Breach Decoders are special raid tools in ROB RUN, which you use on another player’s Security System to strip it of its defense system by hitting a zero value, granting access to the building’s doors, gates, and windows. This guide will provide you with tips and tricks on how to get a decoder in the game, including both free and barter methods.
Free Ways to Get Decoders
The easiest free method to get a decoder is via Season 1: Pure Chemistry Battle Pass. You can claim it as a free reward on Page 3 of the Battle Pass by spending season currency, which gives an Uncommon Decoder. This option is available until December 4, 2026, and here’s how to unlock it:
- Open the Battle Pass Season menu in the game and look for the decoder on Page 3.
- You need to earn season currency by completing jobs across Looty Bay.
- Spend the season currency on free rewards, which are based on total season currency spent.
- Page 3 requires 3,000 season currency.
- Claim your rewards at Lenny’s Motel or in a settlement.
Note that if you don’t spend season currency, it’ll be lost if you leave the server. There is also an Infinite Reward option, where you can spend 200 season currency for a random inventory item an unlimited number of times. But it still doesn’t guarantee that you get the decoder, so better spend it on Page 3. Additionally, Uncommon Decoders can randomly drop from safes, cabinets, robberies, containers, etc. You can’t just buy them in shops either, but if you can farm loot areas and stockpile them.
Barter Methods for Epic Decoder
Three Uncommon Decoders give the same total Breaching as one Epic Decoder, so bartering mainly consolidates them into a single item rather than increasing its total power. You can do this at Lenny’s Motel and look for the Suspicious Door on the right side. The barter trader is behind it, allowing you to barter the following items for a single Epic Decoder:
- 3x Uncommon Decoders
- $10,000 Cash
Alternatively, you can barter 1x Filled Epic Action Camera for a single Epic Decoder, but it’s much harder. Here’s how to get and fill the Epic Action Camera:
- Unlock a base camera first from Battle Pass rewards.
- Complete $35,000 worth of Gadgets research at Larry’s Tree.
- Unlock Tier II Trade Laptop and buy the Epic Action Camera for $30,000, or buy it from an Electronics Dealer at a higher price, though the latter option is available only for Citizens.
- Reach Notoriety Level 3 and fill the camera to 70 points via lockpicking, opening safes, theft, etc.
Note that a Filled Epic Action Camera has a much higher resale value of around $100,000 than the Epic Decoder, which resells only for about $5,000, so only trade if you prioritize raiding over pure profit.
