Three Main Acquisition Methods
Method 1: Buy Taco Blocks (Most Reliable)
Taco Blocks are your most consistent path to Taco Brainrots during Taco Tuesday events. Here’s what you need to know:
- Cost: $50,000,000 per block
- Availability: Spawns randomly on conveyor belt during Taco Tuesday
- Success Rate: RNG-based but guaranteed to contain Taco Brainrots
- Best For: Players with substantial cash reserves
Pro Strategy: Save your money throughout the week and avoid unnecessary spending. When Taco Tuesday starts at 5 PM EST, you’ll want to have at least $500 million ready to purchase multiple blocks and increase your chances of getting rare Secret-tier Brainrots.
Method 2: Taco Tuesday Spawns (Targeted Approach)
This method involves working with the game’s spawn systems during Taco Tuesday events:
- Sammy Spawns: Feed Fat Sammy to trigger Taco Brainrot spawns
- Taco Truck System: Submit existing Brainrots to spawn specific Taco units
- Best For: Targeting high-value Brainrots like Chillin Chili or La Taco Combinasion
Advanced Tip: The Taco Truck system is particularly valuable when you’re missing specific high-tier Brainrots. By submitting lower-value Taco Brainrots, you can increase the spawn rate of the ones you actually need.
Method 3: Stealing from Other Players (High Risk, No Cost)
This method requires stealth and timing but costs no money:
- Scouting: Monitor bases during Taco Tuesday events
- Timing: Strike when owners are offline or distracted
- Escape: Use traps and gear for quick getaways
- Risk: High chance of retaliation and base security systems
Safety Note: Always scout your targets carefully and have an escape route planned. The best targets are usually inactive players who won’t notice the theft immediately.
Advanced Speed Strategy: The 75-Minute Taco Base Run
Based on extensive testing, I’ve developed a three-phase approach that consistently unlocks the Taco Base in under 75 minutes. Here’s the breakdown:
Phase 1: The Bulk Rush (Minutes 0-20)
Goal: Go from 0 to 10 indexed Taco Brainrots
Actions:
- Wait for the update to fully apply (ensure counter is visible)
- Open all Taco-themed blocks, packs, or event drops you currently have
- Focus on quantity over quality – duplicates don’t matter at this stage
- Use any saved Taco Blocks immediately
Logic: This frontloads the easy indexes and builds momentum. Don’t worry about getting specific items yet – just generate volume and get your counter moving.
Phase 2: The Assessment (Minutes 20-45)
Goal: Go from 10 to 16 indexed Taco Brainrots
Actions:
- Stop random farming and check your current index count
- Switch to “Missing-Only Mode” – focus only on items you don’t have
- Mix half-farming and half-server hopping for better results
- Start coordinating with friends or guild members
Strategy: Random farming now has diminishing returns. You need to be more strategic about which items you pursue.
Phase 3: The Sniper Hunt (Minutes 45-75)
Goal: Go from 16 to 20 indexed Taco Brainrots
Actions:
- Create a physical or mental list of specific missing Brainrots
- Target individual items using the Taco Truck system or trades
- If a target hasn’t appeared in 10-15 minutes, switch servers immediately
- Use the Borrow-Index-Return method for the final items
Critical Logic: Late-game progress is bottlenecked by one or two specific items. Farming everything at this stage is extremely inefficient.
The Borrow-Index-Return Method (Game-Changing Strategy)
This is the single most important technique for unlocking the Taco Base quickly, especially when working with a team:
The Collaboration Protocol
| Role | Action | Risk Management |
|---|---|---|
| Supplier | Brings rare Taco Brainrot from alt/main inventory | Keep track of who has which items |
| Indexer | Picks up item to register index (+1) | Immediately drop or trade back |
| Host | Maintains private server or stable instance | Prevent random players from stealing items |
Solo Player Alternative
If you’re playing solo, simulate this method using alt accounts:
- Log in to alt accounts with stored Taco Brainrots
- Drop items for your main account to index
- Immediately return items to alt account
- Repeat until you reach 20/22
Key Insight: You don’t need to permanently own every Taco Brainrot – you just need to “touch” them to register the index. This mindset shift is the difference between a 60-minute clear and an all-night struggle.
Common Problems and Solutions
The Ghost Index Problem
Symptom: You pick up items, but your count stays flat.
Causes:
- Picking up items you already indexed in current session
- Server lag or desync issues
Solutions:
- Check your list to ensure unique pickups
- Rejoin the game to refresh the counter
- Verify you’re picking up “Taco” category items specifically
The Endgame Stall (19/20 for 30+ Minutes)
Symptom: Stuck at 19/20 despite continuous farming.
Cause: RNG bottleneck – waiting for a 1% drop rate item.
Solution:
- STOP random farming immediately
- Switch to borrowing from friends or server hopping
- Use the Taco Truck system to target specific missing items
- Consider trading for the final item
The Inventory Panic
Symptom: Thinking you must give away valuable items to make space.
Reality: You only need to “register” items, not keep them permanently.
Solution: Trade items to friends and ask for them back immediately. Do this one item at a time to avoid confusion.
Decision Triggers: When to Change Tactics
Use these “If… Then…” rules to avoid wasting time:
- If you’re under 10/20: Prioritize high-volume sources. Quantity beats quality here.
- If you’re at 17-19/20: STOP random farming entirely. Hunt specific missing Brainrots.
- If your inventory is full: Clear space before opening packs. Missing pickups due to “Inventory Full” errors are preventable delays.
- If the index count isn’t moving: Verify you’re picking up “Taco” category items and that the server is updated. Rejoin if necessary.
How to Claim and Verify Your Taco Base
Once you hit 20/22, act immediately to avoid losing progress:
Step-by-Step Claim Process
- Confirm: Open your index and verify it reads exactly “20”
- Claim: Click the claim button for the Taco Base immediately
- Equip: Place or preview the base to confirm the unlock persisted
- Save: Rejoin the game once to ensure profile data saves to cloud
If Claim Fails
- Take a screenshot showing your 20/22 count
- Note the time, server ID, and exact count
- Rejoin the game and try again
- Most “didn’t save” issues are just visual glitches in the current session

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to find all 22 Taco Brainrots?
A: No! You only need 20 out of 22. This buffer exists specifically so you don’t get stuck on the 1-2 rarest items. If the final two are too difficult to find, ignore them and claim your base.
Q: I indexed Taco Brainrots in a previous update. Why is my count at zero?
A: Updates often introduce new tracking systems. If your count starts low despite past progress, treat this as a “re-index run” and use the Borrow & Return method to regain progress quickly.
Q: Is it faster to farm solo or with a squad?
A: Solo is fine for the first 10 indexes, but once you hit the 15-19 range, coordination is significantly faster. A squad can split up to find different servers or trade items to fill each other’s gaps.
Q: What’s the best way to help a friend unlock it without losing my items?
A: Use the “Index then Return” rule. Hand them the item, watch their counter go up, and have them hand it back immediately. Do this one item at a time to avoid confusion or scams.
Q: When does Taco Tuesday start?
A: Every Tuesday at 5 PM EST. Mark your calendar and be ready to start immediately.
Q: Can Taco Brainrots be stolen?
A: Yes, unless your base security stops them. Make sure to invest in good base protection before the event.
Final Thoughts
The Taco Base chase rewards planning more than raw grinding. When you treat it like a checklist – bulk farming first, targeted hunting second, and borrowing last – you’ll consistently finish faster and with less frustration.
Remember that the 20/22 requirement gives you flexibility. Don’t get stuck trying to get the absolute rarest items if you can reach 20 with more accessible options. The Taco Base is about strategic thinking, not just persistence.
Next time you log in for Taco Tuesday, don’t just run around hoping for spawns. Build your missing list, check your phase, use your team, and follow the strategies outlined in this guide. Good luck with your 20/22 race!
