The short answer
Open the Clan tab in the side menu to join or create a clan in ROB RUN.
Join first, found later
Joining an existing clan is the low-friction option. Founding your own requires laundered funds in your bank account, so a new player should usually join first and learn the territory game before spending on a clan.
That order also gives you a group to defend a base with. A clan turns a solo base into a group defense, and the Security System can alert the clan as well as the owner.
What clans do
Members fight together for control by taking over desert districts and city businesses. Settlement owners and clans that control territory also collect taxes.
Clan play is not just a chat channel. It changes who can respond when a base is attacked and gives the group a reason to hold a location instead of treating every session as a solo run.
Practical clan order
- Open the Clan tab.
- Join an active clan, or confirm you have the laundered bank balance to found one.
- Ask which district or business the group is contesting.
- Put your base in a defensible settlement.
- Connect the Security System alerts.
- Respond when a clanmate reports a raid.
If you found a clan, spend the first cycle learning the group’s schedule. A clan with a shared plan is more useful than a larger clan that never responds.
Clan progress resets with the server
Clan territory is still subject to the seven-day wipe. Treat control as a per-cycle project, not a permanent account upgrade. Before the reset, spend or convert value and decide which district or business is worth contesting again.
