shops, houses and hotels need a found key or no key at all. The bank vault, police armory, gallery and Grand Hotel are grand heists with their own key or tool.
Every target, what opens it and the best find inside:
| Target | Opens with | Best find (sells for) | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Convenience stores, cafés | Green Safe Key, purple Room Key | Golden Jaguar Bottle ($27,700) | Low |
| Pharmacies | Green Safe Key, purple Room Key | Blood Pressure Monitor ($5,176) | Low |
| Gas Station | Green Safe Key, purple and gold Room Keys | Premium Car Compressor ($29,760) | Low |
| Jewelry stores | No key: 4 cabinets, 8 display spots | AMINA Earrings ($33,840) | Medium (4 cameras) |
| Cottages, mansion | Green Safe Key, purple Room Key, Keycard | OPALINE Magazine ($32,226) | Low (2 residents, Mansion has 4 cameras) |
| Reef and Seasons hotels | Green Safe Key, purple Room Key | Platinum Disc ($36,936) | Medium |
| Gun and equipment shops | Purple Room Key, Mini Drill | Collectible Multitool ($30,400) | Medium |
| Strip Club | Green Safe Key, gold VIP Room Key | Golden Jaguar Bottle ($27,700) | Medium |
| Grand Hotel | Keycard for the warehouse | PRIDE Ring ($34,876) | High (5 cameras) |
| Grand Hotel exhibition car | Jammer (confirmed by Kefir, source unknown) | Buletti exhibition car | City alert |
| Art Gallery exhibit | Glass Cutter + Gallery Keycard | Stone Maiden Statue ($27,420) | City alert |
| Police Station armory | ID Card (20 Evidence) | RC 5.56 Mk3 rifle, Powder ($4,052) | City alert |
| Bank vault | Drill + ID Card, Mini Drill for 3 safes | Gold Bar ($52,000) | City alert |
Prices are what the Fence pays before your Notoriety bonus. That bonus adds up to +50% at level 5, and solo mode starts you at level 4.
The Jammer is now official. Kefir's Nov 13 FAQ says you need it to steal the Buletti from the Grand Hotel. Where to get one is still unknown, so don't sell a Jammer to the Fence if you find it.
A jewelry store needs no key at all, just a fast exit past 4 cameras.
Pick by what you carry right now:
- No keys yet: loot cabinets in small stores. That's where keys turn up.
- Holding a purple key: bring a Mini Drill. The big safe in those rooms opens with nothing else.
- Full crew, a Drill and the bank's ID Card: go for the bank. Each Gold Bar pays $52,000, but every player in town is told.
Small stores are where keys and steady cash come from. Want the fastest cash instead? See every ROB RUN money method ranked by cash per hour.
What do the green, purple and gold keys open?
Green keys open one small safe, purple keys a locked room, gold keys a VIP room, warehouse or vault.
There are four kinds of keys in the game files:
| Key | Opens | How many | Where you get it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Green Safe Key | One small safe in a store, hotel, café or house | 14 | Found in the city |
| Purple Room Key | A locked room: gun shops, pharmacies, the Gas Station's left room | 11 | Found in the city |
| Gold Room Key, Keycard | Strip Club VIP room, Gas Station's right room, Grand Hotel warehouse, Gallery vault | 6 | Gold keys: found. Keycard: no source in the game files |
| ID Card | Bank gold vault or Police Station armory | 2 | Barter at the Suspicious Door |
There's no blue key in the game files. The only blue card is the Police armory ID Card. You barter it for 20 Evidence, an epic loot item the game files don't place anywhere yet.
Keys turn up in cabinets. Players report that a safe opened with a key often holds a better key, from green to purple to gold.
Players report that purple rooms hold more than the safe.
One Loraine Hills cottage room had about 4 cabinets and 3 to 4 cargo boxes. Bring a car with trunk space.
Which tools open what, and where do you get them?
Tools open what keys can't: doors without tripping the alarm, big safes and the grand heists.
Prices are Black Market prices after you unlock the item in Shipments:
| Tool | Opens | Get it |
|---|---|---|
| Lockpick | Doors and containers without the alarm | $99 (unlock $5,000) |
| Mini Drill | Big safes in purple rooms, 3 bank safes | $18,000 (unlock $100,000, level 2 settlement) |
| Glass Cutter | The Art Gallery exhibit | Barter: 3 full Code Tablets |
| Drill | The Bank Vault | Barter: 1 full purple (epic) Action Camera, 2 full USB Hacking Tools, $50,000 |
| Master Key | Other players' safes at their base | $55,000 (unlock $50,000, level 2 settlement) |
Some guides say one USB Hacking Tool buys a Drill. The game files ask for two, plus the camera and the cash.
The Master Key won't open anything in Looty Bay. It's for base raids, together with the decoders that break a base's Security System.
How do you rob a store without setting off the alarm?
Cut the power before you go in. A camera that watches you too long sets off the alarm, and cops see it on their map.
Work through it in this order:
Scout the store as a Civilian first.
Park behind the building, away from the street.
Hold F to put on your mask.
Break the electrical panel, the orange box at the back.
Break in through the back door.
Aim your gun at the seller so they don't call the cops.
Loot the store and drive off.
Sell at a Fence with your mask on.
The seller won't wait forever. Keep your gun on them, and step out of their sight when you're done.
At the Gas Station, players park inside the garage and close the doors. Nobody on the road sees the car.
If cops still show up, our cops guide explains how to lose them.
How do you get the Drill and Glass Cutter for the big heists?
You fill them up while you rob. Four items in your bag gain points from the work you already do.
Each item fills from a different job:
| Item | Fills from | Full, it trades for |
|---|---|---|
| Code Tablet | 4 safes you crack, or the ATM in a cash event a hacker tips you off about | 3 full: Glass Cutter |
| USB Hacking Tool | 5 points from Secured Computers, 1 or 2 each | 2 full, a full purple (epic) Action Camera and $50,000: Drill |
| Action Camera | 1 point per cabinet, drawer or safe you loot, 5 per drill safe, 10 per bank safe | 1 full purple one goes into the Drill |
| Deposit Box Keys | 60 points, 1 per bank deposit box (the bank has 12) | 1 full: the bank's ID Card |
Secured Computers worth 2 points: Grand Hotel, Strip Club, Police Station, Art Gallery and the west Cottage. The Gas Station has two worth 1 each.
Trade full items for the Drill and ID Cards at Lenny or the Suspicious Door, the game's barter spots.
Selling is the other option. A full USB Hacking Tool sells for $200,000, so a Drill costs you $400,000 in USB sales alone.
Short on time? Sell the full items.
Running a crew? Trade them and hit the vault.
So carry a Code Tablet on every job, and let safes fund your heist.
FAQ
Where do you sell stolen loot?
At a Fence, with your mask on. Cargo goes to the Smuggler instead.
Where is the Suspicious Door?
At Lenny's Motel. It trades your finds for heist gear like drills, keys and other tools.
