First steps after spawning
Step
You spawn with $100 and a weapon already in hand. The game points you toward buying your first Brainrot, and once it is sitting in your base it starts earning cash on its own. Common Brainrots cost between $25 and $1,700, so your starting cash is enough to get one immediately.
- Buy a Brainrot spend your starting $100 at the shop as soon as you spawn.
- Place it in your base a Brainrot only earns money when it is inside your base.
- Collect cash pick up the money it generates and reinvest it into better Brainrots or upgrades.

Stealing from other players
TipsStealing is the core loop for making real progress once your starting cash runs out. You can enter another player's base after it unlocks, but your movement slows, your inventory closes, and the base owner gets a notification the moment you go in.
- Target Brainrots that are a higher tier, generate more income, carry useful mutations, or are in high demand from traders.
- Use the Invisibility Cloak to scout a base and wait for the right moment without tipping off the owner.
- Team up with a friend — one person creates a distraction while the other goes in and grabs the Brainrot.
- Watch out for the open-base trap — some players deliberately leave their base open to lure you in while someone raids yours.
- If caught in the open-base trap, clone out of the base, body swap them when they are outside, or respawn.
- If someone is using the map wall to escape with your Brainrot, use the Grappling Hook to reach them quickly and hit them with a Boogie Bomb before they get back.
Defending your base
CheckOnce you have valuable Brainrots, other players will come for them. The third floor is the strongest defensive position because players cannot jump over or go around traps placed there. If your base is about to unlock and a crowd is waiting, a Boogie Bomb clears them faster and more reliably than Medusa's Head.
- Place three to five traps directly on your laser door while it is still locked thieves cannot reach them until the door opens, and when it does they are frozen for seven seconds.
- Combine an All-Seeing Sentry with a Beehive or Bee Stinger and a Subspace Tripmine near the second-floor gate to overwhelm anyone who pushes in.
- Keep a Boogie Bomb ready for moments when multiple players rush at once its wider range and shorter cooldown make it better than Medusa's Head for crowd situations.
- Drop traps onto a ragdolled player to extend how long they stay down.
- Use the Quantum Cloner to return to your base instantly from anywhere on the map.
- Avoid public servers with strangers if you are holding rare Brainrots.
Items worth knowing
Table
Every item fills a different role, and carrying the wrong one for a situation is as bad as carrying nothing. Swap freely depending on whether you are attacking, defending, or just moving around the map.
| Speed Coil vs. Invisibility Cloak | the Cloak moves you faster than the Coil and hides you at the same time. |
| Gravity Coil vs. Grappling Hook | the Hook is more versatile overall, but the Coil lets you reach higher ground by jumping in a direction first and then switching to it mid-air. |
| Medusa Head vs. Boogie Bomb | Medusa requires no aim and stuns quickly but has a long cooldown and short range; the Boogie Bomb covers more area and recharges faster, so use Medusa only when nothing better is available. |
| Web Slinger | extremely strong when a teammate can follow up on an incapacitated target, but less useful alone because you have to keep holding it. |
| Rage Table | its long windup makes it hard to land in open areas, so save it for confined spots like the corridors behind bases. |
Mutations and traits
Tips
Mutations change a Brainrot's appearance and multiply its income. Unlike traits, a Brainrot can only carry one mutation at a time. Traits stack on top of mutations and can appear multiple times on the same Brainrot. The formula is: base income multiplied by the mutation multiplier, plus each trait's flat multiplier added on top.
- Gold mutation gives 1.25x income — the most common mutation, with a 10% chance to spawn on the Red Carpet.
- Diamond mutation gives 1.5x income — 5% chance to spawn on the Red Carpet.
- Rainbow mutation gives 10x income — only 1% chance to spawn naturally, but the Rainbow Machine Event raises that chance.
- Divine mutation also gives 10x income and additionally has a chance to grant an exclusive Halo trait, making it slightly better than Rainbow in practice.
- Cyber mutation gives 11x income, and Phantom gives 12x — both are limited and only obtainable through Admin Abuse events.
- If you want a trait on a Brainrot during an event, keep it moving on the Red Carpet and avoid sending it to your base until it gets the trait, because once it enters your base it cannot gain any more traits or mutations.
- Collecting 75% of all obtainable Brainrots of a single mutation type unlocks a unique skin for your base.
The Craft Machine
StepThe Craft Machine lets you combine two Brainrots you already own to produce a different one. This is one of the main ways to obtain Secret-rarity Brainrots that rarely or never appear on the Red Carpet. Before selling a spare Brainrot, check whether it is a required ingredient for a craft.
- Gather the two required Brainrots each recipe calls for specific characters, so confirm what you need before starting.
- Place both ingredients in the Craft Machine and confirm the craft.
- Collect the result the crafted Brainrot goes straight to you; place it in your base to start earning.
The Rebirth system
Summary
Rebirth resets all your money and every Brainrot you own, but permanently raises your cash multiplier and gives you one extra base slot. There are up to 18 Rebirth stages. Your base gains a second floor at Rebirth 2 and a third floor at Rebirth 10. The biggest cost is losing rare Brainrots, but you can sidestep that loss by having a trusted friend steal your valuable characters before you Rebirth and return them afterward. Do this in a private server to stop strangers from grabbing them first.
- What you lose all cash and every Brainrot currently in your possession.
- What you gain one permanent cash multiplier increase and one extra base slot per Rebirth.
- Second floor unlocked at Rebirth 2.
- Third floor unlocked at Rebirth 10.
- Maximum stage Rebirth 18, giving an 18x cash multiplier.
- Asset preservation have a trusted friend steal your rare Brainrots before you Rebirth, then steal them back after.
- Private server advantage strangers cannot intercept the handoff during asset preservation.
- Spend before resetting buy all the permanent upgrades you can before triggering Rebirth so no cash goes to waste.
Codes and where to use them
TipsThe developers release redeem codes through their official channels. You enter them in the dedicated code field inside the game's menu, which moved to a dedicated GUI button as of June 13, 2026. Codes are case-sensitive, have expiry dates, and cannot be reused on the same account. The current working codes are listed at the top of this page automatically.
- Open the in-game menu and find the code input field before trying to type anything.
- Enter the code exactly as shown — a single wrong letter will cause it to fail.
- Each code works only once per account, so do not try a code you have already used.
- Codes expire, so use any new code right away rather than saving it for later.

Common questions
FAQHow do you stop someone who is stealing from the edge of the map wall?
Use the Grappling Hook to reach them quickly, then hit them with a Boogie Bomb before they make it back to their base. A Coil Combo works too but takes longer to set up.
What do you do if someone uses Body Swap Potion on you?
Place a trap on yourself before they can swap. When they trigger the Body Swap, they land in your trap and get stuck. After that, using Body Swap Potion on them sends you straight back to your own base.
How do you leave the game safely if someone is raiding your base?
On PC, use the Roblox leave button rather than the in-game X button, because closing through the game itself causes a two-to-five second delay before you actually disconnect. On mobile, do not close the app with the menu bars for the same reason.
How do you get a trait on a Brainrot during an event?
Keep the Brainrot on the Red Carpet for as long as possible — once it enters your base, it can no longer gain traits or mutations. If you need to buy it to stop it despawning, have a friend buy it back and forth to keep it on the carpet until it picks up the trait.
Is it worth Rebirthing if you have rare Brainrots?
Use asset preservation first — have a trusted friend steal your rare Brainrots in a private server, then Rebirth, and steal them back afterward.
