Steal a Brainrot guide: rarities, rebirths and how to steal
Steal a Brainrot guide for November 2026: every rarity tier's income, all 19 rebirth costs, mutation and trait multipliers, and how to steal and defend.
Checked against Update 73 on 1 Nov 2026. We re-test every guide after major updates; if something changed, tell us.
Steal a Brainrot is still the biggest thing on Roblox as of November 2026, with well over 100,000 people in-game at any hour and more than 74 billion lifetime visits. This Steal a Brainrot guide covers what the game never explains: what each rarity tier earns, how mutations and traits stack, what every rebirth costs, and how to steal without losing your own base in the process. Every number below was checked against live game data and the community wiki during the Halloween updates (69 to 73).
Verified against Update 73 (31 October 2026). Steal a Brainrot ships a new update almost every Saturday, so prices and income values shift often. The community update log is the quickest place to confirm what changed this week.
How Steal a Brainrot works
Every server holds up to 8 players, each with a base. Brainrots walk along the red carpet through the middle of the map, and you buy one by standing in front of it and paying its cash price. Once it reaches your base it fills a slot and earns cash every second.
The twist is in the name. Any brainrot in an unlocked base can be picked up and carried home by another player. Your base lock shields it for 60 seconds at Rebirth 0, so the game becomes a rhythm of buying, relocking and sprinting across the map for something better.
The developer is SpyderSammy under the BRAZILIAN SPYDER group, with DoBig Studios as the studio behind it. The game launched on 16 May 2025 and, per Wikipedia, became the first Roblox experience to pass 25 million concurrent players in October 2025. If you enjoy this loop, Steal An Egg runs the same steal-and-defend formula with a different theme.
Steal a Brainrot rarity tiers explained
There are eight core rarities plus a few limited admin and seasonal ones (Admin, Taco, Spooky, Festive and the holiday lucky blocks). Brainrot God and rarer spawns are announced out loud, so you hear a good spawn before you see it.
| Rarity | Brainrots | Carpet price | Base income |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | 12 | $25 – $1.7K | $1 – $14/s |
| Rare | 12 | $2K – $9.7K | $15 – $75/s |
| Epic | 20 | $10K – $47.5K | $75 – $325/s |
| Legendary | 26 | $35K – $347.5K | $200 – $1.9K/s |
| Mythic | 41 | $350K – $6.2M | $2K – $18.7K/s |
| Brainrot God | 100 | $5M – $47.5M | $19K – $323K/s |
| Secret | 200+ | $80M – $425B | $315K – $425M/s |
| OG | 6 | $450B – $1T | $450M – $1B/s |
Commons make up roughly 55% of carpet spawns and Mythics about 10%. Secret is now the largest tier because every event, fuse machine and lucky block adds to it, so "Secret" no longer means "good" on its own: Los Treaters at $1.2M/s and Dragon Skeletonini at $325M/s share the same label.
OG is deliberately tiny. The six are Strawberry Elephant ($750B, $750M/s), Meowl ($600M/s), Headless Horseman ($600M/s), John Pork ($500M/s), Skibidi Toilet ($450M/s) and the $1B/s Spyder Elephant, which only appears when the Robux-priced Spyder Chain is in stock.
Tip: Judge a brainrot by its dollars-per-second, not its badge. Cola Cat, a Brainrot God, was buffed to $160M/s in Update 71 and beats dozens of older Secrets.
Income, slots and luck
A fresh base has 10 slots; the second floor (Rebirth 2) takes you to 11–18 and the third (Rebirth 10) to 19–25. Slots are the limit, so the skill is replacing your weakest earner whenever something better walks by.
Luck multiplies your odds of rarer carpet spawns: 2x (249 R$), 4x (499 R$) and 8x (2,999 R$) are permanent, while tiers up to 35x only come from admin events and benefit the whole server. Free event spawns (dig parts, candy, lucky blocks) skip the carpet RNG entirely, and you can also redeem the latest free codes for event brainrots.
Mutations: one per brainrot
A mutation recolours a brainrot and multiplies its base income. Each brainrot holds exactly one. Three roll on the carpet permanently; the rest come from limited events that run for a few weeks at a time.
| Mutation | Multiplier | How you get it |
|---|---|---|
| Gold | 1.25x | About 10% of carpet spawns |
| Diamond | 1.5x | About 5% of carpet spawns |
| Bloodrot | 2x | Bloodmoon event (admin) |
| Candy | 4x | Candy Aurora event (admin) |
| Lava | 6x | Molten event |
| Galaxy | 7x | Galactic event |
| Yin Yang | 7.5x | Yin Yang event |
| Radioactive | 8.5x | Radioactive event |
| Cursed | 9x | Cursed event |
| Rainbow | 10x | About 1% of carpet spawns; boosted by the Rainbow Machine |
| Divine | 10x | Divine event (can also roll the Halo trait) |
| Cyber | 11x | Cyber event (April 2026) |
| Phantom | 12x | Phantom event (June 2026) |
| Crystal | 13x | Crystal event (July 2026) |
| Eclipse | 14x | Eclipse event, hourly on weekends and every two hours on weekdays since Update 69 |
Eclipse, added on 3 October 2026, is the current top mutation. The wiki's mutation table lists it at 14x while its event page says 13.5x; either way an Eclipse Secret is exactly what thieves scan bases for.
Mutations also feed the Index: own 75% of all obtainable brainrots in one mutation and you unlock its base skin plus a permanent 0.5x income bonus. Gold and Diamond are the realistic targets.
Traits and the income formula
Traits are the second modifier, and one brainrot can hold several. They come from admin events, rituals, seasonal boards and weather. The wiki's formula:
Income = Base × (Mutation multiplier + Trait 1 + Trait 2 + …)
So a $1M/s brainrot with Diamond (1.5x), Skeleton (3x) and UFO (2x) earns $1M × 6.5 = $6.5M/s. Traits add inside the bracket rather than multiplying each other, so a cheap trait on a high-base Secret beats a rare trait on a Legendary. Values worth knowing:
- OG traits: Strawberry 8x, Meowl 7x, John Pork 6.5x, Skibidi 6x; they only drop during the matching OG event.
- Admin traits: Fire, Nyan, Fireworks, Brazil, Lightning and Rose 5x; Granny 5.5x; Sombrero, Indonesian, Zombie and Glitched 4x.
- Ritual traits: Paint 5x, Tie 3.75x, Matteo Hat and Spider 3.5x, Galactic, Explosive and Shark Fin 3x.
- Halloween 2026: Jack O'Lantern Pet 4.5x, RIP Gravestone 3.5x, Witch Hat and Skeleton 3x.
- Weather: Comet-struck 2.5x, Snowy, UFO and Taco 2x, Wet 1.5x.
Common mistake: Sleepy is a display trait at 0.5x applied after everything else, so a Sleepy brainrot is a downgrade however good it looks on the carpet.
Every rebirth: cost, required brainrots and rewards
Rebirthing resets your cash to a fixed bonus and takes only the listed requirement brainrots (since Update 66 it no longer wipes your base). You get a permanent multiplier, 10 more seconds of lock, usually a slot, and new gear. There are 19 rebirths as of Update 73; the 19th arrived on 15 August 2026.
| Rebirth | Cash | Required brainrots | Notable reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $500K | Trippi Troppi + Gangster Footera | Friend controller, Iron Slap, Gravity Coil |
| 2 | $1.5M | Boneca Ambalabu + Brr Brr Patapim | Second floor, Gold Slap |
| 3 | $12.5M | Trulimero Trulicina + Chimpanzini Bananini | Grapple Hook, Taser Gun |
| 4 | $35M | Chef Crabracadabra + Glorbo Fruttodrillo | Invisibility Cloak |
| 5 | $100M | Frigo Camelo + Orangutini Ananassini | Medusa's Head |
| 6 | $350M | Bombardiro Crocodilo | Web Slinger |
| 7 | $1B | Bombombini Gusini | Quantum Cloner, All Seeing Sentry |
| 8 | $5B | Te Te Te Sahur | Nuclear Slap |
| 9 | $12.5B | Cocofanto Elefanto | Laser Cape |
| 10 | $125B | Girafa Celestre | Third floor, Body Swap Potion |
| 11 | $800B | Tralalero Tralala | Paintball Gun |
| 12 | $3.5T | Odin Din Din Dun | Magnet |
| 13 | $14T | Trenostruzzo Turbo 3000 | Beehive |
| 14 | $40T | Trippi Troppi Troppa Trippa | Subspace Mine |
| 15 | $100T | Pakrahmatmamat | Heatseeker |
| 16 | $1Qa | Los Tralaleritos | Attack Doge |
| 17 | $2Qa | Job Job Job Sahur + Chicleteira Bicicleteira | Giant Potion |
| 18 | $10Qa | Graipuss Medussi | Flash Teleport |
| 19 | $30Qa | La Grande Combinasion | Grief Guard, 19x multiplier |
Prices are current per the wiki's rebirth table; several were cut in 2026 (Rebirth 1 was $1M, Rebirth 14 was $100T), so older videos quote higher numbers. Check the in-game panel before committing: a requirement still on the carpet or being carried does not count.
Rebirths 5 to 16 each need one brainrot, so the real wall is cash. Requirements do not have to be bought: stealing a Girafa Celestre is a legitimate route to Rebirth 10. Grab the next requirement when you see it, park it on your top floor, and rebirth during a quiet stretch rather than mid-event.
How to steal in Steal a Brainrot
Walk into an unlocked base, touch a brainrot, and you carry it. The owner gets an alarm, your walk speed drops about 41% (34 to 20), your jump falls 40%, and you cannot use gear until you drop it or reach home. That is why most steals fail at the door.
- Scout the lock timersPick a base whose countdown is about to expire and whose owner is away; a Rebirth 0 base relocks for only 60 seconds.
- Take from the floor nearest the exitClimbing to the third floor doubles your exposure and most high-rebirth bases keep turrets on the stairs.
- Carry, do not fightYou cannot slap while carrying. If the owner catches you, drop it and leave; coming back costs nothing, dying costs the trip.
- Use movement gear before the grabGravity Coil, Grapple Hook and Web Slinger work until the pickup, so position with them first.
- Lock as you arriveHit the lock the instant the brainrot is placed. The chase ends when the shield goes up, not when you reach the door.
Only two things cannot be stolen: anything inside a locked base, and the Spyder Elephant. Event, admin and machine-exclusive brainrots are all fair game.
Defending your base
The shield lasts 60 seconds plus 10 per rebirth, plus a flat 10 with VIP, so a Rebirth 10 VIP player gets 170 seconds. Relock the moment it expires, and treat time in the shop or chat as time your base is open.
- Highest earners on the top floor, cheapest ones nearest the door. Thieves grab what they can reach first.
- Buy a slap early. Iron Slap at Rebirth 1 knocks a carrier off your stairs; every tier up to Glitched Slap at Rebirth 10 hits harder and farther.
- Lock first, then chase. Running out of an open base invites a second thief in behind you.
Common mistake: Carrying a steal past your own open door while you look for a slot. Place first, lock second, rearrange later.
Halloween 2026: what Updates 69 to 73 added
October was a five-week Halloween season and most of it is still live:
- Update 69 (3 Oct): the Eclipse mutation and event, 11 new brainrots, and the Haunted Fuse, which replaced the Craft Machine. It fuses four brainrots into a themed one, from a Common Tartaragno up to Secrets like Los Treaters.
- Update 70 (10 Oct): new base skins and the Skull Lucky Block. It costs $500M or two dig parts, and its table runs from Candi Corni (32.4%, $321K/s) to Flying Dutchman (0.5%, $92.5M/s) and Dragon Skeletonini (0.1%, $325M/s).
- Update 71 (17 Oct): the Skeleton event, hourly on weekends and every two hours on weekdays, which applies skeleton traits and spawns Co Co Co Sahur, Chicken Zombie and the rare Skelly and Coffy.
- Update 72 (24 Oct): the Grave Hunt. Buy a shovel, dig up brainrot parts and combine them: Skul Skuli Skuli needs 2 parts and drops often; Spooketti Tualetti needs 5 parts at roughly a 1% part rate and is the Secret on the game's current thumbnail.
- Update 73 (31 Oct): the Trick or Treat event, which turns the map into a night-time neighbourhood around a haunted mansion, plus the Headless Merchant selling Spooky Kart (1K Candy Corns), Jacko Jakat (3.5K), Scorpi Inferni (7.5K) and Puppetmaster (12.5K), each with a Robux price and limited stock. The wiki lists the merchant as open through 1 November.
If you only have one evening, dig: Grave Hunt parts are free, the Skull Lucky Block comes from the same event, and even the common results are Secret-tier earners for a low-rebirth base. Event times and leaks land first in the official Discord. Grow a Garden runs on a similar Saturday cadence, and the two games' August 2025 "admin war" remains Roblox's biggest traffic day.
Steal a Brainrot is free on the Roblox game page on PC, mobile, tablet and console. For patch coverage, codes and more guides, see the Steal a Brainrot hub.
FAQ
What is the best brainrot in Steal a Brainrot right now?
By raw income it is the Spyder Elephant OG at $1B/s, then the Strawberry Elephant at $750M/s. Among brainrots you can realistically get this month, Dragon Skeletonini from the Skull Lucky Block earns $325M/s, and any Secret with an Eclipse mutation out-earns most OGs without one.
How many rebirths are there in Steal a Brainrot?
Nineteen as of Update 73. Rebirth 19 costs $30Qa plus a La Grande Combinasion and gives a 19x multiplier and the Grief Guard. Rebirth 2 unlocks your second floor and Rebirth 10 your third.
Can you have more than one mutation on a brainrot?
No. Each brainrot holds a single mutation but can carry several traits. Traits add to the mutation multiplier before the total is applied to base income.
How long does the base lock last?
Sixty seconds at Rebirth 0, plus 10 seconds per rebirth and a flat 10 seconds for VIP. The lock is the only thing that makes a brainrot unstealable, so relock the instant the timer ends.
Is the Halloween event still running?
Partly. The wiki lists the Headless Merchant and Trick or Treat event as ending 1 November 2026, while the Eclipse event, Skeleton event and Grave Hunt have no announced end date. Expect the next Saturday update to start phasing the season out.
