How the key chain works
Keys in ROB RUN form a chain. An uncommon safe key can drop while you search a building; it opens a small safe at one specific location. That safe may hold a rarer key — to a locked room in another building. Behind the locked door stand large safes and cabinets with the best loot of the building.
- Find a safe key and read its description: it names the building.
- Open the small safe there. If a room key or a keycard is inside, the chain continues.
- Before going to the locked room buy Mini Drills — one per large safe — and take a USB hacking tool if there are computers.
- Open the door, drill the safes, leave the city.
A Mini Drill is opened in Larry’s tree after the Lockpick: research 100,000 $, then 18,000 $ apiece, trader tier II.
All keys and what they open

Doors on other players’ bases
City keys do not work on bases. A building on a plot is opened with Decoders, and safes and cage shelves inside it with a Master Key (research 50,000 $, 55,000 $ apiece). A car trunk — any car, police cars included — is opened with a Trunk Lockpick. The numbers are in Base defence and raiding.
