Follow these instructions to steal characters in Don't Wake the Brainrots:

• Wait for the giant Brainrots to fall asleep or be distracted by other players.
• Approach any character in the play zone. It is advised to steal the ones nearest to the safe zone to avoid getting caught.
• Press and hold the E key on the PC to steal the character. Roblox mobile players simply need to tap and hold the screen.
• The moment you pick the character, the Brainrots will be alerted.
• Swiftly move to the safe zone without getting hit by any of the guardians.

When you lift a character, your movement speed is drastically reduced. The speed buffs provided by gears, such as Rusty Coil, Bouncy Coil, and Springy Coil, are also removed.

Interestingly, a select few gears are functional during the stealing attempts. Most notable is the Invisibility Cloak, which makes you undetectable, and the Freeze Ray, which temporarily freezes the Brainrots.
