The Absolute Beginner's Guide

Learn how to survive the cutthroat economy, dodge raids, and execute your first rebirth effortlessly.

Step 1: The Initial Roll

Upon spawning into the game, your immediate goal is to establish a revenue stream. Claim your starter base and roll your first free unit. You will likely pull a Common NFT/Brainrot. Place it on a tile inside your base.

Step 2: Base Lockdown

Your base is vulnerable during the 60-Second Unlock Window (which you must manually press to collect daily rewards or drop packages). Only press this button when no other player icon is visible on your mini-map.

Step 3: First Weapon Purchase

Before saving up for your first rebirth ($1M), ensure you buy the Shotgun ($650k). Because Rebirths wipe out guns purchased prior to Rebirth 5, you shouldn't invest in heavy turrets yet—just something lethal for early 60-second defenses.

Step 4: Executing Rebirth 1

Once you hit $1M liquid capital, head to the Rebirth Calculator tool. Do not rebirth immediately—check the ROI simulator to see if you should hoard more assets first.
