How to Use the Fuse Machine in Ride a Pet (October 2026) Complete Guide

The Fuse Machine turns four spare pets into one new animal, so duplicates don’t have to be sold. I’ll walk you through unlocking it and fusing safely. It arrived in Update 3 on October 3, and it’s a limited-time structure, so I’d try it soon. Here’s the quick overview:

Prerequisites: Unlock the Fuse Machine

The machine only appears once you’ve done Rebirth 1. That needs a Horse and $1M Cash, and it also gives a 2x money multiplier, an extra pet slot, and the Gold Base. If you can’t see the machine, you probably haven’t rebirthed yet. Check [INTERNAL LINK: Ride a Pet rebirth guide] before you sell any Horse.

Once unlocked, the machine sits near the Ride Pet With Friend NPC who has the Phoenix mount.

How to Use the Fuse Machine?

1. Open your backpack and pick four pets, each Legendary or higher.
2. Walk to the Fuse Machine.
3. Interact with a pedestal (tube) and select a pet.
4. Repeat until all four are filled.
5. Re-check every pet, because they’re consumed.
6. Press Fuse and pay the Cash fee.
7. Wait one hour for the timer.
8. Return and collect your new pet.

One guide also tells you to equip a Legendary pet before approaching. Another doesn’t mention it, so I’d do it anyway, since it costs nothing.

Do the Four Pets Need to Match?

No. You can mix different animals as long as each is Legendary or higher, and Ethereal pets are accepted too. That makes it handy for spare pets from eggs. Mutations matter, though. One report says four Gold-mutated Horses give a 25% chance of a Gold-mutated result.

What Can You Get?

The machine can produce 16 limited pets, including 5 Ethereal ones. Roonby mentions Kitsune, Dragon, and Griffin as stronger targets. Nothing is guaranteed, and the exact odds aren’t published, so don’t expect a specific pet.

The same update also boosted hatching odds for the Griffin and for Secret-rarity pets.

Best Pets to Fuse

• Duplicate Legendary pets
• Extra pets from eggs
• Unused pets taking up backpack space

Keep your best earners and any pet you need for a future Rebirth. For Rebirth 2 you’ll need a Fox, so don’t fuse one away.

Should You Fuse or Sell Duplicates?

I wouldn’t sell every duplicate anymore. Before you do, ask whether the pet is worth more as fusion material. If you have four unwanted Legendary pets, one fusion gives you a chance at something rarer instead of a few small payouts. If a pet is a core earner, keep it. Sell only the true junk, and remember that the Cash fee comes on top.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Fusing before Rebirth 1. The machine won’t show up.
• Fusing a pet you need. Fusion is final, so double-check all four.
• Fusing mutated pets casually. Mutations can add value, so use them only on purpose.
• Expecting a guaranteed upgrade. It’s a gamble, so only risk spares.
• Missing the limited window. No end date is confirmed, but the structure is listed as limited-time.

Troubleshooting

If you can’t find the machine, confirm Rebirth 1 and look near the Phoenix-mount NPC. If a pet won’t go in, check that it’s Legendary or higher. If you can’t press Fuse, make sure all four tubes are full and you have enough Cash. Since the exact fee isn’t confirmed anywhere I checked, read the price on the button.

Pro Tip

Start a fusion before you go egg hunting or hatching, so the machine works while you do. The timer runs for an hour, so you can keep playing, then come back and collect. See [INTERNAL LINK: Ride a Pet codes] for free boosts while you wait.
