How the Rocket Event Works?
The Plants vs Brainrots Rocket Event transforms the usual Central Island area into a festive fireworks hub where your primary objective is to find and launch 50 fireworks to unlock a comprehensive reward track. Unlike previous events, this Rocket Event offers more frequent and better rewards, making it one of the most rewarding end-of-year events in the game.
When you first log in during the event period, you’ll meet Grande Explodito on Central Island who explains the event mechanics and introduces you to the new Del Blingo 2026 collection item. This event replaces the typical holiday workshop area with a dedicated fireworks launching zone.
Finding Fireworks: Complete Location Guide
Where Fireworks Spawn?
Fireworks appear randomly across all islands in the server, not just your own. Here’s what you need to know about finding them efficiently:
- Random Spawning: Fireworks spawn every few minutes across the map
- Visual Indicator: Each firework is marked with a yellow exclamation icon for easy identification
- Limited Spawns: Only a limited number of fireworks spawn at any given time
- Cross-Island Spawning: Fireworks can appear on your island or other players’ islands
Pro Tips for Finding Fireworks Faster
- Server Hopping Strategy: Move between different islands frequently instead of waiting for spawns on your own island
- Team Coordination: Work with other players to cover more ground and locate fireworks quickly
- Spawn Pattern Recognition: Fireworks tend to spawn in similar locations, so learn the hotspots
- Peak Times: More fireworks spawn during high server activity periods
How to Launch Fireworks: Step-by-Step Process
Prerequisites
- Any bat (all bats work equally well)

Step-by-Step Launch Process
- Locate a Firework: Look for the yellow exclamation mark (!) on any island
- Equip Your Bat: Make sure you have any bat equipped in your hotbar
- Position Yourself: Stand close to the firework for optimal hitting
- Hit 50 Times: Each firework has exactly 50 HP, and every bat deals 1 damage per hit
- Launch Confirmation: After 50 hits, the firework will launch into the sky

Important Mechanics to Remember
- Bat Damage is Fixed: All bats deal exactly 1 damage per hit, regardless of upgrades or rarity
- No Other Weapons Work: Only bats can damage fireworks – no other gears or weapons are effective
- Hit Count is Exact: It always takes exactly 50 hits to launch one firework

Critical Shop Price Reset Mechanic
Here’s the game-changing strategy most players miss: The shop uses a doubling price system where each purchase makes the next cost twice as much. However, completing all 50 Rocket Event tiers resets ALL shop prices back to their original base costs!
This makes the Rocket Event essential, not optional. You’re not just earning rewards from the track itself, but also unlocking massive savings in the shop. Always complete at least one full reward track before spending big in the shop.

Once you complete all 50 rocket launches, you can reset the entire event for additional rewards:
