The Mexico Event drops seven new units, and the headline act is the only Brainrot God of the update: Dug Dug Dug –a chunky drum-on-legs inspired by the Indonesian bedug used to mark the end of fasting.
He looks goofy, hits your wallet hard, and becomes an instant steal-magnet. Here’s the no-nonsense path to getting him.
TL;DR – Fast Facts
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Rarity | Brainrot God |
| Best ways to get | Craft Machine (primary) • Steal from another player |
| Craft machine rotation | Recipes refresh every 30 minutes |
| Craft time | ~45 minutes once you start the job |
| You’ll need | 1× Extinct Ballerina • 3× Matteo* (see notes below) |
| Where is the machine? | Plaza center, right next to the Shop |
Recipe note: Most servers list “Matteo” (the regular unit). If your machine explicitly says Extinct Matteo, follow what your machine shows—the on-screen recipe is the source of truth.
Method 1 : Craft Dug Dug Dug
The old Fuse Machine is gone –the Craft Machine runs the show now. This is the cleanest, most reliable way to secure Dug Dug Dug if you can assemble the parts.
Step-by-step
1. Find the Craft Machine
In the middle plaza beside the Shop. Interact to open the recipe list.
2. Wait for the recipe rotation (every 30 min).
If Dug Dug Dug isn’t listed, hang around or server-hop. Set a timer so you don’t miss the next rotation.
3. Load the materials:
- 1× Extinct Ballerina
- 3× Matteo (or “Extinct Matteo” if your machine specifically says so)
- Pay the craft fee shown on your server (budget a big chunk of cash).
4. Start the craft — ~45 minutes.
Stay in the server (or keep the job tracked) until the timer ends, then collect your Dug Dug Dug.
Where to get the parts (quick sourcing plan)
Spawns from the Extinct Event (runs on a timer every ~2 hours).
Watch the red carpet and buy instantly when she appears. You can also steal from other bases if someone beats you to the purchase.
Matteo (regular)
Typically obtained from the conveyor like other standards, event spawns, or trading.
If your recipe requires Extinct Matteo, you’ll need to farm the Extinct Event instead. Again, trust the recipe text shown by your machine.
Pro tips for crafting
- Hold the parts in your base before the rotation so you can slam the recipe the second it appears.
- Private/low-pop servers are safer to keep the craft running for 45 minutes without being hassled.
- Set alarms for the 30-minute rotations; missing one rotation often costs you hours.
Method 2 : Steal Dug Dug Dug (High risk, often faster)
If gathering components is a nightmare, do what the title says – steal.
Here is how:
-
Server-hop & scout for bases that already have Dug Dug Dug.
-
Study defenders: where they idle, how their traps are placed, and which entrances are weak.
-
Gear up: event candy weapons, hard CC (e.g., tase/throw), and movement boosts help a ton.
-
Create a distraction: bait them to the belt, or attack a different target first.
-
Commit: dash in, grab Dug Dug Dug, leave immediately –don’t fight inside their maze.
-
Secure at home: lock doors, set traps, and collect income ASAP.
Stealing success = your ping + your route + their attention span. Pick easier bases over fortified ones.

After You Get Him – Keep Him Safe
Trap the foyer (bearings, shock, or slow tiles).
Line-of-sight blockers to kill throw/tase angles.
Collect money often so failed steals don’t also rob your time.
Don’t AFK in public with the door open—Dug Dug Dug is a prime target this week.
Troubleshooting & FAQs
1. “My recipe shows Extinct Matteo instead of Matteo.”
That’s normal –recipes can vary by rotation. Always follow the text on your own machine.
2. “The recipe disappeared.”
Recipes refresh every 30 minutes. You didn’t miss it forever—wait for the next cycle or server-hop.
3. “Craft timer cancelled when I swapped servers.”
Avoid swapping mid-craft. If you must leave, confirm whether your progress persists on your account in your current version; safest path is to stay put until it completes.
Final Words
Crafting is the consistent route (if you can gather 1× Extinct Ballerina and 3× Matteo and survive the 45-minute wait).
Stealing is faster but volatile, perfect when you spot a sloppy base.
Either way, securing Dug Dug Dug during the Mexico Event will put your base on the map, just be ready for the wave of thieves who’ll try to drum him right back out of it.
