The UFO Event Update in Escape Tsunami for Brainrots adds a small but important set of new mechanics that completely change how you farm brainrots during events. While the update isn’t massive, it introduces a new event currency, crafting system changes, and hints at higher-tier rarity content that grinders will want to pay attention to.
Here’s a complete breakdown of everything new, how it works, and what you should focus on.
UFO Event Explained (Wacky Waves Event)
The UFO content is tied directly to the Wacky Waves event.
You cannot farm UFO content at any random time.
How the UFO Event Works
- Wait for the Wacky Waves event to activate
- During the event, UFOs appear
- These UFOs drop UFO Brainrots
- Pick them up and return them to earn UFO Coins
This event-based design means timing matters. If Wacky Waves isn’t active, you won’t earn UFO coins at all.
UFO Coins & Spin Wheel Rewards
Once you collect UFO coins, you can use them on the new Spin Wheel.
Spin Wheel Details
- Costs UFO Coins
- Gives random rewards
- Rewards are tied to the event pool
The Spin Wheel is one of the main reasons to participate in the UFO event, especially if you’re aiming for rare or upgraded brainrots.
Spawn Machine (Major New Feature)
One of the most important additions is the Spawn Machine.
How the Spawn Machine Works
- Obtain any Brainrot (from blocks, events, or rewards)
- Insert the Brainrot into the Spawn Machine
- Deposit it
- Craft the result
Once crafted, the process is permanent.
What You Get
- A new Brainrot in return
- Potentially better rarity
- Chance for special event-based versions
This system encourages you to recycle weaker brainrots instead of deleting or ignoring them.
Black Hole Spawn Machine & UFO Mutation
There is also a Black Hole Spawn Machine, which works similarly but introduces mutation effects.
UFO Mutation
- Adds a UFO-themed mutation to Brainrots
- Cosmetic + progression value
- Makes event Brainrots stand out
You’ll need to fill the machine with Brainrots before crafting, so hoarding extras is actually useful now.
New Divine Rarity (Potential Addition)
The update hints at a new Divine rarity.
- Shown in promotional material and thumbnails
- Appears to exist in a secret area
- Extremely rare or not fully accessible yet
Even if it’s not fully obtainable right now, this strongly suggests future updates will expand on rarity tiers.
Shop Changes
The shop has received small updates:
- New items related to the UFO event
- Event-focused progression boosts
Nothing game-breaking, but worth checking if you’re actively farming.
Best Strategy for the UFO Event
If you want to maximize progress during this update:
- Log in specifically during Wacky Waves
- Prioritize collecting UFO Brainrots
- Farm UFO Coins efficiently
- Use coins on the Spin Wheel
- Save extra Brainrots for Spawn Machine crafting
- Avoid deleting low-tier Brainrots — they now have value
This update rewards players who recycle and grind smart rather than just hoarding.
