The short answer
Base defense in ROB RUN works best in layers. Do not rely on one lock to protect everything inside.
Set up two security layers
- Put a Security System on the gate.
- Put another Security System on the house.
- Install fuses in both systems so attackers spend more time and resources hacking.
- Add defense modules that alert your allies.
- Join a clan so the alert reaches teammates who can respond.
- Close the doors when you leave.
A breach at the gate should give you and your clan time to react before the house is opened. One system covering both areas gives attackers a single point to defeat.
Treat the base as open PvP
The base area is not a safe zone. Players can wait behind the house and attack you when you return. Do not stand in the open sorting loot, and do not assume the absence of police means the area is safe.
Useful habits:
- Approach the base with an exit route in mind.
- Move loot inside instead of sorting it at the door.
- Close doors and check the security status before leaving.
- Respond when a clanmate reports a raid; the favor is reciprocal.
Fuses and alerts buy time
Fuses make a raid slower. Defense modules make a raid louder. Neither makes the base invulnerable.
The seven-day wipe removes the base and its defenses, so rebuild priorities each cycle. Spend on the security layer that protects the loot you actually have, not on a perfect setup you cannot finish before the reset.
If you have not placed a base yet, read the housing guide first. If you are the one attacking, use the base-raiding guide to understand what the defender’s systems are doing.
