Traits are applied to Brainrots during special events. There’s not really much you can do to trigger these events. They’re either spawned by the game’s admin team, or they appear through sheer luck.
- Playing during the weekly Admin Abuse is the best way to boost your chances of participating in an event. These typically take place just before updates.
- For events that are triggered by a certain Brainrot spawning, like Strawberry or Meowl, you can improve your chances by using Robux to buy boosted server luck (but there’s no guarantee one of these Brainrots will appear.
