Steal a Brainrot allows players to collect both normal and mutated versions of brainrot characters. Generally, the latter is preferred for its multiple effects. Mutations not only provide eye-catching colors and auras but also drastically increase or decrease a character's earnings rate. Although not stackable, they are easier to obtain than Traits as they naturally occur on Brainrots.
In this guide, you'll learn about the effects and income multipliers of every Mutation in Steal a Brainrot.
