Getting started with Unbox a Brainrot

Overview

Official cover art for the game (Image via Roblox)

In Unbox a Brainrot, you receive a hammer for breaking open crates that contain characters. After each crate is smashed open, the character inside it is added to your roster.

The resilience of the featured crate depends on its rarity; the rarer it is, the more hits it takes to be broken. Once you’ve cracked it open, the character that pops out occupies one of the empty spaces on your plot.

This character, known as a Brainrot, has a money earn rate assigned to it. This rate is determined by both its rarity and the Mutation applied to it. The Brainrot keeps collecting money until you claim it by stepping on the button in front of it.

Strive to become the richest person on the server by collecting the rarest Brainrots and try to complete the character index in this Roblox experience.

Gameplay features

• Earning money: Amassing cash makes up half of the gameplay loop. You can make money either by claiming the income earned by your characters or by selling your characters. The latter is useful when you run out of space on your plot; you can get rid of any unneeded units to make space for rarer ones.
• Collecting Brainrots: Brainrot collection is a process that is largely up to RNG. Getting a character for the first time adds its entry to the Index, which can be viewed by clicking the button on the left. Each time you open a crate, you have a random chance to receive a character that belongs to either of the six rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Secret.
• Hammer: The hammer is your primary tool for breaking the crates that spawn on your plot. It has a set damage rating, upgraded by visiting the Upgrades station. Each upgrade requires Cash and improves the hammer's damage, allowing you to smash the crates open with fewer hits. If you manage to max out its upgrade path, you will be able to break apart low-tier crates with just a single hit.
• Luck: The Luck rating determines the Brainrot you receive when opening a crate. You can upgrade it to influence the rarity of the character and increase your chance of getting the rarest ones in the game. Like the Hammer, your Luck can be upgraded with Cash. Maximize your stats and complete the upgrade paths to streamline your crate opening experience.
• Server Event: Every once in a while, a Server-wide crate will spawn at the center of the hub area. It has a massive HP pool that encourages every player on the server to team up and destroy it. These boxes typically have a rare Brainrot with a high earn rate, which is given to every player who helps in breaking them.
