San Diego Border Roleplay Teams

San Diego Border Roleplay ships eight distinct teams — each with unique vehicles, uniforms, loadouts, and gear. Four teams are free (Civilian, Border Patrol, Police, Coast Guard). Four premium teams (FBI, US Army, SWAT, BORTAC) unlock with Robux. Team choice defines your entire experience, from checkpoint booths to boat chases, house robbery, printer raids, and high-risk contraband roleplay.

Free vs Premium Teams

Civilian, Border Patrol, Police, and Coast Guard require no Robux purchase. Join any of these from the team menu on your first session. Premium teams — FBI, US Army, SWAT, and BORTAC — unlock through Robux gamepass or developer product purchase in the in-game store tab. Premium teams grant advanced vehicles, weapons, and uniforms suited to specialized enforcement or tactical roleplay.

New players should try free teams first. Border Patrol teaches checkpoint mechanics. Police teaches warrant raids and apartment confiscation income (~$10k per printer). Coast Guard teaches water intercepts after the August 15 boat drop. Civilian unlocks every money method — boat missions, smuggling, printers, house robbery, and bank heists. Premium teams reward players who already know the map and want elite gear. See our Premium Teams page before spending Robux.

How to Switch Teams

Tap the team icon in the top-right HUD — it sits between the shopping cart (store) and the house (property) icons. Open the team selection menu, pick your new role, and respawn at that team's base. You can switch mid-session without rejoining the server.

Switching teams resets your spawn location and loadout but not your cash balance. Plan vehicle spawns after switching — you cannot access Border Patrol interceptors while on Civilian, or civilian economy tools while on enforcement teams.

Choosing the Right Team

New players benefit from trying Civilian, Border Patrol, Police, and Coast Guard before committing Robux. Our Team Comparison page ranks all eight teams by playstyle, difficulty, income potential, and social interaction level. Police is the best free land-enforcement income path; Coast Guard owns the water; premium teams suit veterans who want tactical gear.
