What is the 2026 Trait in Steal a Brainrot?
The 2026 trait is a New Year’s exclusive trait that celebrates 2026. When the brainrot walking on the conveyor belt gets this trait, you’ll see the text “26,” which almost looks like a cake, appearing on top of it. This trait gets randomly applied to any of the walking brainrots during the special Admin Abuse event. You don’t need to do anything special to get it. Just be online during the event and hope RNG is on your side.
The 2026 trait gives you a 6x income multiplier. And, since this is a special New Year’s trait, it is really worth having. This trait might never come back again after this event.
