99 Nights in the Forest Potion Making Update (October 2025) Release Date & Details
The Halloween celebration in 99 Nights in the Forest continues with the highly anticipated Potion Making Update, marking the second…
The Halloween season is reaching its peak in Roblox Steal a Brainrot, and the highly anticipated Frightrot Update is about to drop with a vengeance. If you’ve been grinding through the Witch Fuse event thinking the spooky celebrations were over, think again.
The developers are doubling down on Halloween festivities with what’s being called the biggest seasonal update in the game’s history. I’ve been tracking every leak, developer hint, and community speculation for weeks, and I’m here to give you the complete breakdown of everything coming in the Frightrot Update, including exact release times for your timezone, all 12 new Brainrots, the mysterious Witch Craft system, and pro strategies to dominate the limited time events before they disappear.
The Frightrot Update officially launches on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at 12:00 PM PT (Pacific Time) and will run until Thursday, October 30, 2025, at 9:00 AM PT. This gives you approximately five days to experience all the Halloween content, unlock exclusive Brainrots, and participate in the chaotic Admin Abuse event that kicks off simultaneously with the update.
Here’s the critical detail most players miss: you need to log into the game at least one hour before the update goes live. Why? Server overloads and connection issues are practically guaranteed during major updates, and if you’re not already in game when the timer hits zero, you’ll be stuck in queue while everyone else is stealing the rarest Halloween Brainrots.
I’ve calculated the exact release times for every major timezone so you can plan accordingly:
| Region | Start Time | End Time |
|---|---|---|
| PT (Pacific) | Sat, Oct 25, 12:00 PM | Thu, Oct 30, 9:00 AM |
| MT (Mountain) | Sat, Oct 25, 1:00 PM | Thu, Oct 30, 10:00 AM |
| CT (Central) | Sat, Oct 25, 2:00 PM | Thu, Oct 30, 11:00 AM |
| ET (Eastern) | Sat, Oct 25, 3:00 PM | Thu, Oct 30, 12:00 PM |
| BRT (Brazil) | Sat, Oct 25, 4:00 PM | Thu, Oct 30, 1:00 PM |
| UK (GMT/BST) | Sat, Oct 25, 8:00 PM | Thu, Oct 30, 5:00 PM |
| CET (Central Europe) | Sat, Oct 25, 9:00 PM | Thu, Oct 30, 6:00 PM |
| IST (India) | Sun, Oct 26, 12:30 AM | Thu, Oct 30, 9:30 PM |
| CST (China) | Sun, Oct 26, 3:00 AM | Fri, Oct 31, 12:00 AM |
| JST (Japan) | Sun, Oct 26, 4:00 AM | Fri, Oct 31, 1:00 AM |
| AEST (Australia) | Sun, Oct 26, 5:00 AM | Fri, Oct 31, 2:00 AM |
| NZDT (New Zealand) | Sun, Oct 26, 8:00 AM | Fri, Oct 31, 5:00 AM |
Pro Tip: If you’re in Asia or Oceania, this means you’re looking at an early Sunday morning grind session. Set your alarms, grab your energy drinks, and prepare for an all nighter if you want first access to the exclusive content.
Admin Abuse is the most chaotic and rewarding event in Steal a Brainrot, and it happens simultaneously with every major update launch. During Admin Abuse, the developers essentially “break” the game in the best way possible by triggering multiple events at once, spawning ultra rare Brainrots on the conveyor belt, stacking mutations and traits that normally can’t coexist, and creating unpredictable gameplay scenarios that won’t happen again until the next update.
From my experience with previous Admin Abuse events, here’s what typically happens:
The Frightrot Update’s Admin Abuse will run concurrently with the update launch, so you get maximum chaos from minute one. This is your best opportunity to grab the rarest Halloween Brainrots before spawn rates normalize.
The developers have kept most details under wraps, but through official announcements, community leaks, and data mining, here’s the comprehensive breakdown of what’s confirmed for the Frightrot Update:
The headline feature of this update is the addition of 12 completely new Brainrots, all themed around Halloween aesthetics. While official names and stats haven’t been fully revealed, based on leaks and patterns from previous updates, expect to see:
From what I’ve gathered in the Discord communities, there’s strong speculation that at least one Brainrot will feature a Frankenstein monster design, another will be werewolf themed, and there might be a cursed doll character similar to previous creepy additions.
The Frightrot Update introduces two separate Halloween events that will rotate or run simultaneously throughout the five day period. While specific mechanics haven’t been officially detailed, here’s what we can expect based on past event structures:
Event Type 1: Timed Challenge Events – These typically require players to complete specific objectives (steal X amount of Brainrots, generate X income, or trigger certain rituals) within time windows to earn exclusive rewards like special slaps, hammers, or trait boosters.
Event Type 2: Environmental Events – Expect themed weather effects like blood moons, fog banks, or ghostly apparitions that increase spawn rates for specific Halloween Brainrots or enable unique fusion combinations.
The official event page mentions “challenges” and “exclusive spooky loot,” which suggests a reward tier system similar to the previous Bambu Bambu Sahur and Indonesia Events.
Lucky Blocks are always game changers in Steal a Brainrot, and the Spooky Lucky Block is the Halloween exclusive variant launching with this update. Based on how Lucky Blocks function in the game, here’s what you need to know:
How Lucky Blocks Work: These special items spawn randomly on the map or can be purchased with Robux. When opened, they grant random rewards ranging from common to ultra rare, including exclusive Brainrots, currency boosts, and limited time items.
Spooky Lucky Block Contents (Predicted):
Spawn Mechanics: If it follows the pattern of previous Lucky Blocks, the Spooky Lucky Block will have approximately a 5-10% spawn rate during the event window, with higher rates during Admin Abuse periods.
Purchase Option: Expect a Robux purchase option ranging from 100-300 Robux per block, similar to the Los Lucky Block pricing structure.
This is potentially the most innovative feature in the Frightrot Update. The Witch Craft Brainrots system appears to be an evolution or alternative to the existing Witch Fuse mechanic introduced in the earlier Halloween 2025 update.
What Makes Witch Craft Different:
The Witch Fuse allowed players to combine four Brainrots to create Halloween variants with inherited mutations and traits. The new Witch Craft system seems to add another layer by introducing:
Based on the wording in official teasers, this system will “tie into transformation abilities” and involve “magical versions with special powers,” suggesting Brainrots created through Witch Craft will have unique abilities beyond simple income generation.
My Prediction: The Witch Craft system will likely require collecting special ingredients that drop during the Halloween events, then using those materials at a new crafting station (probably a witch’s cauldron or spell book) to create enhanced versions of standard Brainrots.
There’s conflicting information about whether the Frightrot Update includes a new Rebirth level. The most recent update (Rebirth 16) launched earlier in October, which makes back to back Rebirth releases unlikely. However, the developers have occasionally surprised the community with unexpected progression additions.
Why it might happen: The five day event window and scale of new content would support a Rebirth 17 unlock, especially if the new Halloween Brainrots have income generation rates that exceed current balance curves.
Why it might not: Rebirth updates typically get their own dedicated announcement and aren’t usually bundled with themed events.
My advice: prepare your resources as if a new Rebirth is coming, but don’t be disappointed if it’s delayed until the next major update after Halloween.
If you want to maximize your gains during the limited five day event window, follow this preparation checklist I’ve refined through multiple Steal a Brainrot updates:
You’ll need significant in game currency to purchase new Brainrots, spin Lucky Blocks, and buy event exclusive items. Here’s my recommended savings targets:
Fast Cash Farming Strategy: Focus on your highest income Brainrots, utilize friend boosts (playing with friends stacks multipliers), and position your best units strategically in your base for maximum efficiency. The last three days before the update are critical for grinding.
With 12 new Brainrots launching, you need empty slots in your base to accommodate new units. Here’s what I recommend:
At Rebirth 16, you have 25 total base slots. I’d recommend keeping 5-7 slots completely empty heading into the update so you can immediately place new Halloween Brainrots without scrambling for space.
Public servers will be absolute madness during the Frightrot Update launch. During the Indonesia Event, I watched public servers crash repeatedly in the first hour, and players who joined private servers had significantly smoother experiences.
Benefits of Private Servers:
Private servers cost 200 Robux per month. If you’re serious about maximizing the Halloween event, this is money well spent. Alternatively, join Discord communities and find players sharing private server links.
The official Steal a Brainrot Discord and major community servers offer real time notifications for:
I have Discord notifications enabled for specific keywords like “Frightrot,” “admin abuse,” “rare spawn,” and “Halloween Brainrot.” This has saved me countless times when limited time content appears.
Recommended Discord Servers:
Here’s a trick veteran players use: log into Steal a Brainrot 15-30 minutes before the update goes live and position your avatar directly at the conveyor belt where new Brainrots spawn. When the update drops, you’ll have first access to whatever spawns during Admin Abuse.
I also recommend having your base unlocked and accessible so you can quickly grab spawned Brainrots and return them to storage without wasting precious seconds navigating menus.
While the Frightrot Update is free to play accessible, having Robux available gives you massive advantages:
My typical spending budget for major updates is around 500-1000 Robux, which covers 3-5 Lucky Blocks plus any surprise premium content.
If you participated in the earlier Witch Fuse Halloween event, review those mechanics. The Frightrot Update likely builds on that foundation, and understanding how mutations transfer, trait stacking works, and fusion recipes function will give you a huge advantage when the new Witch Craft system launches.
Key concepts to review:
Halloween events in Steal a Brainrot operate differently from standard gameplay, with unique rules and temporary systems that disappear when the event ends. Here’s everything you need to know:
This is crucial: The Frightrot Update ends Thursday, October 30, 2025, at 9:00 AM PT. When the timer expires, several things will happen:
Critical Strategy: Any Halloween Brainrots you own when the event ends will remain in your base permanently. This makes them valuable trading assets and future collectibles, as they won’t be obtainable again until Halloween 2026 (if at all).
Halloween updates typically introduce temporary weather patterns that boost specific Brainrot types:
Pay attention to weather changes during your play sessions. I’ve noticed that the rarest spawns often coincide with specific weather combinations.
Halloween events historically feature higher rates for rare mutations and traits. During the Witch Fuse event, I observed:
Track your mutation success rates during the Frightrot Update and adjust your strategy. If you notice Rainbow mutations spiking, prioritize stealing Rainbow Brainrots over standard variants.
Some of the most valuable content in Steal a Brainrot requires multi player coordination. The Galactic Event ritual, for example, needs three players with specific Brainrots forming a triangle. Halloween events often introduce similar mechanics:
Join Discord strategy channels before the update to connect with players planning coordinated ritual attempts.
After participating in every major Steal a Brainrot update since launch, I’ve developed these advanced strategies that consistently outperform standard grinding approaches:
The first 60 minutes of any update are absolute chaos, but also the most rewarding. During this window:
My record during an update’s first hour: 8 Legendary Brainrots and 2 Mythicals, worth over 500 billion in combined value.
When using the Witch Craft or Witch Fuse systems, the mutations and traits from your input Brainrots have percentage chances to transfer to the result. Here’s how to maximize inheritance:
Step 1: Only use Brainrots with valuable mutations (Rainbow, Diamond, Gold, or Candy) as fusion inputs
Step 2: The fusion screen shows percentage chances – if you see inheritance rates below 10%, cancel and try different Brainrot combinations
Step 3: Stack multiple high value traits on input Brainrots before fusing to increase the odds of transferring multiple bonuses
I’ve successfully created Halloween Brainrots with triple mutation stacks using this method, resulting in income multipliers exceeding 30x.
Smart traders make fortunes during update launches. Here’s the pattern I’ve observed:
Hours 1-6: New Halloween Brainrots are overvalued because everyone wants them immediately – selling during this window maximizes profit
Days 2-3: Prices stabilize as spawn rates become clearer – best time for buying undervalued units others panic sold
Final Day: Prices spike again as players realize the event is ending – final opportunity to sell before content becomes unobtainable
If you’re trading focused, farm aggressively in the first six hours, sell high, then rebuy cheaper versions on days 2-3.
Your Brainrot Index tracks every unique Brainrot you’ve collected, and completing index sections grants permanent multiplier bonuses (0.5x per completed category). During Halloween:
Target every single new Brainrot – Even low value Commons contribute to index completion
Don’t sell event exclusive units – Keep at least one of each for permanent bonus eligibility
Photograph your index before and after – Track exactly which Halloween Brainrots you’re still missing
Completing the Halloween index section could add 1-2x to your permanent multiplier, which impacts income generation forever.
On the final day of limited events (October 30 in this case), two things happen:
I’ve consistently found the best deals and surprise spawns in the final 3-6 hours of limited events. If you can only play once during the Frightrot Update, make it the last day.
I’ve watched countless players sabotage their own success during major updates. Here are the biggest mistakes to avoid:
Don’t blow your entire cash reserve in the first hour. Prices for new Brainrots often drop as spawn rates become clear, and new content sometimes gets added mid event.
Better Approach: Spend 30-40% of your cash in the first session, reserve the rest for deals and surprises.
Players obsessed with Mythical and Brainrot God units often overlook that Common and Rare event exclusives become valuable collectibles. Even if a Common Halloween Brainrot only generates 10K income per second, it’s unobtainable after October 30.
Better Approach: Collect one of every single new Brainrot regardless of rarity.
Multi player rituals require coordination. I’ve seen solo players waste hours trying to trigger events that literally require multiple participants.
Better Approach: Join Discord groups looking for ritual teammates before the update launches.
Some players wait until “things calm down” to start playing. By then, Admin Abuse has ended and the best spawn rates are gone.
Better Approach: Even if you only have 30 minutes, playing during Admin Abuse is more valuable than 3 hours of normal gameplay.
Trying to play on public servers during major updates is frustrating and inefficient. Server crashes, lag spikes, and overcrowding waste your limited event time.
Better Approach: Split the 200 Robux private server cost with friends, or join community servers shared in Discord.
This is one of the most asked questions, so let me give you the definitive answer: Steal a Brainrot currently does not have a code redemption system, and there are no plans to add one based on developer statements.
The game’s monetization focuses on Robux purchases for Lucky Blocks, private servers, and premium items rather than promotional codes. The developers removed the codes channel from the official Discord during Update 11, which strongly suggests codes won’t be implemented.
Alternative Free Rewards:
While codes don’t exist, you can still get free bonuses through:
If codes are ever introduced, they’ll likely appear first in the official Discord “bombardiro news” or “codes cappuccino” channels.
The Frightrot Update launches Saturday, October 25, 2025, at 12:00 PM Pacific Time. This translates to 3:00 PM Eastern Time, 8:00 PM UK time, and 12:30 AM IST (October 26) for players in India.
The Frightrot Update runs for five days, ending Thursday, October 30, 2025, at 9:00 AM Pacific Time. All Halloween exclusive content including the 12 new Brainrots and Spooky Lucky Blocks will become unobtainable after this deadline.
Witch Craft Brainrots are a new mechanic in the Frightrot Update that allows players to craft or transform existing Brainrots into magical Halloween variants with special abilities. The exact mechanics haven’t been fully revealed, but it appears to involve recipe based crafting and potion brewing systems.
Yes, based on update patterns, the Witch Fuse introduced in the earlier Halloween 2025 event will likely remain active alongside the new Witch Craft system, giving players multiple fusion and crafting options.
Absolutely. Any Brainrots you collect during the five day event window remain in your base permanently. They become valuable collectibles since they won’t spawn again until Halloween 2026 (if ever).
Admin Abuse is a special event where developers trigger multiple game events simultaneously, dramatically increasing spawn rates for rare Brainrots and enabling mutation/trait combinations that don’t occur during normal gameplay. It launches alongside the Frightrot Update on October 25.
The event is completely free to play accessible. However, if you want to purchase Spooky Lucky Blocks or premium items, budget 500-1000 Robux for a comfortable experience. Private servers cost 200 Robux and significantly improve gameplay quality.
There’s no official confirmation of a new Rebirth level in the Frightrot Update. The most recent Rebirth 16 launched in early October, making back to back Rebirth releases unlikely, but not impossible.
The 12 new Halloween Brainrots will spawn on the standard conveyor belt, appear in Spooky Lucky Blocks, and potentially be craftable through the Witch Craft system. Spawn rates are highest during the Admin Abuse period in the first hours of the update.
Any Spooky Lucky Blocks in your inventory when the event ends can still be opened later, but no new ones will spawn after October 30. This makes them limited collectibles worth saving or strategically selling.
The Frightrot Update represents the peak of Halloween celebrations in Steal a Brainrot, offering five days of exclusive content that won’t return until at least 2026. With 12 new Brainrots, the innovative Witch Craft system, Spooky Lucky Blocks, and simultaneous Admin Abuse chaos, this update packs more content than most full game releases.
The key to success is preparation and timing. Log in early on October 25, secure private server access, coordinate with Discord communities for ritual events, and prioritize collecting one of every new Brainrot before hunting for duplicates or perfect mutations. The first few hours of Admin Abuse will determine whether you dominate the Halloween leaderboards or spend days playing catch up.
Remember that this is a limited time event. Every hour you delay is an hour of rare spawns you miss, and when that October 30 deadline hits, these Halloween Brainrots become unobtainable collectibles. Whether you’re a casual player hoping to grab a few spooky units or a hardcore grinder targeting complete index completion, the Frightrot Update offers something valuable for every playstyle.
I’ll be grinding through the entire five day event and documenting spawn rates, optimal strategies, and any surprise content the developers slip in. The Halloween season in Steal a Brainrot is shaping up to be legendary, and I can’t wait to see what cursed combinations the Witch Craft system enables. Save this guide, set your alarms for October 25, and prepare for the most chaotic Halloween celebration in Roblox history.
