The short answer
To change servers in ROB RUN, open the global map, select the Prison, and choose Surrender to Feds. Inside the prison you can pick another server.
Server-switch steps
- Open the global map.
- Select the Prison location.
- Choose Surrender to Feds.
- Pick the server you want from inside the prison.
- Rejoin your friend or restart your run on the new server.
This is the same route used to sync with a friend who is already on another server. If you are changing servers for a party, resend the party invite after the switch.
What the switch costs
Changing servers resets the current run. Do not expect your position, active criminal status, bag, or current server progress to carry over.
Before switching:
- Spend or bank cash you do not want to lose.
- Finish a sale instead of leaving loot in your bag.
- Say goodbye to any base or territory plan on the old server.
- Confirm the new server is one you actually want to play on.
If you are switching only to join a friend, make sure the friend is already on the target server and ready to resend the invite.
When switching makes sense
Use the prison route when you need to:
- Join a friend on another server.
- Leave a server that is no longer active for your group.
- Start fresh on a new server.
- Move away from a run that has already gone badly.
Do not use it as a way to duplicate or preserve a run. The reset is the price of the move.
Server cycles still apply
Each server has its own seven-day wipe cycle. A switch gives you a new run, not a permanent escape from the wipe. If a new server is close to its own reset, check the timer before you invest in a base or a long-term territory plan.
For party play, handle the invite and the server switch together. The friend page walks through the full sequence; this page focuses on the move itself and what it resets.
