Traits are cosmetic upgrades added to brainrots, and they do more than just look cool. These traits actually increase the value of your brainrot and how much they earn per second. So yeah — it’s not just for flexing. If you’re trying to stack value, you’ll want to start collecting these as soon as you can.
How do I get traits in Steal A Brainrot on Roblox?
Traits are one of the most exciting things to be added to Steal A Brainrot recently, and I’ve been messing around with them since the update dropped. They’re cosmetic features that get attached to your brainrots, but they’re not just for looks, they also boost how much your brainrots earn per second and can raise their overall value. But figuring out how to get them isn’t super obvious unless you’ve been paying close attention.
All Methods To Getting Traits in Steal A Brainrot
The main way traits appear in the game is through live events. These are special in-game moments where the developers activate trait spawns — it’s the only time brainrots can actually gain a trait naturally. If you’re not in the game when one of these events happens, you completely miss your chance. That actually happened to one of my close friends. He was playing earlier in the day and logged off for like an hour… right when the event happened. I ended up getting a trait on one of my brainrots during that session, and when I told him, he was honestly kind of upset — especially once he saw that my brainrot’s value was higher just because of the trait. That’s when we both realized how limited these events can be.
What’s tough is that the game doesn’t announce these events in the Roblox game itself. If you’re not plugged into the community, you’ll probably miss it too. The developers only post updates like these in their official Discord server, and if you don’t have notifications turned on for certain roles in that server, there’s a high chance the event will fly right past you. After my friend missed out, we both went into the server and enabled all the pings needed. Honestly, that’s the best move you can make right now if you’re serious about collecting traits.
But let’s say you already missed an event like my friend did. Luckily, there’s a second option: trading. Within the same Discord, there’s a super active trades channel where players are constantly offering their brainrots for trade, many of which already have traits. It works like a little black market (but actually allowed), people are trying to trade for specific types of traits, rare brainrots, or just make profitable flips. My friend ended up going into that channel and finding someone who was willing to trade a traited brainrot for one of his better non-trait ones, and it honestly worked out well. If you’re not lucky during events, this is your best bet.
Right now, these two methods, joining live events and trading with other players are the only reliable ways to get traits in Steal A Brainrot. You can’t just equip them manually, you can’t buy them in a shop, and they’re not something that drops randomly during regular gameplay. Traits are strictly tied to those limited-time windows or player-to-player trades, which makes them feel pretty exclusive and valuable when you finally get one.
