S-Tier Mutations: The Game-Changers
Rainbow Mutation (10x Multiplier)
The Rainbow mutation is the holy grail of Steal a Brainrot mutations. With a staggering 10x income multiplier, this mutation can turn even a basic Brainrot into a money-printing machine. When you see a Rainbow mutation on the conveyor belt, you should seriously consider buying it regardless of the Brainrot’s base tier.
Visual Changes: Rainbow mutations create a stunning rainbow-colored aura around your Brainrot, making them instantly recognizable and highly coveted by other players.
How to Obtain: Rainbow mutations can spawn naturally on the conveyor belt, but they’re extremely rare. Your best bet is to purchase the Server Lucky Boost for 249 Robux, which doubles your chances of getting rare mutations.
Pro Tip: During special Rainbow Machine events (admin-triggered), the spawn rate for Rainbow mutations increases dramatically. Keep an eye on the official Steal a Brainrot Twitter for event announcements!
Strawberry Mutation (8x Multiplier)
The Strawberry mutation offers an incredible 8x income multiplier, making it the second-best mutation available in the game. What makes this mutation special is that it’s tied to one of the rarest Brainrots in the game – the Strawberry Elephant.
Visual Changes: Your Brainrot will be covered in a strawberry texture with a stem hat, making it look like a walking strawberry.
How to Obtain: This mutation only appears when a Strawberry Elephant spawns on your server. Given that the Strawberry Elephant is one of the rarest Brainrots in the game, getting this mutation is incredibly difficult.
Strategy: If you see a Strawberry Elephant with the Strawberry mutation, do everything in your power to obtain it. Even if you need to spend a significant amount of in-game currency, the 8x multiplier will pay for itself many times over.
Yin Yang Mutation (7.5x Multiplier)
The Yin Yang mutation provides a massive 7.5x income boost and is only available during special Yin Yang events. This mutation is particularly valuable because it can stack with other traits for incredible income potential.
Visual Changes: Brainrots with this mutation display a beautiful Yin Yang symbol and have a balanced black and white color scheme.
How to Obtain: Only available during Yin Yang events, which are typically admin-triggered. These events are rare, so you’ll want to participate whenever they’re announced.
Insider Knowledge: During Yin Yang events, the entire server gets a boost to mutation spawn rates, so even if you don’t get the Yin Yang mutation itself, you might find other high-tier mutations during these events.
A-Tier Mutations: Excellent Income Boosters
Lava Mutation (6x Multiplier)
The Lava mutation is one of the best mutations you can realistically obtain through normal gameplay. With a 6x multiplier, it offers substantial income improvements and is much more common than S-tier mutations.
Visual Changes: Your Brainrot will appear to be made of molten lava, with glowing red and orange colors and occasional fire particle effects.
How to Obtain: Lava mutations can spawn naturally on the conveyor belt. While still rare, they’re much more common than Rainbow or Strawberry mutations.
Pro Strategy: Combine a Lava mutation with high-tier traits like Paint (6x) or Brazil (6x) for potential 12x multipliers. This stacking strategy is how top players achieve massive income rates.
Glitch Mutation (6x Multiplier)
The Glitch mutation offers the same 6x multiplier as Lava but comes with unique visual effects and different availability. This mutation is particularly popular among players who enjoy the cyberpunk aesthetic.
Visual Changes: The affected Brainrot will have glitchy, digital-looking effects with pixelation and data corruption visuals.
How to Obtain: Available during Glitch events where the map turns black and glitch-themed. Brainrots can fall into glitch holes to receive this mutation.
Community Tip: Glitch events are often accompanied by increased spawn rates for other rare Brainrots, making these events particularly valuable for multiple reasons.
Galaxy Mutation (6x Multiplier)
The Galaxy mutation provides another 6x income boost and is tied to one of the most visually stunning events in the game. During Galaxy events, the entire server gets a cosmic makeover.
Visual Changes: Brainrots with this mutation shine with a beautiful purple aura and appear to be made of starlight.
How to Obtain: Available during Galaxy events, which can be triggered by having three players steal La Vacca Saturno Saturnitas and form a triangle. These events can also be admin-triggered.
Special Note: During Galaxy events, the mutation multiplier increases to 7x, making it even more valuable during these specific times.
B-Tier Mutations: Solid but Limited
Celestial Mutation (4x Multiplier)
The Celestial mutation offers a respectable 4x income boost but is unfortunately no longer available through normal means. This mutation was popular during the early days of the game but has since been discontinued.
Visual Changes: Affected Brainrots would have a heavenly, glowing appearance with star-like particle effects.
Current Status: Only available if spawned by an admin during special events. Don’t expect to see this mutation in normal gameplay.
Candy Mutation (4x Multiplier)
The Candy mutation was another popular 4x multiplier mutation that has since been discontinued. It was particularly popular during holiday events and had a fun, festive appearance.
Visual Changes: Brainrots would be covered in colorful candy textures with sweet-themed particle effects.
Current Status: Admin-only spawn, similar to Celestial. However, you can check out our detailed guide on how to get the Candy mutation for more information on admin events.
C-Tier and D-Tier Mutations: Basic Boosts
Bloodrot Mutation (2x Multiplier)
The Bloodrot mutation offers a modest 2x boost and is another discontinued mutation. It was primarily available during Bloodmoon events, which used to occur on a regular schedule.
Visual Changes: Affected Brainrots would turn red and have a somewhat spooky appearance.
Current Status: Admin-only spawn during special Bloodmoon events.
Diamond Mutation (1.50x Multiplier)
The Diamond mutation is one of the most common mutations available, offering a modest 1.50x income boost. While not exciting, it’s better than nothing and can be found relatively frequently.
Visual Changes: Brainrots appear completely blue with a diamond-like crystalline texture.
How to Obtain: Spawns naturally on the conveyor belt. One of the most common mutations you’ll encounter.
Strategy: While Diamond mutations aren’t game-changing, they’re worth picking up on expensive Brainrots since even a small boost on a high-income character can add up over time.
Gold Mutation (1.25x Multiplier)
The Gold mutation is the most basic mutation available, offering just a 1.25x income boost. It’s the most common mutation you’ll find on the conveyor belt.
Visual Changes: Affected Brainrots appear completely golden with a metallic sheen.
How to Obtain: Spawns naturally on the conveyor belt. You’ll see this mutation frequently.
Advice: Only pick up Gold mutations if they’re on very expensive Brainrots or if you’re just starting out and need any boost you can get.
Complete Traits Guide: Beyond Basic Mutations
Now, let me dive into the comprehensive world of traits in Steal a Brainrot. Traits are different from mutations in that they’re typically obtained through events, rituals, or admin interactions rather than spawning naturally on the conveyor belt.

| Trait | Multiplier | How to Obtain | Visual Changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Snowy | 3x | Natural snowfall event | Snowflakes on Brainrot |
| Taco | 3x | Admin Taco event (Raining Tacos) | Taco on head |
| Starfall | 3.5x | Natural event with falling stars | Yellow and blue sparks |

| Starfall | 2.5x | Natural starfall event | Yellow and blue sparks |
| Bloodmoon | 2x | Admin Bloodmoon event | Red coloration |
How to Calculate Your Total Income Multiplier?
One of the most important mechanics in Steal a Brainrot is understanding how mutations and traits stack together. Unlike many games where multipliers multiply each other, in Steal a Brainrot, they simply add up!
The Formula:
Total Income per Second = Base Income × (Sum of All Mutation and Trait Multipliers)Example Calculations:
- Basic Setup:
- Base Brainrot Income: $1,000/second
- Gold Mutation (1.25x)
- Total: $1,000 × 1.25 = $1,250/second
- Intermediate Setup:
- Base Brainrot Income: $10,000/second
- Lava Mutation (6x) + Snowy Trait (3x)
- Total: $10,000 × (6 + 3) = $10,000 × 9 = $90,000/second
- Advanced Setup:
- Base Brainrot Income: $100,000/second
- Rainbow Mutation (10x) + Paint Trait (6x) + Brazil Trait (6x)
- Total: $100,000 × (10 + 6 + 6) = $100,000 × 22 = $2,200,000/second
Pro Tip: This additive system means that stacking multiple smaller multipliers can often be more effective than having one large multiplier. For example, a Lava mutation (6x) plus a Paint trait (6x) gives you 12x total, which is better than a single Rainbow mutation (10x).
2026 Advanced Strategies for Maximum Income
Now that you understand all the mutations and traits, let me share some advanced strategies that top players use to maximize their income:
1. The Stacking Strategy
The most effective way to maximize income is to stack multiple high-value traits and mutations. Here’s how to do it:
Target Combination: Rainbow Mutation (10x) + Paint Trait (6x) + Brazil Trait (6x) = 22x total multiplier
How to Achieve This:
- First, obtain a Rainbow mutation on a high-income Brainrot
- Participate in Paint events by organizing with other players
- Join Brazil admin events (these are quite common)
Income Impact: A base income of $50,000/second becomes $1,100,000/second with this combination!
2. Event Farming Strategy
Different events have different spawn rates for traits and mutations. Here’s how to farm efficiently:
High-Priority Events:
- Rainbow Machine Events: Highest chance for Rainbow mutations
- Galaxy Events: 7x Galaxy mutations instead of 6x
- Paint Events: 6x trait that’s relatively easy to obtain
Event Schedule:
- Natural events (Rain, Snow, Starfall): Occur randomly
- Timed events (Halloween, Extinct): Every 2 hours
- Admin events: Follow official Twitter for announcements
3. Server Luck Optimization
Server luck is crucial for obtaining rare mutations. Here’s how to maximize it:
Free Methods:
- Play with friends (group luck bonus)
- Participate in community events
- Join during peak hours when more players are active
Paid Methods:
- Server Lucky Boost (249 Robux): Doubles server luck for everyone
- 2x Luck Gamepass: Increases your personal luck
- 4x Luck Gamepass: Stacks with 2x for maximum personal luck
Pro Tip: If you’re serious about getting rare mutations, the Server Lucky Boost is worth every Robux. It benefits everyone on the server, making you popular and increasing your chances of finding trading partners.
4. Trading and Community Strategies
The Steal a Brainrot community is huge, and trading is essential for obtaining the best mutations:
Trading Tips:
- Join the official Steal a Brainrot Discord for trading
- Value mutations based on their multipliers and rarity
- Be willing to overpay slightly for S-tier mutations
Community Events:
- Participate in server-wide rituals for trait events
- Help other players complete formations (they’ll often return the favor)
- Share information about rare mutation spawns
How to Obtain Specific Mutations and Traits?
Let me break down exactly how to obtain the most sought-after mutations and traits:
Obtaining Rainbow Mutations
Method 1: Natural Spawn
- Buy Server Lucky Boost (249 Robux)
- Wait for Rainbow mutations on conveyor belt
- Be prepared to buy immediately when they appear
Method 2: Rainbow Machine Events
- Follow official Twitter for event announcements
- Join servers during Rainbow Machine events
- Spawn rates are significantly increased during these events
Success Rate: Without boosts, approximately 0.1% spawn rate. With Server Lucky Boost, approximately 0.2%. During Rainbow Machine events, up to 5% spawn rate.
Obtaining Strawberry Mutations
Challenge: This is the most difficult mutation to obtain because it requires the rarest Brainrot in the game.
Requirements:
- Strawberry Elephant must spawn on your server
- The elephant must have the Strawberry mutation
- You need enough currency to purchase it
Strategy:
- Join multiple servers and check for Strawberry Elephants
- If you find one, be prepared to spend significant amounts
- Consider trading with other players who have Strawberry mutations
Obtaining High-Value Traits
Paint Trait (6x):
- Requirements: 2 Chicleteira Bicicleteiras
- Method: Both players grab their Chicleteiras and stand at the cave
- Success: Run alongside the cave to trigger the event
Brazil Trait (6x):
- Requirements: Admin event
- Method: Join during Brazil events (relatively common)
- Visual: Brazilian flag particles on Brainrot
Galaxy Trait (4x/7x):
- Requirements: 3 La Vacca Saturno Saturnitas
- Method: Form triangle formation to summon event
- Bonus: During Galaxy events, multiplier increases to 7x
Common Mistakes to Avoid
After playing Steal a Brainrot extensively and analyzing countless player strategies, I’ve identified several common mistakes that hold players back:
1. Ignoring Low-Tier Mutations on High-Value Brainrots
The Mistake: Skipping a Gold or Diamond mutation because it’s “only” a 1.25x or 1.50x boost.
Why It’s Wrong: On a Brainrot that generates $1,000,000/second, even a 1.25x boost means an extra $250,000/second. That’s significant!
Correct Approach: Always consider the base income of the Brainrot, not just the mutation multiplier.
2. Not Participating in Community Events
The Mistake: Playing solo and ignoring server-wide events and rituals.
Why It’s Wrong: Many of the best traits can only be obtained through coordinated community efforts.
Correct Approach: Join the Discord, participate in server events, and help other players complete formations.
3. Wasting Resources on Low-Value Brainrots
The Mistake: Spending all your currency on expensive mutations for low-income Brainrots.
Why It’s Wrong: A 10x multiplier on a $1,000/second Brainrot ($10,000/second total) is worse than a 2x multiplier on a $100,000/second Brainrot ($200,000/second total).
Correct Approach: Focus on getting good mutations on your highest-income Brainrots first.
4. Not Understanding Multiplier Stacking
The Mistake: Thinking that multipliers multiply each other (10x × 6x = 60x) when they actually add (10x + 6x = 16x).
Why It’s Wrong: This leads to incorrect income calculations and poor strategic decisions.
Correct Approach: Always add multipliers when calculating potential income.

FAQ: Steal a Brainrot Mutations
What’s the rarest mutation in Steal a Brainrot?
The Strawberry mutation is currently the rarest mutation in the game. It only appears when a Strawberry Elephant spawns with the mutation, and given that the Strawberry Elephant is one of the rarest Brainrots, this combination is extremely uncommon. Most players will never see a Strawberry mutation in their entire gameplay experience.
How do I increase my chances of getting rare mutations?
There are several ways to increase your chances:
- Buy Server Lucky Boost (249 Robux) – doubles server luck
- Play with friends – group luck bonus
- Join during events – many events increase spawn rates
- Use luck gamepasses – 2x and 4x luck boosters
- Play during peak hours – more players = more chances
Can mutations stack with traits?
Yes! Mutations and traits stack additively in Steal a Brainrot. This means if you have a Rainbow mutation (10x) and a Paint trait (6x), your total multiplier is 16x (10 + 6), not 60x (10 × 6). This stacking system makes it valuable to collect multiple mutations and traits.
What’s the difference between mutations and traits?
Mutations are enhancements that appear naturally on the conveyor belt when Brainrots spawn, while traits are obtained through events, rituals, or admin interactions. Mutations typically change the Brainrot’s color or material, while traits add special effects or auras. Both provide income multipliers that stack together.
Are discontinued mutations like Bloodrot still available?
Discontinued mutations like Bloodrot, Celestial, and Candy are only available if spawned by an admin during special events. They cannot be obtained through normal gameplay anymore. However, admins sometimes bring these back during anniversary events or special celebrations.
How much does Server Lucky Boost cost?
The Server Lucky Boost costs 249 Robux and doubles the luck for everyone on the server. It’s one of the best investments you can make if you’re serious about obtaining rare mutations, as it benefits all players and often leads to more trading opportunities.
What’s the maximum possible multiplier in the game?
The current maximum known multiplier is 22x, achieved by combining:
- Rainbow mutation (10x)
- Paint trait (6x)
- Brazil trait (6x)
This combination would turn a $100,000/second Brainrot into a $2,200,000/second income generator!
Do mutations transfer if someone steals my Brainrot?
Yes, mutations and traits are permanent properties of the Brainrot itself. If someone steals your mutated Brainrot, they get all the benefits of the mutations and traits. This is why mutated Brainrots are highly valuable targets for stealing.
How often do admin events occur?
Admin events don’t have a fixed schedule, but they’re most common during:
- Weekends and holidays
- Game update launches
- Special celebrations (like reaching visit milestones)
- When developers are actively playing
Following the official Steal a Brainrot Twitter is the best way to stay informed about upcoming events.
Can I get multiple mutations on one Brainrot?
No, each Brainrot can only have one mutation at a time. However, they can have multiple traits in addition to their mutation. For example, a Brainrot could have a Rainbow mutation (one mutation) plus both Paint and Brazil traits (multiple traits).

Mastering mutations and traits in Steal a Brainrot is the key to dominating the game’s economy. While getting the rarest mutations like Rainbow and Strawberry requires patience and often some Robux investment, the income boost they provide is absolutely worth it.
