Last Tuesday was absolute chaos. I logged into Steal a Brainrot exactly 15 minutes before the event was supposed to start, and my server was already packed with players camping the conveyor belt. Everyone had the same idea grab as many Taco Trait Brainrots as humanly possible before the 30-minute window closed. The competition was fierce, the “Raining Tacos” song was already stuck in my head, and I knew this was going to be one of those nights where I’d be glued to my screen until well past midnight.
If you’ve been playing Steal a Brainrot for any amount of time, you already know that Taco Tuesday isn’t just another event THE event of the week. Missing it means waiting seven whole days for another shot at those sweet 3x earnings multipliers and exclusive rewards. Today, I’m breaking down everything you need to dominate the next Taco Tuesday, including exact timing for every major timezone, preparation strategies I’ve learned through countless events, and the rewards that make this grind absolutely worth it.
Taco Tuesday is the weekly admin abuse event that transforms the entire game into a taco-themed feeding frenzy. Developer SpyderSammy triggers this event every Tuesday, and when it happens, everything changes. A massive taco cannon materializes above the conveyor belt, the iconic “Raining Tacos” song starts blasting through your speakers (prepare for earworm hell), and tacos begin raining down on unsuspecting Brainrots passing underneath.
Here’s what makes this event so critical: any Brainrot that gets hit by one of those falling tacos receives the Taco Trait, which instantly boosts their earnings per second by 3x. That’s not a typo three times your normal income. For players grinding to reach those multi-million dollar purchases or trying to unlock exclusive pets, this multiplier is game-changing. The event only runs for about 30 minutes, sometimes extending to 45 minutes if Sammy’s feeling generous, so every second counts.
During my first Taco Tuesday, I made the rookie mistake of not clearing my inventory beforehand. I spent the first 10 minutes frantically organizing my items while watching other players snatch up Taco Brainrots left and right. Don’t be like early-me. Preparation is everything.
The upcoming Taco Tuesday hits on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, at 5:00 PM EST. I cannot stress this enough set multiple alarms, calendar reminders, sticky notes on your monitor, whatever it takes. This event waits for no one, and server capacity can get absolutely slammed if you’re trying to log in right at start time.
Here’s the complete timezone breakdown so you can convert to your local time:

| Pacific Time (PST) | Tuesday | 2:00 PM |
| Mountain Time (MST) | Tuesday | 3:00 PM |
| Central Time (CST) | Tuesday | 4:00 PM |
| Eastern Time (EST) | Tuesday | 5:00 PM |
| Brazil (BRT) | Tuesday | 6:00 PM |
| UK (BST) | Tuesday | 10:00 PM |
| Central Europe (CEST) | Tuesday | 11:00 PM |
| South Africa (SAST) | Tuesday | 11:00 PM |
| UAE (GST) | Wednesday | 1:00 AM |
| India (IST) | Wednesday | 2:30 AM |
| China (CST) | Wednesday | 5:00 AM |
| Japan (JST) | Wednesday | 6:00 AM |
| Philippines | Wednesday | 5:00 AM |
| Australia (AEST) | Wednesday | 7:00 AM |
| New Zealand (NZST) | Wednesday | 9:00 AM |
Pro tip from someone who’s been burned before: Log in at least 30-60 minutes early. I’ve seen servers crash right at event start from the flood of players, and by the time you reconnect, half the good Brainrots are already claimed. Getting in early lets you prep your base, clear inventory space, and stake out a good position near the conveyor belt.
There’s something electric about Taco Tuesday that other events just don’t capture. Maybe it’s the absurdity of watching tacos rain from the sky while “Raining Tacos” plays on repeat. Maybe it’s the adrenaline rush of competing against dozens of other players for the same limited pool of Taco Brainrots. Or maybe it’s just knowing that in 30 minutes, I could triple my income and finally afford that Bombardini Tortinii I’ve been eyeing.
The spawn rate boost is genuinely significant. Under normal circumstances, Taco Trait Brainrots are incredibly rare we’re talking needle-in-a-haystack rare. But during Taco Tuesday, that spawn rate jumps by 3x. Suddenly, you’re seeing taco-hatted Brainrots appearing on the belt every few seconds. The game completely transforms from a slow grind into a frantic scramble.
I’ve participated in probably a dozen Taco Tuesdays at this point, and each one plays out differently. Sometimes the RNG gods smile upon you and you walk away with five Corrupted Taco Brainrots (those glow and give 5x earnings absolute jackpot). Other times, you’re fighting tooth and nail for every single Taco Brainrot while players with better positioning or faster reflexes snag everything first. That unpredictability keeps me coming back week after week.
After countless events, I’ve developed a preparation routine that maximizes my chances of success. Here’s my exact pre-event checklist:
Clear Your Entire Inventory (Start 1 Hour Before)
This sounds obvious, but I cannot emphasize it enough. During the event, you’ll be purchasing Brainrots constantly. If your inventory is cluttered with random items you’ve been hoarding, you’ll waste precious seconds organizing while other players are collecting. I spend the hour before Taco Tuesday selling off everything I don’t absolutely need and organizing what I’m keeping into logical groups.
Stack Your Cash (Minimum 10 Million Recommended)
Taco Trait Brainrots aren’t cheap, especially when demand is sky-high during the event. I’ve watched my bank account drain from 15 million to under 1 million in a single Taco Tuesday. The last thing you want is to spot a Corrupted Taco Brainrot worth potentially millions in future earnings and not have enough cash to purchase it. My personal rule: never enter Taco Tuesday with less than 10 million in the bank.
Consider Using a Private Server
Public servers during Taco Tuesday are absolute madness. I’m talking 30+ players all competing for the same Brainrots, lag spikes from the server strain, and constant stealing from aggressive players. If you have access to a private server (either your own or a friend’s), use it. You’ll have exclusive access to all the Taco Brainrots that spawn, significantly increasing your haul.
The first time I tried Taco Tuesday on a private server with three friends, we each walked away with double the Taco Brainrots compared to our public server attempts. We divided up the conveyor belt into sections, called out high-value spawns to each other, and didn’t have to worry about randoms swooping in to steal our purchases. Game-changer.
Get Your PvP Gear Ready
If you’re staying on public servers, you need to defend your purchases. I always equip my best weapons and tools before the event starts. Players will absolutely try to steal your freshly-purchased Taco Brainrots, and if you’re not prepared to defend yourself, you’ll lose hours of grinding in seconds. The event brings out the competitive side of this community, and you need to be ready for it.
Join the Discord and Enable Notifications
Sometimes event timings change last-minute. Developer SpyderSammy occasionally shifts the start time or adjusts spawn rates based on server performance or other factors. The official Steal a Brainrot Discord server (specifically the bombardiro-news channel) is where these announcements happen first. I keep Discord notifications enabled specifically for that channel so I never miss an update.
Let me break down exactly what you’re grinding for, because understanding the rewards helps prioritize which Brainrots to target during the chaos:
Taco Trait Brainrots (3x Earnings Multiplier)
These are your bread and butter. Any Brainrot hit by falling tacos gets this trait, identifiable by the taco icon next to their name or the taco hat they wear. At 3x earnings per second, these Brainrots pay for themselves incredibly quickly. I always prioritize grabbing as many of these as possible during the first 15 minutes of the event.
Corrupted Taco Brainrots (5x Earnings + Glow Effect)
These are the holy grail. Corrupted Taco Brainrots spawn much more rarely than regular Taco Brainrots, but they’re immediately identifiable by their glowing aura. The 5x earnings multiplier means a single Corrupted Taco Brainrot can generate more income than three regular Taco Trait Brainrots combined. When I spot one of these on the belt, everything else becomes secondary. I’m buying that Brainrot no matter what.
Tipi Topi Taco (Exclusive Pet)
To unlock this exclusive pet, you need to feed Taco Trait Brainrots to Sammy the NPC. I typically feed 3-5 Taco Brainrots to guarantee I get this pet. It’s a one-time unlock per event if you haven’t already obtained it, and having exclusive pets is a huge flex in the community.
Bombardini Tortinii (225k Per Second)
This is the big-ticket purchase that costs 50 million in-game currency. Yes, that’s an absurd amount of money. But the Bombardini Tortinii produces 225,000 dollars per second passively, making it one of the highest-earning items in the entire game. I’ve been saving up for weeks specifically to afford one of these during my next successful Taco Tuesday run.
Tacorita Bicicleta (Rare Crafting Material)
These rare materials sometimes appear during Taco Tuesday and are essential for crafting Los Tacoritas one of the most valuable items in the late game. I always grab any crafting materials I see because they’re incredibly difficult to find outside of events.
Position Matters More Than You Think
Don’t just stand randomly near the conveyor belt. The tacos fall in somewhat predictable patterns, typically concentrating around the middle section of the belt. I position myself slightly to the left of center, where I’ve observed the highest density of taco impacts during past events. This gives me first access to newly-created Taco Brainrots before they reach the end of the belt where most players camp.
Speed vs. Value Calculation
Not every Taco Brainrot is worth purchasing immediately. If you see a basic Brainrot with low base earnings get hit by a taco, it might be worth passing on if you’re low on funds. Save your cash for high-value base Brainrots that receive the Taco Trait the multiplier applies to their base earnings, so a 3x multiplier on a high-earning Brainrot is exponentially better than the same multiplier on a low-earning one.
Feed to Sammy Strategically
While it’s tempting to keep every Taco Brainrot for the income boost, feeding some to Sammy unlocks exclusive rewards that can’t be obtained any other way. My strategy: secure 8-10 Taco Brainrots during the event. Keep 5-7 for income generation, and feed 3-5 to Sammy for the exclusive rewards. This balances immediate earnings with long-term progression.
Watch for Pattern Changes
About 15-20 minutes into the event, I’ve noticed the taco cannon sometimes shifts its firing pattern. Pay attention to where tacos are falling most frequently, and be ready to adjust your position. The players who adapt to these pattern changes mid-event consistently outperform those who stay in one spot the entire time.
Taco Tuesday runs every single week on Tuesday (shocking, I know), which means you have a reliable schedule for planning. Between events, I focus on:
Grinding Currency: Every Taco Tuesday requires significant cash reserves. I spend the week farming to rebuild my bank account to at least 15 million.
Organizing Inventory: I sell off Brainrots I’m not using, organize my storage, and make sure I have maximum space available for the next event.
Checking Discord: Event times occasionally shift, or SpyderSammy announces bonus events. The Discord is the only reliable way to stay updated.
Practicing Positioning: I’ll log in during non-event times just to practice my positioning around the conveyor belt and optimize my movement patterns.
Beyond Taco Tuesday, Steal a Brainrot typically runs additional Admin Abuse events on Saturdays. The next Saturday Admin Abuse is scheduled for October 11, 2025, at 3:00 PM BST / 10:00 AM ET / 7:00 AM PT. These Saturday events offer similar mechanics to Taco Tuesday boosted spawn rates, exclusive rewards, and time-limited opportunities but with different themes and rewards.
I never miss Saturday Admin Abuse events. They’re less predictable than Taco Tuesday since the specific event type can vary week to week, but the rewards are consistently worth the time investment. Sometimes it’s rainbow events, sometimes it’s corruption events, and occasionally SpyderSammy throws in completely unique mechanics just to keep us on our toes.
Arriving Exactly at Start Time: Server capacity maxes out immediately. Players who log in right at 5:00 PM EST often can’t connect until 5:10 or later, missing 1/3 of the event.
Not Having Cash Ready: I’ve watched players spot Corrupted Taco Brainrots and frantically try to sell items for quick cash, only to have someone else purchase it while they’re in their inventory menu.
Fighting Everyone for Every Brainrot: Some players spend the entire event in PvP combat rather than collecting. Unless someone is actively trying to steal from you, it’s usually more profitable to focus on collecting rather than fighting.
Ignoring Low-Tier Taco Brainrots Early On: I used to do this constantly. I’d wait for the “perfect” high-value Brainrot to get hit by tacos, passing on decent opportunities. Then the event would end and I’d realize I collected way fewer Brainrots than I could have. Now I grab solid Taco Brainrots early, which gives me more options as the event progresses.
Not Feeding Any Brainrots to Sammy: The exclusive rewards from Sammy are time-limited. If you skip feeding Brainrots to him during the event, you miss out on items that might never be available again.
I’ve played dozens of Roblox games with weekly events, and Taco Tuesday consistently stands out as one of the best-designed recurring events in any game. Here’s why:
The 30-minute time limit creates genuine urgency without feeling overwhelming. It’s long enough to execute a strategy and collect multiple rewards, but short enough that it doesn’t consume your entire evening. The 3x spawn rate boost is perfectly calibrated rare enough that collecting Taco Brainrots feels rewarding, but common enough that even average players can walk away with 3-5 Taco Brainrots per event.
Most importantly, Taco Tuesday rewards skill and preparation over pure luck or grinding time. Players who position well, manage their cash efficiently, and adapt to spawn patterns consistently outperform those who just show up and hope for the best. That skill-based element keeps the event engaging even after dozens of repetitions.
The community aspect can’t be ignored either. There’s genuine camaraderie in Discord voice chats during Taco Tuesday, with players calling out spawns, sharing strategies, and celebrating when someone lands a Corrupted Taco Brainrot. Even on public servers where competition is fierce, that shared experience of “Raining Tacos” playing while chaos erupts around the conveyor belt creates memorable moments.
Let’s talk actual numbers because understanding the math helps optimize your strategy:
A basic Taco Trait Brainrot with 1,000 earnings per second becomes 3,000 per second that’s an additional 2,000 per second in profit. Over just one hour, that single Brainrot generates an extra 7.2 million dollars compared to its non-Taco version.
A Corrupted Taco Brainrot with the same base stats would generate 5,000 per second 12 million dollars per hour in additional profit.
If you collect five Taco Brainrots during the event with an average base earning of 1,500 per second, you’re adding 22,500 per second to your passive income. That translates to 81 million dollars per hour, 1.944 billion per day.
This is why players who regularly participate in Taco Tuesday pull ahead economically. That passive income accumulates week after week, funding bigger purchases and faster progression than players who skip the event.
The meta has evolved significantly since Taco Tuesday first launched. Early events saw players clustering around the very end of the conveyor belt, creating a massive traffic jam. Now, experienced players have spread out along the belt’s length, with specific “territories” that regular players claim.
Private server meta has become dominant among serious players. Public server Taco Tuesdays are still fun and chaotic, but the rewards-per-time-invested ratio is significantly lower due to competition. Most progression-focused players now coordinate private server groups through Discord, maximizing collection efficiency.
There’s also an emerging “trade market” where players who excel at Taco Tuesday collection sell excess Taco Brainrots to players who missed the event or didn’t collect enough. I’ve seen Corrupted Taco Brainrots sell for 2-3x their base price in the hours immediately after Taco Tuesday ends.
Lag and Server Performance: If your server is lagging badly during the event, consider server hopping. Some servers handle the load better than others. I typically test 2-3 different servers in the 15 minutes before the event to find one with good performance.
Can’t See Taco Icons: This is usually a graphics settings issue. Make sure your Roblox graphics quality is set to at least 5/10. Lower settings sometimes don’t render the taco hats or icons properly, making it impossible to identify Taco Brainrots quickly.
Getting Repeatedly Stolen From: If you’re on a particularly aggressive public server, consider switching servers or forming temporary alliances with nearby players. Sometimes announcing in chat “let’s all collect peacefully” can reduce the PvP chaos enough to benefit everyone.
Missing the Event Entirely: Life happens. If you miss a Taco Tuesday, don’t stress too much. The event runs every single week, and there’s always next Tuesday. Focus on grinding currency during the week so you’re even more prepared for the following event.
SpyderSammy has hinted at potential variations coming to future Taco Tuesday events. The community’s been speculating about “Mega Taco Tuesday” events with extended durations or “Corrupted Taco Tuesday” where spawn rates for Corrupted Taco Brainrots specifically get boosted.
Whatever comes next, one thing’s certain: Taco Tuesday isn’t going anywhere. It’s become a defining feature of Steal a Brainrot’s identity, and the weekly player engagement numbers prove how successful the event format has been.
I’m already planning my strategy for October 7th. I’ve got 18 million saved up, my inventory is pristine, and I’ve coordinated with my private server group to divide up the conveyor belt efficiently. My goal this week is to collect at least two Corrupted Taco Brainrots and enough regular Taco Brainrots to feed five to Sammy while keeping seven for income generation.
The beautiful thing about Taco Tuesday is that every week offers a fresh start. Whether you’re a brand new player participating in your first event or a veteran who’s attended every single one since launch, everyone starts on equal footing when that taco cannon appears and “Raining Tacos” begins playing.
Mark your calendars, set your alarms, and clear your schedules for Tuesday evening. The tacos are coming, and they’re bringing the best income multipliers in the entire game with them. I’ll see you on the conveyor belt.
The standard duration is 30 minutes, though SpyderSammy occasionally extends it to 45 minutes if server performance is good and the community is particularly engaged. I always plan for 30 minutes but stay logged in for a potential extra 15 just in case.
Technically yes, but the spawn rate is so astronomically low that it’s functionally impossible. I’ve played hundreds of hours outside Taco Tuesday and have never naturally encountered a Taco Trait Brainrot. The event is really your only realistic opportunity.
This depends heavily on your cash reserves, server population, and positioning. My personal best is 12 Taco Brainrots (including one Corrupted) in a single private server event. On public servers, 5-7 is more realistic for most players.
Nope! Just be logged into Steal a Brainrot when the event starts at 5:00 PM EST. The event activates server-wide automatically, so everyone in every server experiences it simultaneously.
Drop whatever you’re doing and get to the conveyor belt immediately. I’ve made the mistake of finishing a trade or organizing inventory when the event started, and by the time I got to the belt, other players had already claimed the first wave of Taco Brainrots.
The event is pretty straightforward, but experienced players have noticed that feeding exactly 7 Taco Brainrots to Sammy seems to slightly increase your odds of getting rare exclusive rewards. I can’t confirm if this is actually programmed into the game or just confirmation bias, but I always aim for 7 when possible.
Absolutely! The event works identically on mobile, PC, and console. Mobile players might have slightly slower reaction times compared to PC players with gaming mice, but the advantage isn’t insurmountable. I’ve seen mobile players absolutely dominate Taco Tuesdays through smart positioning and preparation.
Now you’re fully equipped to dominate the next Taco Tuesday. The knowledge is yours how you use it determines whether you’re still grinding for basic Brainrots or stacking Corrupted Taco Brainrots while your passive income reaches absurd levels. The choice is yours, and the tacos are waiting.
