Admin Abuse runs every Saturday at 9:00 AM PST and lasts about 60 minutes. During the event, developers spawn rare brainrots, boost mutation rates, and drop Radioactive Coins. I've gotten more Diamond Celestials in one Admin Abuse than in a week of normal play.
The event is the best time to fill your base with high-rarity mutated brainrots. If you can only play once a week, make it Saturday morning.

What Happens During Admin Abuse
Rare spawns everywhere:
- Celestials spawn more frequently
- Secrets appear in earlier zones
- Mutation rates increase significantly
Developer actions:
- Admins manually spawn rare brainrots
- Bonus Radioactive Coins drop
- Special brainrots like Strawberry Elephant appear
- Sometimes free items are given to all players
Boosted rates:
- Diamond mutations: ~10x normal rate
- Electric mutations: ~5x normal rate
- Celestial spawns: Every 5 minutes instead of 15
How to Prepare
Before the event:
-
Don't rebirth the day before. You want maximum speed to reach deep zones during the event.
-
Clear base slots. Sell or delete low-rarity brainrots. You'll replace them with better ones during Admin Abuse.
-
Max your speed. The more zones you can access, the better brainrots you can grab.
-
Join early. Servers fill up fast. Join 10-15 minutes before the event starts.
-
Check Discord. Developers sometimes announce surprise bonuses or schedule changes.
During Admin Abuse Strategy
First 15 minutes:
- Sprint to the deepest zone you can reach
- Grab any Celestials or mutated Secrets you see
- Don't be picky, fill slots fast
Middle 30 minutes:
- Start being selective
- Replace normal brainrots with mutated ones
- Hunt specifically for Diamond/Electric Celestials
Last 15 minutes:
- Focus on the rarest spawns
- Strawberry Elephant and event-exclusive brainrots
- Top off any empty slots
What to Prioritize
Grab in this order:
- Radioactive Celestials (if you see one, drop everything)
- Diamond/Electric Celestials
- Any Celestial
- Radioactive Secrets
- Diamond/Electric Secrets
- Normal Secrets with good base income
Don't waste time on Legendaries or below during Admin Abuse. The spawn rates for high-rarity brainrots are too good to miss.
Event-Exclusive Brainrots
Some brainrots only spawn during Admin Abuse:
| Brainrot | Rarity | Income | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strawberry Elephant | Celestial | $1.6M/s | Pink elephant, Admin Abuse only |
| Celestial Architect | Celestial | $1.9M/s | Rare event spawn |
| Diamond Goat | Secret | $1M/s | Diamond mutation guaranteed |
Strawberry Elephant is the signature Admin Abuse brainrot. If you see one, grab it. It's a flex item that shows you participated in events.
Server Selection
Admin Abuse affects all servers, but some are better than others.
Best servers:
- Lower player count (less competition)
- Recently created (fresh spawns)
- English servers (developers often join these)
Avoid:
- Full servers (100 players)
- Servers where event already started (spawns depleted)
Server hop if your current server feels picked clean. Fresh servers have fresh spawns.
Radioactive Coins During Admin Abuse
Admin Abuse boosts Radioactive Coin drops. The Radioactive Event (hourly, 5 minutes) can trigger multiple times during Admin Abuse.
Coin sources during Admin Abuse:
- Secret tunnel obby (3-5 coins per run)
- Bombardillo bomb explosions
- Admin drops (random)
- Lucky Block spawns
Spend coins on Lucky Block spins after the event ends. During the event, focus on collecting brainrots.
Common Admin Abuse Mistakes
Rebirthing during the event. Your speed resets. You'll spend 20 minutes rebuilding while everyone else farms Celestials.
Being too picky early. Fill your base first, optimize later. An empty slot earns nothing.
Ignoring mutations. A Diamond Secret beats a normal Celestial in the long run. Mutations matter.
Staying in one spot. Move around. Different areas have different spawns. If your zone feels empty, try another.
Missing the start time. The first 15 minutes have the best spawns. Joining late means picking through leftovers.
Wave Wednesday
Besides Saturday Admin Abuse, there's a smaller event called Wave Wednesday.
Wave Wednesday:
- Every Wednesday
- Shorter duration (30 minutes)
- Smaller boosts than Saturday
- Still worth attending if you can
Wave Wednesday is good for players who can't make Saturday events. The rewards are smaller but better than normal gameplay.
Event Calendar
| Event | Day | Time (PST) | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Admin Abuse | Saturday | 9:00 AM | 60 min |
| Wave Wednesday | Wednesday | 9:00 AM | 30 min |
| Radioactive Event | Daily | Hourly | 5 min |
Mark your calendar. Consistent event attendance is the fastest way to build a strong base.
After Admin Abuse
Immediately after:
- Check your base for empty slots
- Upgrade your best new brainrots
- Spend Radioactive Coins on spins
- Screenshot your haul (bragging rights)
Before next event:
- Rebirth if you hit requirements
- Rebuild speed
- Clear low-rarity brainrots for next event
- Check Discord for schedule updates
Admin Abuse History
The developers have been consistent with Saturday events since the game launched. Occasionally they run surprise Admin Abuse sessions for:
- Game milestones (100M visits, etc.)
- Holiday celebrations
- Update launches
- Bug fix apologies
