Gold Mutation
The Gold Mutation is a game-changing enhancement in Steal A Brainrot, one of the five core mutations you can find. Its one and only purpose is to make you rich! At its core, the Gold Mutation grants a sweet 1.25x cash multiplier to any Brainrot it's applied to.
This mutation is a total wild card! It can pop up on any Brainrot that spawns on the main track, from common critters to the ultra-rare Secret and Brainrot God tiers. There's no secret trick to force it; it's all up to luck and the game's RNG. Keep your eyes peeled for special in-game Events! Sometimes, the developers host events like "Gold Brainrots for everyone", drastically increasing the chances of finding these shiny cash cows.
Appearance
You'd think a 'Gold' Mutation would turn everything into solid gold, right? Well, not always! While some Brainrots might get a shiny new coat of paint, the visual effect can be surprisingly subtle or even non-existent.
Fun Fact: A famous case is the 'gold Smurf Cat', which players reported was still its classic blue color despite having the mutation. Whether this is a deliberate feature to keep you guessing or a funny little bug is part of the game's charm!
How to Obtain
So, you want to get your hands on one? Here are the main ways:
Random Spawns
The most common method. Keep a sharp eye on the main track for any Brainrot that spawns with the mutation.
Events
The easiest way! Jump into the game during a special gold event to find them spawning like crazy.
The Five-Finger Discount
Feeling devious? You can always engage in some PvP and steal a Gold Mutated Brainrot directly from another player's base. High risk, high reward!
Income Examples
Here's a look at how that 1.25x multiplier boosts the income of some popular Brainrots.

|---|---|---|
| Los Tralaleritos | $500,000 | $625,000 +25% |
