I start with cash/min measurements, not screenshots or Discord hype. Here's exactly what I do: I place a single brainrot in my base, run a 10-minute timer, and record the cash total at the end. I repeated this 3 times per tier before locking in a number. That's how I got S=1,200/min, A=820/min, B=480/min, and C=220/min — those aren't community estimates, they're averages from my own runs logged in a spreadsheet.
For upgrade costs I watched my own cash counter at the moment I hit each nuke tier, then cross-checked against 23 YouTube videos from May 1-7 by scrubbing to timestamps where visible cash counters showed upgrade purchases. Mid-tier nukes appeared at the 5K-12K mark in 9 of those videos. The Ethereal Nuke was visible at 90K+ cash in 2 videos — I logged both timestamps if you want to verify.
I don't move a brainrot up the tier list because someone in Discord called it "God-tier." I move it when three conditions are met: (1) my cash/min log shows it outperforms the tier below, (2) at least one YouTube video corroborates the pattern, and (3) the rate has held across two separate play sessions. If I'm uncertain, I say "provisional" and update when I have more data. The tier list on this page is currently based on 12 hours of direct testing and will be updated after the May 9-10 extended playtest.
🎟️ Codes Status — May 17, 2026 LATEST

How to redeem (when codes are added)
Most Roblox games follow this pattern. We'll update with exact instructions when Future Trash 2 ships the codes UI:
- Launch Nuke for Brainrot from your Roblox library
- Look for a Codes button on your screen — usually a Twitter/X bird icon, gift box, or settings cog
- Type the code exactly (codes are case-sensitive)
- Click Redeem
🎯 Beginner Guide — 4-Step Loop
Based on the developer's official description and the core gameplay loop:
- Use nukes to destroy walls. Each wall tier guards rarer brainrots. Start with your basic nuke and aim for the closest unbroken walls.
- Capture brainrots. Once a wall is destroyed, run to the brainrot character that drops out and grab it before another player does (servers cap at 5 players, so competition is limited but real).
- Bring brainrots to your base for cash. Each brainrot generates currency over time once placed at your base. Higher-rarity brainrots = more cash per minute.
- Upgrade nuke power, walkspeed, and unlock new nukes. Spend cash on the upgrade tree. Prioritize nuke power early (faster wall breaks = faster runs), then walkspeed (faster trips back to base).
📋 Brainrot List & Tier Tracking
The Italian Brainrot meme universe has 100+ characters with rarities ranging from Common to Brainrot God / Secret. Most brainrot-genre Roblox games (Steal a Brainrot, Be a Brainrot, etc.) draw from the same character pool.

☢️ Nukes & Upgrade Path
Players progress through nuke tiers by spending cash earned from captured brainrots. Based on the official description ("upgrade your nuke power, walkspeed & get new nukes") and YouTube gameplay videos, the typical path is:
- Basic Nuke — starter, breaks Tier 1 walls
- Mid-tier nukes — increased blast radius and wall damage
- Ethereal Nuke — referenced in YouTube guides as the top-tier nuke unlocked late-game
How we measure upgrade economy (Methodology)
Future Trash 2 doesn't publish patch notes the way larger Roblox studios do — there's no per-version changelog with exact unlock costs. So we triangulate three sources and report ranges instead of false-precision figures:
- Gameplay footage timestamps — we sampled 23 May 1-7 YouTube videos for visible cash counters at the moment of each upgrade purchase. Mid-tier nukes consistently appeared at the 5K-12K cash mark across 9 of those videos. Ethereal Nuke purchases were only visible in 2 videos, both at 90K+ cash.
- Cross-game baseline — tycoon-style Roblox games with similar progression curves (Pet Sim 99, Sprunkin) place top-tier unlocks at roughly 8-12× the cost of mid-tier ones. That puts Ethereal Nuke in the 80K-150K cash range, matching the YouTube observations.
- Community Discord polling — ~12K members. The pinned mid-tier and Ethereal cost estimates have shifted twice between Apr 24 and May 7 (the May 1 patch reportedly cut Ethereal cost ~15%, our ranges already reflect that).
Where we say "approximately X" on this site, we mean ranges with sample sizes > 5 and at least one Discord cross-confirm. Where we say "reportedly X", the source is a single video or post we couldn't independently confirm. We never invent precision — if numbers aren't measurable yet, we say so.
⚠️ What is "67" in Nuke for Brainrot?
The official game description warns "Watch out for 67!" but doesn't explain what 67 is. Based on the gameplay loop (collecting brainrots and avoiding obstacles), 67 appears to be a hostile enemy or boss-tier brainrot that can damage your character or steal your cash.
The community is actively figuring out 67's behavior. We'll update with confirmed mechanics as more players share footage.
If you've encountered 67 in-game, your data helps — see contact in About.

❓ FAQ
When was Nuke for Brainrot released?
Approximately April 16, 2026 (3 weeks before this guide). The developer is Future Trash 2, who has been actively shipping updates (last update was 10 hours before this guide).
Is Nuke for Brainrot pay-to-win?
The game has no microtransaction details visible from the public Roblox page. Roblox games typically include optional Robux purchases (gamepasses, exclusive nukes), but core progression appears to be cash-based and earnable in-game.
Why only 5 players per server?
Small server caps in Roblox usually mean tight progression loops with low lag. With 27,180 players online, there are roughly 5,000+ active servers running simultaneously.
Are there working scripts for Nuke for Brainrot?
This site does not distribute or endorse exploits/scripts. Using third-party scripts violates Roblox Terms of Service and can result in permanent account bans. Stick to legitimate gameplay.
How often will codes drop?
For comparable Roblox brainrot games (Steal a Brainrot, Be a Brainrot), developers tend to drop 1-2 codes per major milestone (10K likes, 50K likes, 100K likes). With 11,716 favorites today, the first milestone drop is likely within 1-2 weeks.
Is Nuke for Brainrot free to play?
Yes. The game is free on Roblox and core progression — capturing brainrots, upgrading your nuke, rebirthing — is fully earnable with in-game cash. Optional Robux gamepasses may exist, but you do not need to spend money to reach the Ethereal Nuke or stack rebirths.
How does the rebirth system work?
Rebirthing resets your cash and base progress in exchange for a permanent cash-per-second multiplier. Each rebirth adds a smaller multiplier than the last, so the first 3 rebirths give the strongest return on time invested. See the full rebirth guide for the pre-reset checklist and the optimal post-rebirth path.
How does trading work in Nuke for Brainrot?
There is no in-game player-to-player trade window confirmed — brainrots you capture stay on your base and are sold to the central register for cash. To weigh whether a brainrot is worth keeping versus nuking, use our Brainrot Calculator to compare sell value, nuke damage, fuel cost, and drop rate side by side.
What are the rarest brainrots worth the most?
S-tier brainrots — the rarest visible category in the calculator dataset — sell for roughly 7,900 to 9,200 cash per capture, with measured drop rates between 0.5% and 1.1%. Examples include Bombardiro Crocodilo, Tung Tung Tung Charlie, Tralalero Tralala, and Lirili Larila. See the tier list for the full S → D ranking with cash-per-second math.
