BEGINNER WALKTHROUGH
A step-by-step roadmap from an empty wallet to your first Rebirth — every number on this page is cross-checked against the Fandom Wiki and Beebom (last checked September 19, 2026).

Review Methodology: Character prices, income rates and the Rebirth 1-17 table are compiled with AI-assisted research and cross-checked against multiple sources including the Steal a Brainrot Fandom Wiki, Beebom, GameRant and Sportskeeda. Conflicting source values are shown side by side instead of averaged, and any figure we could not verify is explicitly labeled as unverified. Follows Editorial Standards.

1Initial Launch: Your First $10K
When you first spawn into Steal a Brainrot, your wallet is empty. Start by buying the cheapest Red Carpet units and let their income compound: Noobini Pizzanini ($25, $1/s), Tim Cheese ($500, $5/s), Fluriflura ($1K, $7.5/s) and Talpa Di Fero ($1.5K, $10/s). Within minutes you can afford Pipi Kiwi ($2.5K, $15/s) and the Rare layer starting with Trippi Troppi ($3.5K, $20/s).
Open the Codes menu on the left panel and try the currently active code BESTBRAINROTEVER, which spawns La Vacca Saturno Saturnita — a Secret unit earning $7.5K per second — on the Red Carpet. Codes are capped on a first-come basis, so it may already be exhausted; there is no other public code right now.
2Fortifying Your Base: Real Gear That Defends
Other players can freely carry away your characters if your base is left unguarded. Three cheap shop items carry the early game: the Slap ($500) knocks intruders back harder than your default bat, the Speed Coil ($750) raises your walk speed by 50% so you can chase thieves, and the Trap ($1K) freezes a thief for 7 seconds — up to five Traps can be active on the map at once.
Once you hit Rebirth 1 you unlock the Iron Slap ($2.5K), Gravity Coil ($3K) and Bee Launcher ($10K), which reverses a hit player's controls for 5 seconds. Every Rebirth level also adds +10 seconds to your base lock time and one extra base slot (Rebirth 1 is the only exception that grants no slot). Keep expensive units such as La Vacca Saturno Saturnita deep inside your base rather than at the gate.
3Raiding Mechanics: Executing Clean Heists
Stealing is the core PvP mechanic. Watch the player list for AFK owners whose base defenses are idle, then grab a high-value unit and sprint along the perimeter fence line rather than the open road. Remember the two verified rules of the mid-heist Rebirth interaction: a Brainrot that is being stolen disappears if its owner rebirths, and one still walking to your base is returned to the Red Carpet.
Good early steal targets are Legendary units like Ballerina Cappuccina ($60K purchase, $350/s) and Chef Crabracadabra ($65K, $400/s). Secret units spawn with a server-wide chat announcement — if you see one, expect heavy competition, since La Vacca Saturno Saturnita is the most commonly seen Secret.
4The Rebirth Flywheel: Numbers Only
Rebirth 1 costs $500K (some players report a $1M threshold) and requires Trippi Troppi plus Gangster Footera on your base — the slot originally held by Tung Tung Tung Sahur, which was removed from the game entirely after a Noxa copyright claim and is no longer obtainable. Rebirth 1 pays a $5K bonus and applies a permanent x0.5 income multiplier that stacks multiplicatively with later levels: x1 at Rebirth 2, x2 at Rebirth 3, all the way to x17 at Rebirth 17.
Because rebirthing wipes your current cash, the optimal pattern is to rebirth immediately after a big purchase, not before one. Rebirth 2 ($1.5M) needs Boneca Ambalabu and Brr Brr Patapim and unlocks the Gold Slap, Coil Combo and Rage Table in the Gear shop. See the full Rebirth guide for all 17 verified levels.
