Admin abuse, or as the community jokingly calls it, the chaos button, is one of the biggest highlights in Steal a Brainrot. These developer-triggered events turn the game upside down, filling the map with falling tacos, firestorms, rainbow trails, or even surprise concerts.
For new players, it’s not always clear when admin events happen, or which ones are worth chasing.
This guide explains when admin abuse takes place, how to catch it today, and the full list of admin events with the rare traits and mutations they drop.
When Does Admin Abuse Happen?
Admin events don’t run all the time like normal weather events. They’re special sessions controlled by the developers, and they usually happen at set times:
- Fridays before updates
Every Friday, just before the next Steal a Brainrot update, the developers run admin abuse events. This is the most reliable time to catch them.
- Special Discord announcements
If you’re in the official Steal a Brainrot Discord, watch the bombardiro-news channel. Developers post event schedules or sneak in surprise announcements there.
- Random surprise events
Sometimes, the devs simply trigger admin abuse out of nowhere. These short bursts are less predictable but can give you rare traits like Lava or Rainbow.
- Taco Tuesday
Every Tuesday at 2 PM PT, you’ll find the guaranteed Taco Tuesday event, where taco brainrots spawn at 3x rate. If you’ve read our Brainrot Traits & Mutations guide, you’ll know Taco trait links into some powerful combos and even secret brainrots.
Tip: If you’re chasing traits like Lava, Rainbow, Candy, or Matteo, your best bet is logging in Fridays and checking announcements daily.

For example:
- Lava + Rainbow are must-haves if you want to maximize mutation multipliers.
- Candy + Bubblegum tie into special event machines that can unlock secrets.
- Concert, Crab, and Brazil traits often resell higher in trading circles because of their rarity.

Update: Steal a Brainrot ADMIN WAR Event: Galaxy Mutation, New Brainrots, & Rewards (August 2025) –
Event starts on Saturday, August 23 at 10:00 AM EST and runs until Friday, August 29 at 10:30 PM EST.
All Weather Events in Steal a Brainrot
Weather events happen more often and last longer than admin abuse. They’re simpler, but they still apply traits that boost your multipliers.
1. Rain
One of the regular weather events. Raindrops fall from the sky, and random Brainrots gain the Rain trait (2.5x). A steady, common event that helps beginners boost income.
2. Snow
When Snow begins, the lobby turns white, and you can scoop snowballs to throw at other players — freezing them for fun. Meanwhile, Brainrots on the conveyor may pick up the Snow trait (3x).
3. Starfall
A rarer weather event. Shooting stars streak across the sky and crash into Brainrots, applying the Starshine trait (3.5x). It’s less frequent than Rain or Snow, making it more valuable.
All Admin Events in Steal a Brainrot
These are the real showstoppers. Admin abuse events bring chaos, rare traits, and even secrets you won’t find anywhere else.
1. Lava
The sky burns red, and Lava-mutated Brainrots glow bright orange on the conveyor.
Lasting about 15 minutes, this event gives a 6x chance of spawning Lava traits. It’s one of the most profitable events for multipliers.
2. Rainbow
A rainbow arcs across the sky and occasionally lands on Brainrots, instantly applying the Rainbow mutation.
During this event, spawn chances shoot up by 10x, making it the prime time to grab one.
3. Blood Moon
Once a classic, now retired. The Blood Moon turned the sky crimson for 15 minutes, granting the Bloodrot mutation (2x).
Old players still talk about it, but you won’t see it in current rotations.
4. Asteroid
Asteroids streak down from space, smashing into Brainrots and giving them a glowing purple aura.
The event also had a unique ritual where three La Vacca Saturnos could summon a rare Las Vaquitas Saturnitas. Traits gained here are 4x more common.
5. Taco Rain
Straight out of Grow a Garden — “It’s Raining Tacos” plays, and tacos fire from a cannon over the conveyor.
Any Brainrot hit gains a taco symbol. Spawn chance for taco traits is 3x.
6. Nyan Cat
The map darkens, and flying Nyan Cats zip across the sky, leaving rainbow trails. Every so often one crashes into a Brainrot, giving the Nyan Cat trait (6x).
These Brainrots also leave rainbow trails when stolen.
7. Crab Rave
The lobby transforms into a beach, “Crab Rave” plays, and dancing crabs attack. Pinched Brainrots gain the Crab trait (5x). Crabs can also chase players, adding chaos.
8. Tung Tung Attack
Tiny Tung Tung Tung Sahurs swarm like a zombie outbreak. Brainrots they strike gain glowing red eyes and the Tung Tung trait (4x).
Even players aren’t safe during this event.
9. 4th of July
Firework launchers blast rockets across the map. Any Brainrot hit by one gets the Firework trait (6x). A bright, festive event.
10. Candy
Every 2 hours 44 minutes, the Candy event spawns Candy-mutated Brainrots.
During the Bubblegum update, players could collect them to power a machine that granted the Bubblegum trait (4x).
11. Glitch
The entire map corrupts into a glitchy black void with static overlays.
Brainrots that fall into glitch holes return with the Glitch trait (5x). This trait not only looks cool but boosts money per second.
12. Bombardiro
Bombardiro Crocodilos soar above, dropping explosive Svinina Bombardinos.
Brainrots hit gain the Bombardiro trait (4x). A ritual involving three players and Crocodilos can summon a secret Los Crocodillitos.
13. Solar Flare
A blazing sun fires solar waves across the lobby.
Any Brainrot caught gets the Fire trait (5x), and players near the blast are knocked back.
14. Brainrot Concert
The stage lights up, music blasts, and Tung Tung Sahur, Tralalero, and Chimpanzini take over.
Brainrots on the belt gain the Concert trait (5x) while players dance under lasers.
15. 10 Billion Celebration
To celebrate 10B visits, fireworks filled the sky.
Brainrots randomly got the 10B trait (3x), and a thank-you message appeared overhead.
16. Orcalero (Shark Fin)
The map floods underwater with sharks and orcas. Conveyor Brainrots can gain the Shark trait (3x).
A ritual can summon a Los Orcalitos during the event.
17. Matteo
Triggered by stacking three Matteo Brainrots together. A tree spawns, thunder rolls, and a Los Matteo appears.
Other Brainrots gain the Matteo trait (5x).
18. Brazilian Concert
Phonk music takes over, and the lobby turns into a rave.
Brainrots acquire the Brazil trait (6x) during this high-energy event.
