I stood behind the teller’s counter with the drill whirring and an alarm countdown in my ear. My hands were shaking, not from fear but from the calculus of risk versus reward. You can feel the map folding closed around you the moment you go Criminal.
I’ve raided the vault more times than I’ll admit, and I’ll tell you how to make each second count. This guide treats the vault like a machine you can learn to out-think—step by step, no theatrics, just the moves that work.
Real-world vaults are layered—so is ROB RUN’s Bank Vault. All required items for a Bank Vault raid in ROB RUN
There’s no improvising your way through the vault. You need specific gear and a little planning. Think of the run as a short, precise operation—every tool reduces chaos.
How do you get the Drill in ROB RUN?
I found the Drill at Lenny’s Motel behind the suspicious door. You trade an Action Camera, two USB Hacking Tools, and 50,000 credits (≈€5,000) for a Drill. On rare occasions the Drill drops as a legendary find during house raids, but that’s a lottery ticket—not a plan.
Can I buy a Mini Drill, and where?
Mini Drills appear in the Gadgets Shipment tree after you reach Settlement level 2 and stash $100,000 (€92,000) in your account. Each Mini Drill costs $18,000 (€16,560). You’ll need them to breach the larger safes inside the main vault.
Do I need an ID Card to open the vault?
The ID Card isn’t mandatory for entry, but it fattens your take. Swap a Deposit Box Key at Lenny’s Motel for an ID Card if you want the extra crates. I treat it as an insurance policy—you can skip it, but your score drops.

Head northeast on the map, drop to the bottom floor, and slip behind the teller’s counter. The vault sits where an eye would be least likely to look.
Before you start the Drill you must flip your status to Criminal. That change is the red wire: alarms will trip, guards will swarm, and the clock starts. Use your drill, collect the loot, and be gone—fast.
Movement matters. I move like a locksmith in a house full of ticking clocks—the first tool out, the fastest route home. Pick a single exit and run to it; hesitation multiplies risk.
The world rewards speed and planning. Strategy and risk management for the vault run
Start with the Drill and at least one Mini Drill in your inventory. If you can swing the ID Card, bring it. Lenny’s Motel and the Gadgets Shipment tree are your vendors—treat them like mission control.
Don’t linger after the vault opens. Every second you take is a seconds tax that grows into a full raid failure. You should be in, at the vault, and out before reinforcements read the room.
If you want a safety margin, run with an Action Camera and extra USB Hacking Tools in reserve. They’re cheap insurance compared to losing the whole haul.
I’ve taught this route to friends who were sceptical at first; most walked away richer and with fewer scars. Will you roll the dice and take the score?
