Also called	City

Rising City, also simply referred to as the City, is one of the main locations of Jailbreak. It is known for its large size, easy access, and high concentration of robberies and other major locations. It is situated next to the Dunes.

Overview

Previously referred to in-game as the City, it was given the name Rising City on April 2, 2022 as part of the 5 Year Anniversary Live Update. The name was taken from a suggestion given by Br0kenSyniLai.

Rising City is home to three robberies: the Rising City Bank, Bank Truck, and the Jewelry Store. Three other robberies, the Gas Station, Museum, and the Power Plant, are also in close proximity. In addition, the Cargo Train and Passenger Train robberies also pass through here via Train Tunnel 2 on their journey.

Additionally, Rising City is where the Hospital, Rising City Criminal Base, Rising City Garage, Control Tower, and the Rising City Penthouse are located.

Formerly, the Rising City also included three apartments which were removed in the Dream Homes Update. As of the Crew Battles Update, some of the buildings in the Rising City change color accordingly to the color of the #1 Crew.

Rising City also contains many vehicle spawns, including the Ambulance, Camaro, Concept, Cybertruck, Eclaire, Helicopter, Interrogator, La Matador, Little Bird, Model 3 and Roadster. The Brulee and Megalodon were also former occupants of the area.

As all the roads in front of the Prison lead to Rising City, criminals and police can often be seen passing through here after escaping the Prison. When night approaches, the buildings will light up one after another starting at approximately 8 PM in-game time, and turning off one after another at approximately 4 AM in-game time.

Major Changes

Rising City has changed in appearance many times throughout the history of Jailbreak.

2B Visits Live Update

During the 2B Visits Live Update, Rising City was destroyed by the volcano the Volcano Criminal Base is located in.

When the volcano erupted, lava spewed out of the volcano and headed towards Rising City. Rising City experienced an earthquake as the buildings sank into the ground - the quake stopped when all buildings had sunk. A new city then reformed in a matter of minutes with more shaking, which introduced the Hospital, new apartments as well as new building designs, including one for the unused floors of the Rising City Bank.

Robberies were not destroyed during this event, although the Rising City Bank's "extra floors" sunk through the bank. When they rose back up, it had its height dramatically increased. Anybody in apartments during the live event was kicked out and not refunded. Some servers, however, did not experience this change and the buildings did not rise, thus creating a flat land.

It was later revealed that Rising City sank due to negative feedback about the lack of detail in the city prior. Even after the live update, the minimap did not update to the newer version of Rising City until the 2018 Winter Update.

3 Year Live Update

During the 3 Year Anniversary Live Update of April 4th, 2020, the Jailbreak map was hit by a developer nuke released from the Military Base. Due to the nuke's after-effects, Rising City was destroyed by a tornado and was flooded soon after. After the map was flooded, water began to fill the screen of players witnessing the event with the text "Please wait". All Jailbreak servers later were disconnected to make way for the update.

When the update came out, Rising City was revamped, featuring new and more creative buildings, textures, and models. The Bank, Jewelry Store, the former penthouse apartment building, and the Control Tower all received new models, along with all the other less notable buildings. However, some servers did not have the live event occur - instead, players in these servers only saw the old Jailbreak map.

List of Locations in Rising City

A list of locations seen in Rising City. They are listed in alphabetical order.

Location	Description
Apartments (Removed)	Apartments are buildings that players can rent and customize. Prices range from 5,000 - 10,000 and must be purchased every server the player joins. Despite them being so expensive, they serve as a big advantage for players. As they are able to live in them, start crews, fully customize the interior and more. As of the Dream Homes update, apartments were removed and replaced with the new Rising City Penthouse.
Badimo Charging Station	The Badimo Charging Station is an electric vehicle station where the Model 3 and Roadster spawn. It currently serves no purpose except as a decoration and a spawn point for the Model 3 and Roadster, as previously mentioned.
Bank	The Bank is a stationary robbery where criminals with keycards can enter. It currently has five possible floors with different difficulties which can reward 2,000 - 9,000, depending on the floor and gamepasses a player owns. The building also houses the Bank Truck, which can be robbed. A La Matador spawns outside the Bank, being a great escape vehicle, however a Model 3 and Roadster spawn just a little further away. The Little Bird also spawns on the roof.
Basketball Court	Located next to the Showroom is a basketball court with a small brownish-orange ball inside it. The ball can be moved around but cannot be shot into the hoop. The court does not hold any significant role.
Carpark	Serves no purpose other than decoration, however, players can drive through with their vehicles and find a unique ramp on the top floor.
Control Tower	Here, players can pay Robux to perform specific commands in the server, such as throwing a party, spawning a Passenger Train and Cargo Train, and spawning Airdrops.
Crew Tower (Removed)	The Crew Tower is where players can view the Crew leaderboard displaying players' crew name along with their rating. The tower also glows with the Top Crews' color.
Rising City Criminal Base	This criminal base serves as a spawn point for criminals, providing two armories, a clothing rack to change out of the prison jumpsuit and a spawn point for the Camaro and Celestial. Criminals are also able to obtain their money robbed from the Jewelry Store here.
Rising City Garage	Like the Mountainside Town Garage 2, it allows players to customize their vehicles, or spawn them. Compared to the town garages though, this garage has three available slots for players.
Rising City Gun Shop	The Gun Shop is an alternative location for players to equip weapons, being the counterpart of the Mountainside Town Gun Shop. It has exactly the same system, having a dual-use armory inside.
Rising City Penthouse	The Penthouse was added as part of the Dream Homes update. Players can enter the penthouse via the elevator at the lobby. Players can also customize their penthouse, along with the accessible balcony.
Hospital	The Hospital is one of the first buildings seen when entering Rising City from the west. It was added in the 2 Billion Visits Update to serve as a spawn point for the Ambulance. Like most of the buildings in Rising City, the Hospital is inaccessible.
Jewelry Store	The second robbery introduced to Jailbreak. The Jewelry Store is able to be robbed by criminals by laser cutting the glass at the bottom, and steal jewels by either punching the glass cases, or grabbing the large jewels on higher up floors. On top of this, to complete the robbery, players must successfully complete the obstacles on all floors, and exit on the rooftop and deliver the money to the Rising City Criminal Base.
Police HQ (Removed)	The Police HQ was the newest Police Station added to Jailbreak. Located next to Control Tower, it replaced the building under construction in the July 2021 Mid-Season Update to be the largest, and most active police spawn. It also features a built-in garage, multiple armories and plenty of vehicle spawns.
Rising City Police Station	This police station is not as large as the Police HQ, however, it serves as a closer spawn point to the Museum, being just below the hill, and by the now-relocated Military Base.
Showroom	A unique dealership, with particles and blue prints for a unique vehicle. It was added in the 2021 5 Days of Vehicles Update to house a grand spawn for the Concept.
Tower Crane	A tower crane can be seen linking between the green building next to the Jewelry Store and the Police HQ, which serves as a good getaway route when criminals finish robbing the Jewelry Store, with a way to get to the aerial vehicles located at the Police HQ.
Toy Store	Located by the Bank, it serves as a merch store to purchase toys and clothing from Amazon in-game.
Train Tunnel 2	This Train Tunnel is a tunnel that both the Cargo Train and Passenger Train pass through. One end of the tunnel is where the Badimo Charging Station formerly was. A train switch can be found here to switch the route of the trains. The other end of the tunnel is located near the Rising City Criminal Base.
Event Tower	The Event Tower is the second tallest skyscraper in the City, and serves as a showcase for Jailbreak events, such as the NASCAR Event and the McLaren F1 Event. It housed the spawn points of multiple event vehicles, as well as additional event merchandise that was purchasable with Robux. It is currently a generic skyscraper, since there are no events as of right now.

List of Locations surrounding Rising City

A list of locations seen surrounding Rising City. They are listed in alphabetical order.

Location	Description
Cheater Island	The Cheater Island contains a cage, which was originally used as a place for exploiters who were caught. Upon joining, they would spawn here and were unable to get out, however, this feature has been removed, despite the cage still existing.
Crime Port	A location added in the Ocean/Ships Update where criminals deliver crates from the Cargo Plane and Cargo Ship. A customization dock can also be found here, as well as a Ray spawn.
Fire Station (Removed)	This building had been present since the release of Jailbreak, though after the Fires Update, it once served a spawn point for the Firetruck. In the 5 Year Anniversary Live Update, the building was removed.
Ice Stage (Removed)	Located at the lake near Rising City, it was a large piece of ice that slowly melted as players worked together to earn the total cash goal of 20B to unlock the Iceborn.
Museum	One of the most popular robbery locations for criminals, the Museum is a stationary heist that is difficult to get to, being located on top of a hill, with a windy and slim road, and requiring at least two criminals to enter, and exit. Despite this, its cash amount makes up for it, rewarding up to 7,000 (8,400 with VIP).
Radio Tower	Located in front of the Museum, it remains the highest structure in-game. It used to serve as the spawn points of the Binoculars and the Flashlight.
Secret Agent Base	Located on the side of a mountain near the Museum, this level-locked location added in the 2018 Winter Update is the counterpart of the Criminal Lair, and originally served the spawn points of the Arachnid and Raptor, but is now one of the four La Matador spawn points. Similar to the Criminal Lair, this base also has a hologram map.

Trivia

• It is the second main location in Jailbreak, after the Prison, when Jailbreak was first released.
• During the 2 Billion Visits Update when Rising City sank, the bottom floor of the Rising City Bank, Rising City Police Station, Rising City Gun Shop and Jewelry Store did not sink. These buildings were not destroyed completely from the 3 Year Live Update either.
• For the first few days of the Battle Royale gamemode release, the minimap used the version that was supposed to be for the update of August 14th, 2018.
  • However, in the actual update of August 14th, 2018, it used the minimap of the update from March 3rd, 2018. This was not changed until the update of September 9th, 2018.
• Prior to the Oceans/Ships Live Update, Rising City was based on and resembled Phoenix, Arizona which is surrounded by desert. After the map was revamped, the surrounding landscape no longer resembles Phoenix, Arizona, but now looks more like a coastal city.
  • It could still be based on Phoenix, but the map may look similar to the surroundings of Theodore Roosevelt Lake in Arizona.
