Steal a Brainrot Guide: Rebirths, Base Lock, Stealing

Steal a Brainrot is a Roblox tycoon game from the BRAZILIAN SPYDER group: you buy Brainrot characters off the Red Carpet with Cash, park them in your base where they earn money every second, lock your base against thieves, steal from other players and rebirth for bigger multipliers and more slots. As of November 12, 2026, the game is on Update 74, released November 7, and it still drew close to 97,000 concurrent players on Roblox that day. This guide covers how the Red Carpet works, Brainrot rarities, protecting your base, stealing, the rebirth requirements, mutations and traits, and the weekly update schedule.

Checked against the official Steal a Brainrot Roblox page and the Steal a Brainrot Wiki update log (Update 74) on November 12, 2026.

Rarity ranges, rebirth requirements and multipliers below come from the community-run Steal a Brainrot Wiki, which tracks each weekly update. The developers change rebirth costs and requirements from time to time, so treat exact numbers as current for Update 74.

How do you play Steal a Brainrot?

The loop has five steps, and the game's own Roblox page lists them in this order: buy a Brainrot, steal Brainrots from other players, generate money, rebirth, and use slaps and troll gear on other players.

1. Buy from the Red Carpet. Brainrots walk out of a cave and down the carpet. Pay their price in Cash and they walk to your base.
2. Collect income. Each Brainrot earns Cash every second, which builds up on its collection plate in your base until you collect it.
3. Lock your base. The lock keeps other players out for a limited time.
4. Steal and defend. Grab Brainrots from unlocked bases and carry them home, and slap thieves away from yours.
5. Rebirth. Trade Cash and specific Brainrots for a higher income multiplier, more slots and new gear.

Selling a Brainrot from your base returns half of its original price, which is useful when you need a slot for something better. You also earn a small amount of Cash while offline: the wiki puts it at about 3% of your normal rate, and it stops accumulating about five hours after you leave.

How does the Red Carpet work in Steal a Brainrot?

Any Brainrot on the carpet can be bought by anyone who can afford it, and the purchase is not final until it reaches your base. While your new Brainrot is walking home, another player can buy it out from under you for 150% of its base price, and it turns around and heads to their base instead.

That rule shapes how you buy: keep some Cash in reserve so you can outbid a player who intercepts your purchase, since the same 150% rule applies to them. When a Brainrot God, Secret, Lucky Block or OG spawns, the game announces it; OG spawns are also shown to every server on the Live Spawns panel near the entrance. Expect a crowd at the carpet after one of those announcements.

Lucky Blocks also come down the carpet. They can be bought and stolen like Brainrots, earn nothing on their own, and open after a timer into one of several possible Brainrots.

What are the Brainrot rarities?

There are eight main rarities, from Common to OG. Higher rarities spawn less often, cost more and earn far more per second. The wiki counts 557 indexable Brainrots in total.

Rarity	Brainrots	Income per second	Price
Common	12	$1 to $14	$25 to $1.7K
Rare	12	$15 to $75	$2K to $9.7K
Epic	20	$75 to $325	$10K to $47.5K
Legendary	26	$200 to $1.9K	$35K to $347.5K
Mythic	41	$2K to $18.7K	$350K to $6.2M
Brainrot God	100	$19K to $323K	$5M to $47.5M
Secret	200+	$315K to $425M	$80M to $425B
OG	6	Up to $750M (base form)	$450B to $750B

Commons make up about 55% of carpet spawns, according to the wiki. Early on, the fastest progress comes from filling every slot with the best Brainrot you can afford, then replacing the weakest one each time your income jumps.

How do you protect your base in Steal a Brainrot?

Lock your base whenever you leave it or see a thief coming. The lock lasts 60 seconds at the start and gains 10 seconds with every rebirth, so higher rebirths buy you more breathing room.

When someone grabs one of your Brainrots, the game sounds an alarm and names the Brainrot being taken. A thief carrying a Brainrot is slowed from a walk speed of 34 to 20 (about 41% slower), jumps 40% lower and cannot use gear, so you can usually catch them before they reach their base. The wiki's advice is to lock first if your base is open, because chasing one thief while the door stays open invites several more.

Floor	Slots	Rebirths
1	10	0-1
2	11-18	2-9
3	19-25	10-19

Keep your best Brainrots on the highest floor you have. Rebirth 2 adds a second floor and Rebirth 10 a third, and Brainrots on upper floors are harder to steal. Avoid joining other players' fights in the open; the wiki warns that bystanders often get slapped around and lose time.

How do you steal a Brainrot?

Walk into an unlocked base, pick up a Brainrot and carry it back to your own base before the owner stops you. The owner is alerted the moment you grab it, and once you deliver it they get a second message naming you and the Brainrot.

• Watch the lock timers. A base is only open once its lock runs out, so the best moment is right after the timer ends while the owner is away.
• Plan the route. You move slowly and cannot use gear while carrying, so the shortest path matters more than speed items.
• Use gear before you grab. Slaps knock defenders away, and rebirths unlock tools such as the Grapple Hook, Invisibility Cloak and Web Slinger in the shop.
• Know the limits. A few special Brainrots cannot be stolen at all, and if the base owner rebirths while you are carrying their Brainrot, it disappears.

Slaps are the first gear most players buy. The basic Slap costs $500, the Iron Slap $2.5K at Rebirth 1, the Gold Slap $15K at Rebirth 2 and the Diamond Slap $50K at Rebirth 3, with stronger slaps unlocking up to Rebirth 11.

What are the Steal a Brainrot rebirth requirements?

Each rebirth needs a set amount of Cash plus specific Brainrots in your base. Rebirthing takes those Brainrots and most of your Cash, and in return raises your cash multiplier, adds a slot (every rebirth except the first) and unlocks new shop gear. The game currently goes up to Rebirth 19.

Rebirth	Cash	Brainrots required	Multiplier	New gear
1	$500K	Trippi Troppi, Gangster Footera	x0.5	Iron Slap, Gravity Coil, Bee Launcher
2	$1.5M	Boneca Ambalabu, Brr Brr Patapim	x1	Gold Slap, Coil Combo, Rage Table
3	$12.5M	Trulimero Trulicina, Chimpanzini Bananini	x2	Diamond Slap, Grapple Hook, Taser Gun
4	$35M	Chef Crabracadabra, Glorbo Fruttodrillo	x3	Emerald Slap, Invisibility Cloak, Boogie Bomb
5	$100M	Frigo Camelo, Orangutini Ananassini	x4	Ruby Slap, Medusa's Head
6	$350M	Bombardiro Crocodilo	x5	Dark Matter Slap, Web Slinger
7	$1B	Bombombini Gusini	x6	Flame Slap, Quantum Cloner, All Seeing Sentry
8	$5B	Te Te Te Sahur	x7	Nuclear Slap, Rainbowrath Sword
9	$12.5B	Cocofanto Elefanto	x8	Galaxy Slap, Laser Cape
10	$125B	Girafa Celestre	x9	Glitched Slap, Body Swap Potion

Each rebirth also adds a small Cash bonus after the reset, starting at $5K for Rebirth 1. Collect the next rebirth's Brainrots before you have the Cash, since the Brainrots are usually the slower part. Past Rebirth 10 the costs climb into trillions and quadrillions, and Rebirth 19 needs 30Qa and La Grande Combinasion.

How do mutations and traits increase income?

Mutations and traits multiply what a Brainrot earns. A Brainrot can have only one mutation, but it can carry several traits, and each trait adds its own multiplier on top.

Mutation	Income multiplier
Gold	1.25x
Diamond	1.5x
Bloodrot	2x
Candy	4x
Lava	6x
Galaxy	7x
Yin Yang	7.5x
Radioactive	8.5x
Cursed	9x
Rainbow, Divine	10x
Cyber	11x

Gold is the most common mutation and Diamond comes next. Regular mutations can show up through hourly events, while most traits only appear during admin events. The wiki's example: a Brainrot earning $65M per second with a Cyber mutation (11x) and one 5x trait reaches a 16x multiplier.

The Index rewards collecting. Owning 75% of Brainrots in the Default, Gold, Diamond or Rainbow versions completes that index and adds a permanent 0.5x base multiplier, and the mutation indexes also unlock matching base skins.

When do Steal a Brainrot updates come out?

New updates usually arrive every Saturday at about 3 PM Eastern, followed by an admin event that runs for 30 to 60 minutes. A separate Taco Tuesday admin event happens on Tuesdays at 6 PM Eastern.

Update	Date	Headline content
Update 69	October 3, 2026	Haunted Fuse and the Eclipse mutation
Update 70	October 10, 2026	New bases and the Skull Lucky Block
Update 71	October 17, 2026	Spooky Scary Skeletons event
Update 73	October 31, 2026	Headless Merchant and a Trick or Treat event
Update 74	November 7, 2026	New Red Carpet Brainrots, including Balloon Baboon and Bling Luming

Admin events are the best time to be online. Hosts can raise server luck, spawn rare Brainrots and add traits that are hard to get otherwise. Update 75 is listed on the wiki with no date yet.
