Robberies & Heists

Robberies and Heists are two of the main methods of earning cash in Jailbreak as a Criminal.

Overview

Each heist varies in both levels of difficulty and amounts of cash, giving 20 daily XP during an active season. Some heists can also be "robbed" by Police under the name of "robbery protecting", such as the Passenger Train, Bank Truck and the Cargo Ship. The first heist added was the Rising City Bank. As of December 2023, the newest robbery added is the Oil Rig. The 3 main types of heists are stationary, moving, and small robberies. When in progress, stationary heists with the exception of the two small stores flash their robbery icons while moving heists will just suddenly close off them when they end their routes.

Robbery Systems

Current

Dynamic Robbery System

As of the Revamped Robbery Update, the robbery system has now changed to act similar to how robberies behaved prior to Robbery Groups. Four robberies can be open at the same time (not including the Gas Station, Donut Shop, Bank Truck or the Mansion) and if additional robberies are ready to open, they will enter a queue until less than 4 robberies are active. Each robbery has a set timer before it can reopen, and they will stay open until they are robbed. The exceptions to this rule are the Museum and Tomb in private servers, in which they will automatically close after 5 minutes if there is only one player in the server.

Removed

Robbery Groups

From the Fall 2023 Update to the Revamped Robbery Update, robberies used to be open in four groups at different times. The groups would change every 8 minutes or if all of the locations in the current group have been robbed, with there also being an additional 20 second delay between groups. If the timer expired while a robbery is in progress, there would have been a 4 minute timer for the robbery to end. Robberies with no assigned group open independently of the rotation. This change was implemented to help keep players together. However, after wide dissatisfaction of Robbery Groups by players, they were removed and replaced by a new robbery system.

• Group A (Rising City): Rising City Bank, Jewelry Store and Museum.
• Group B (Bounty Bay): Power Plant, Cargo Plane and Passenger Train.
• Group C (Crater City): Crater City Bank, Crown Jewel and Oil Rig.
• Group D (Miscellaneous): Cargo Train, Cargo Ship and The Tomb.
• No Group: Gas Station, Donut Shop, Bank Truck and the Mansion.
  • These were split from the rest of the robberies due to the Gas Station and Donut Shop being too minor of robberies, and the Bank Truck and Mansion having unique robbery requirements.

Classic Robbery System

From BETA release to the Fall 2023 update, the robbery system was significantly simpler than the other two iterations. In this version, every robbery had its own opening and closing timer, and it was possible for every robbery to be open at the same time. The Rising City Bank, Jewelry Store, Museum, Cargo/Passenger Trains, Power Plant, Cargo Plane, Cargo Ship, Tomb and Casino all followed this system until the Fall 2023 update which introduced the Robbery Groups system. The Oil Rig also followed this system for the first two months of its addition to the game, but was later added to Group C (Crater City Robberies) in the Season 20 update. The Crater City Bank never followed this system as it was introduced in the same update as Robbery Groups.

Locations

There are currently 2 small stores to rob and 13 places a player can start a heist in Jailbreak. Of the 13 places a player can start a heist at, 5 are moving robberies while the other 8 are stationary locations.

The 2 small stores that are able to be robbed are:

• Donut Shop

The 11 locations that one or more players can start a heist at are:

• Rising City Bank
• Crater City Bank
• Jewelry Store
• Cargo Train
• Passenger Train
• Cargo Plane
• Cargo Ship
• Power Plant
• Crown Jewel
• Mansion
• Oil Rig

The 3 locations that require two or more players to start a heist are:

• Bank Truck (2 police officers are required to enter the truck to begin the robbery)
• Museum (2 players are needed to blow up the dynamite on the roof and pull the levers to escape)
• The Tomb (2 players are required to stand on the pedestals at the entrance)

Trivia

• If the player didn't receive money from the Donut Shop or Gas Station, it means someone else has robbed it recently. It will also say "I don't have any money! Don't come back later...".
• When the Gas Station and Donut Shop came out, asimo3089 and badcc were not at the cash register. In a later update, both were added. In the August 2023 Update, the NPC model was changed to a model of them sleeping on a chair at the register.
• Currently, the newest location for a heist is the Oil Rig, located in the northwest quadrant of the map.
• The Mansion is currently the heist with the most cash awarded to players who complete it. This is followed by the Cargo Ship (2 crates) and Bank Truck.
• Criminals who own the BOSS Gamepass get notified about when a location will open up ahead of other players. Players without the gamepass will know about it around 20-30 seconds later, due to the updated robbery icon system and server chat message.
  • It is common practice for BOSS Gamepass owners to notify the other criminals about the robberies that will open.
• If multiple people complete a heist after the Jewelry Store Update, it will say they successfully robbed it in separate messages unlike the Bank; the Bank will display a single message for all of the people that robbed it when the timer hits zero or all criminals have left the building.
• Most of the robbery locations have vehicles spawn nearby, designed as a last-resort getaway if you do not have access to a personal vehicle.
  • The Rising City Bank has the La Matador located a few steps away with the Little Bird (and by extension an aircraft spawner) on the rooftop, and the Crater City Bank has the Falcon S and Jet Ski at the main entrance.
    • The Bank Truck itself is a vehicle, meaning that police officers can use it to escape pursing criminals. However, it cannot be used to escape the Rising City Bank as it is completely locked to criminals.
  • The Jewelry Store has the Eclaire parked by the building next door.
  • The Museum parking lot has the Boxer and Badger available.
  • The Power Plant has the Delorean and Cruiser at the front entrance, and the Cybertruck at the side exit.
  • The Tomb has Dune Buggy at the desert exit, or the Cybertruck at the Rising City exit.
  • The Crown Jewel has the Ray 9 at the front entrance, and the Desert Crawler by the train tracks that pass behind the building.
  • The Oil Rig has the Speed Yacht, and the Jet Ski as aquatic escape vehicles, with an additional Helicopter located on the roof. You must disable the defense system and the helicopter must be hijacked before you can use this option.
  • The Gas Station has the Pickup sitting at a gas pump.
    • Moving heists have less permanent getaway options, due to them not staying in one place. These are the two trains, the Cargo Ship, and Cargo Plane.
      • The two trains may stop at the large train station near the museum, which has the Stallion available.
      • With the Cargo Plane, if you time your jump right, you can land at either the Museum to get a Boxer or Badger, or the Rising City Bank roof and use the Little Bird to reach the dock.
    • The only non-moving heist that doesn't have any last resort vehicles nearby is the Donut Shop.
      • However, there is a Challenger spawn at the parking lot of the gun store nearby. You also are able to spawn a vehicle you own by going to the nearby garage, or grabbing a vehicle at the 1M Dealership.
• The Donut Shop has eyes on the giant Donut that can be seen on the top of the building.
• When Criminals are carrying a Museum duffel bag, their speed will slightly decrease until they turn in the money to the collector or they drop it from their inventory.
• After the 3 years live update, asimo3089 and badcc were not at the cash register at Gas Station and Donut Shop, and were located at the missile silo. They then returned in the Nukes update.
• asimo3089 and badcc were actually below the ground in both the robberies. This was discovered by a former Jailbreak YouTuber, KreekCraft.
• asimo3089 and badcc were removed from their respective spots in May 2021 in preparation for the new robbery when they were moved to the desert near the Military Base examining what the Jailbreak Collector was digging up. They were added back to their spots in the Tomb Update.
• Both the Cargo Ship and Bank Truck can be robbed twice by criminals.
• As of the Balance Update, vehicles are no longer allowed to enter robberies.
  • This includes no vehicle spawning inside robberies and preventing police officers from entering robberies they should not be in. If a player tries to enter a robbery with a vehicle, they will be ejected and their car will be permanently disabled until it despawns.
• Since the 2023 Winter Update, no new robberies have been added or introduced.
  • Previously, a new robbery would be added every six months, usually one in June while the other in December.
• The trains cannot be collided even if a player spawns one via the Control Tower, the train currently active will despawn.
• There is a glitch where the last person to rob the Banks is not included in the chat message. This can also cause there to be no message if there is only one robber.
• Before the Robbery Groups were introduced, players on the police team could summon the Cargo Plane with the walkie-talkie at the Bounty Bay Airport.
  • Even with the Revamped Robbery update, police are still unable to summon the Cargo Plane despite the walkie-talkie still being present. asimo3089 originally said this wouldn't return, but is now considering returning it due to multiple requests.
