What is Arcadopus?

In the chaotic world of Steal a Brainrot, units range from common meme characters to overpowered deities. Arcadopus falls into the latter category. Visually, it resembles a retro, pixelated octopus glitching out of an arcade machine.

Why do you want it?
Simply put, Damage output. Arcadopus doesn’t just hit one enemy; it deals massive Area of Effect (AoE) damage in a cone pattern in front of it. This makes it invaluable for maps where enemies swarm in tight groups (like “The Brainwash” or “Infinite”). Its special ability, “Glitch Wave,” slows down enemies while chipping away their health, giving your other towers more time to attack.

How To Get Arcadopus: Step-by-Step Guide

Getting Arcadopus isn’t about finding a hidden chest; it’s about the Gacha system. You need to summon it. Here is the exact process you need to follow in March 2026.

Prerequisites

Before you even think about summoning, ensure you have:

Unlocked the Summoning Plaza: This usually unlocks after you beat the first world or reach Level 10.
Currency: You need the specific currency for the Arcade Egg. This is usually not standard Robux, but an in-game earned token.

Step 1: Locate the Arcade Egg

Once you have loaded into the game, head to the Summoning Area. This is usually the central hub where players spawn.

Look for the neon signs overhead.
Navigate to the section labeled “Events” or “Limited.”
Find the egg labeled “Arcade Egg.” It usually has a pixel-art style design surrounding it.

Pro Tip: The location of the egg changes during major updates. If you can’t find it in the main hub, check the “Teleport” menu on the left side of your screen for an “Event” option.

Step 2: Farm Arcade Tokens

This is the part that takes time. You cannot get Arcadopus without currency.

Play Story Mode: The most consistent way to earn tokens is by replaying levels on Hard difficulty.
Infinite Mode: While harder, Infinite Mode drops token bundles every 5 waves. If you have a decent team, this is faster.
Daily Quests: Don’t ignore the quest board! Often, the game will give you free tokens just for logging in or using a specific unit 50 times.

I recommend grinding Level 5 (Hard). It has a high density of enemies and gives a decent token reward per minute.

Step 3: The Summoning Process

Now for the moment of truth.

Walk up to the Arcade Egg.
Interact with it (Tap or Click).
You will see a prompt to “Roll” for 1x or “Roll” for 10x.
- Single Roll: Good if you are just short of cash.
- 10x Roll: Always do this if you can afford it. While it doesn’t mathematically increase the percentage (RNG is RNG), it saves time and is much more satisfying.
Watch the animation. If you see a lot of purple and pixelated glitch effects, you might have gotten lucky!

Step 4: Duping and Upgrading

If you get Arcadopus once, don’t stop. You need duplicates to upgrade him.

1 Copy: Unlocks the unit.
2 Copies: Upgrades to Level 2 (Increases Damage).
6-8 Copies: Usually maxes out the ability or evolves the unit (depending on the current patch balance in 2026).

Advanced Strategies: Maximizing Your Chances

Since the drop rate for Arcadopus is less than 1%, relying purely on luck can be frustrating. Here are the strategies I use to maximize efficiency.

1. The “Token Farming” Loadout

Don’t go into a farming mission with your experimental team. Use a proven loadout to clear stages fast so you can get back to summoning.

Early Game: Use cheap, fast-spawning units to hold the line.
Late Game: Place high-damage units (like the ones you get from Best Roblox Tower Defense Games 2026) near the end of the path.

2. Codes for Free Currency

Developers often release codes that give free rolls or currency. While I can’t guarantee a code for Arcade Tokens specifically (as they change weekly), always check for active Steal a Brainrot codes. A single code could give you 5 extra rolls, which might be the lucky ones you need. Check our Steal a Brainrot Codes March 2026 page for the latest list.

3. Trading with Other Players

Is Arcadopus tradable? In most Steal games, Mythical units obtained from eggs are tradable after a holding period (usually 7 days).

The Strategy: If you have duplicates of other Mythicals (like a second “Titanium Brain” or “Meme God”), you can trade them for Arcadopus.
The Scam Warning: Never go first in a trade unless the other party has high rep or uses a middleman. There are many scammers in Roblox trading hubs.

Arcadopus Stats & Abilities (Deep Dive)

Why is this unit S-Tier? Let’s break down the numbers so you know where to place him on the map.

Base Stats (Level 1):

Damage: 1,500 (Per tick)
Range: 15 Tiles (Long range)
Cooldown: 8 Seconds
Placement Cost: $1,200 (In-game money)

Ability: Glitch Wave
Every 3rd attack, Arcadopus releases a digital wave.

Effect: Deals 300% damage to all enemies in the cone.
Secondary Effect: Applies a “Lag” status effect, slowing enemies by 40% for 4 seconds.

Best Placement:
Do not place Arcadopus at the very start of the map. He needs time to charge his ability. Place him on corners or near the end of the map where he can catch the bulk of the swarming enemies. His high range allows him to hit enemies on multiple straight paths if the map is tight enough.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

I see players making these errors constantly when trying to get Arcadopus. Avoid these to save your sanity.

1. Selling Low-Tier Units Too Early
When farming for currency, don’t sell your low-tier units immediately. You might need them as fodder for your team economy in the early waves. Selling them too early can leave a gap in your defense, causing you to lose the wave and the token reward.

2. Ignoring Unit Synergy
Arcadopus is great, but he isn’t a solo carry. He needs support. Pair him with:

Buffer Units: Units that increase damage (e.g., “Commander Brain”).
Money Farmers: Units that generate cash so you can afford more Arcadopus placements.

3. Spending Robux Impulsively
You might see a “Guaranteed Mythical” offer in the shop for Robux. Be careful. These bundles are often not worth it compared to just grinding the game. Unless you are desperate, save your Robux for game passes that increase global drop rates or gold multipliers.

Troubleshooting: I Can’t Find The Egg!

If you have followed the steps but cannot find the Arcade Egg, check the following:

Event Status: Is the event still active? Check the official Discord. Sometimes eggs are removed for a season and brought back later.
Server Lag: Sometimes objects in the Roblox world take a while to load. If you are on a slow connection, the egg might be invisible. Try rejoining.
Game Update: Did you just update? Sometimes major updates reset the map locations. Watch a YouTube video from the current week (March 2026) to see the visual location.

FAQ’s

Is Arcadopus worth grinding for in 2026?

Yes. Even with newer units being released, Arcadopus remains one of the most reliable Mythical units for general PvE and Infinite Mode thanks to its strong slow effect and high damage potential.

What are the exact odds of getting Arcadopus?

The developers have not officially published the rates, but community data suggests about a 1% chance to pull any Mythical unit. Since Arcadopus is one of four Mythicals in that egg pool, the estimated chance per roll is around 0.25%.

Can I get Arcadopus from the Standard Egg?

No. Arcadopus is exclusive to the Arcade Egg. Spending tokens on Standard or Gold Eggs will not give you a chance to obtain it.

Does Arcadopus have an Evolution?

As of the March update, Arcadopus does not have a fusion evolution. However, you can increase its power by using duplicates to add Stars, which raise its level cap and damage multipliers.

What is the best map to farm tokens for the Arcade Egg?

Infinite Mode – Wave 20 is currently the most efficient farming point. It is relatively easy to reach with a basic team, provides a solid token reward, and allows for quick resets to repeat the process.

Conclusion

Getting Arcadopus in Steal a Brainrot is a marathon, not a sprint. It’s going to take some grinding, some luck, and a solid strategy to farm those tokens efficiently. But once you see that pixelated octopus glitching across the screen and decimating waves of enemies, you’ll know it was worth it.

Remember to use the codes we list to get a head start, and make sure you are placing him correctly to maximize his AoE damage. Good luck, and happy grinding in 2026!
