The full kit
| Item | Where | What it opens or does | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| C4 | Weapon shop | Blows the bank lockers open during a robbery. | Buy it before the bank timer opens; there is no way to improvise one. |
| Crowbar | Weapon shop | Forces the residential houses near the bank. | Cheap filler income; other players running the same route will clear houses before you. |
| Sidearm or rifle | Weapon shop | Self defence when NPCs or officers chase you. | Equipping a weapon near a federal agent makes you wanted on the spot. That is literally a badge in the game. |
| RPG | Weapon shop, game pass | Game pass weapon. | Collected from the weapon shop after buying the pass. |
| Golden AK | Weapon shop, game pass | Cosmetic game pass weapon. | Part of the exclusive weapons pass bundle. |
| Duffel bag | Carried | Raises how much contraband you can carry in one run. | Carrying capacity is capped; the 'Full Bag' badge exists for hitting the maximum. |
| Briefcase | Loot | Laundered for cash rather than sold at a buyer. | There is a badge for laundering $20,000 from a single briefcase, so briefcase values scale well above that floor. |
| Scanner | Border Patrol equipment | Scans a civilian at the checkpoint. | Federal side tool. There is a dedicated badge for using it. |
| Police tablet | Police and federal equipment | Runs an immigration check on a Roblox username and issues warrants. | A clean player sometimes returns a false 'no record' result; re-run the check two or three times. |
| Camera network | Police equipment | Cycles through fixed cameras across the map. | Added in the Aug 29 patch. |

Carrying a weapon has a cost
The badge Armed and Suspicious — "equip a weapon near a Federal agent and become wanted" — has been awarded 8,458,363 times, roughly one in four players. That is not a trivia note; it is the game telling you that the most common way people become wanted is by holding a gun in the wrong place, not by smuggling. If you are running printers and want to stay unraidable, the safest loadout near the checkpoint is nothing at all.
Fighting the police
Worth doing in ones, not in twos. Downed officers can be looted for roughly $3,000 each, which makes a solo encounter mildly profitable. Against two officers at close range you get tasered before you can reload, and everything you were carrying goes with you. Bank the money you already have before starting a fight you had a choice about.
Where to sell what
Smuggled goods go to a buyer across the border; briefcases get laundered instead. Two things players search for that we cannot source honestly yet: where to sell guns, and where the jewellery fence sits after the jewellery update. Neither appears on camera in any footage we could cite, so both are blank here rather than guessed at — if you find a video that shows either, that is a page correction we would rather make than sit on.
FAQ
How do you get C4 in San Diego Border Roleplay?
Buy it at the weapon shop before a bank run. It is what opens the bank lockers and there is no improvised substitute.
What is the crowbar for?
Forcing the residential houses near the bank. It is filler income for the window while the bank timer counts down.
What does the police tablet do?
Runs an immigration check against a Roblox username and issues warrants off the result. A clean player sometimes returns a false no-record reading; re-run the check two or three times.
