ROB RUN Bank Heist Guide: Gold Vault Requirements and Rewards

The ROB RUN bank heist targets the gold vault inside the Central Bank of Looty Bay. To pull it off you need two things: an exotic ID Card to open the vault and a legendary Drill to breach it. Setting up the Drill alerts the entire city, and a successful breach pays out stacks of Gold Bars worth roughly $52,000 each.

What the bank heist requires

The vault sits behind the doors of the city's largest bank, and the wiki describes it as definitely holding something worth stealing. Breaching it is a two-item job rather than a single key:

Both items come from the same two barter sources — Lenny or the Suspicious Door — so the bank heist is gated behind a barter chain rather than a single purchase. The Drill is the expensive half: beyond the two full legendary USB Hacking Tools, it also costs $50,000 in cash on top of the epic Action Camera.

Note that the source lists these as full items, meaning you need a complete, unspent stack or item in each case. Plan your bartering around that, since using up a Deposit Box Key or a USB Hacking Tool elsewhere will set the heist back.

Step-by-step: running the bank heist

1. Collect the barter materials. For the ID Card you need 1 legendary Deposit Box Keys (full). For the Drill you need 1 epic Action Camera (full), 2 legendary USB Hacking Tool (full) and $50,000 cash.
2. Barter with Lenny or the Suspicious Door. Both items are obtained the same way, so you can run both trades at whichever source you prefer.
3. Open the vault with the ID Card. The card is what gets you past the vault door.
4. Place the Drill. This is the noisy part. The source warns that as soon as the Drill is set up, everyone in Looty Bay is notified.
5. Wait out the Drill. It takes a lot of time to do its job, which leaves a long window where the whole server knows what you are doing.
6. Loot the vault. On success, everyone in Looty Bay sees "Attention! Gold vault breached!"

The Drill's two drawbacks — it is slow and it is loud — are the core risk of this heist. The notification fires the moment the Drill is placed, not when the vault opens, so the danger period covers the entire drilling time.

Rewards and achievement

A successful breach earns the Gold Digger achievement (breach the gold vault in the Bank). The vault itself holds stacks of 3 to 9 Gold Bars, and each bar sells for about $52,000. At those values, a single vault run is worth somewhere in the region of $156,000 to $468,000 in Gold Bars before you account for what you spent on the Drill and the ID Card materials.

How the bank heist compares to the other grand heists

ROB RUN has four grand heists in total, and each needs its own special key or tool. The bank is the only one that uses a placed tool with a long, loud timer rather than a silent entry item.

Two patterns stand out. First, the bank and the Gallery both need two items, while the armory and the hotel need one each. Second, the bank's alert fires at the start of the job because of the Drill, whereas the hotel and Gallery alerts fire while the theft is under way and the armory alert is reported on success.

If you want a quieter alternative, the Jammer for the Grand Hotel is described as working silently and quickly — the opposite of the Drill. The catch is that the source notes there is no way to get the Jammer in the game data, so it may not be obtainable through normal play.

Common mistakes and open questions

• Bartering after spending materials. The Deposit Box Keys, Action Camera and USB Hacking Tools must be full when you trade. Gather everything before you commit.
• Treating the Drill as stealthy. The source is explicit that the Drill is very noisy and that the whole city is told as soon as it is placed. There is no quiet bank route documented.
• Assuming the alert means failure. The notification is a warning to other players, not an automatic fail state. The source does not describe police response or counterplay for the bank specifically.
• Unknown: exact drill duration. The source says the Drill takes "a lot of time" but gives no timer.
• Unknown: respawn or repeat rules. Nothing in the source confirms whether the vault can be hit again after a breach or on what cooldown.
