ROB RUN Police Radio: Stats, Price and How to Get It

The ROB RUN Police Radio is an epic-tier tool that reveals the location of the nearest patrols on the map, along with the Looty Bay encounter feed. It has a base price of $10,000 and an estimated sell value of around $1,000. You can obtain it either from the Black Market (unlocked through Shipments) or as a free Season 1 battle pass reward on page 2.

What the Police Radio does

According to its in-game description, the Police Radio serves two purposes:

• Patrol tracking — it shows the location of the nearest patrols on the map, which lets you plan movement around law enforcement instead of running into it blindly.
• Encounter feed — it displays the Looty Bay encounter feed.

The item description is the only confirmed statement of its function in the supplied material. The wiki page does not detail range, cooldown, or whether the patrol display works in every location, so treat those specifics as unconfirmed.

Police Radio stats at a glance

The 1 x 1 inventory footprint makes it a cheap slot to carry, and the gap between the $10,000 base price and the roughly $1,000 sell price means reselling it is a poor return compared with using it.

How to get the Police Radio

There are two confirmed acquisition routes, both listed on the ROB RUN wiki page for the Police Radio.

1. Black Market via Shipments

The Black Market route is gated behind several requirements that all need to be met:

• Shipments unlock — the Black Market listing is unlocked through Shipments for $25,000.
• Jail time — the unlock also requires 60 years of jail time.
• Settlement level — you must live in a level 2 settlement or higher.

That makes the Black Market path the expensive, progression-heavy option: the unlock cost alone is more than double the radio's base price, and the settlement requirement ties it to your base progression.

2. Season 1 battle pass (free)

The second route is the Season 1 – Pure Chemistry battle pass. The Police Radio is a free reward on page 2 of the pass, available until 4 December 2026.

For most players this is the cheaper path — no cash outlay and no settlement requirement — but it is time-limited and depends on reaching page 2 of the free track before the cutoff.

Which route should you take?

• If the season is still running: claim the free battle pass reward on page 2. It costs nothing and skips the $25,000 Shipments unlock and the level 2 settlement requirement.
• If you missed the pass window: the Black Market is the remaining confirmed source, but budget for the $25,000 unlock, the 60-year jail time requirement, and a level 2 settlement.
• Don't buy it to flip: with a base price of $10,000 and an estimated sell price of about $1,000, resale is not a viable money-maker.

Things to watch out for

• The battle pass reward is time-gated. The page lists 4 December 2026 as the end date for the free Season 1 reward. After that, the Black Market is the only route documented in the source.
• The sell price is an estimate. The source labels the $1,000 figure as an estimate, not a fixed vendor value.
• The Black Market requirements are cumulative. Unlocking Shipments for $25,000 does not by itself grant access — the jail time and settlement level conditions are listed alongside it.

Version note

The stats on the source page are described as client values from the 6 November 2026 update of ROB RUN. No platform-specific differences are documented in the supplied material, and the version is not independently confirmed beyond that wiki note.

FAQ

Is the Police Radio worth it? If you play around patrols or want the Looty Bay encounter feed, yes — especially via the free battle pass reward. Paying the $25,000 Shipments unlock purely for the radio is a steep price.

Can I get the Police Radio without the battle pass? Yes. The Black Market listing is the alternative, requiring the Shipments unlock ($25,000), 60 years of jail time, and a level 2 or higher settlement.

Does the Police Radio show all police on the map? The description says it shows the location of the nearest patrols, not all law enforcement. The source does not clarify the detection radius.

How much space does it take? One inventory cell (1 x 1).

When does the free battle pass reward expire? The source lists 4 December 2026 as the end date for the Season 1 – Pure Chemistry free reward on page 2.
