Steal a Brainrot Update 73 arrived on October 31, 2026, bringing a new Halloween Trick or Treat event, the Headless Merchant, exclusive Brainrots, and a limited-time Bat Trait. Although the Headless Merchant has now left the game, the new collectibles introduced in this update are still worth learning about.
During the Halloween event, players could collect Candy Corn by visiting houses, while the merchant offered four exclusive Brainrots in limited stock. Another highlight was Scarino Crowino, a special Brainrot that had a chance to appear at large houses during Trick or Treat.
Here's a closer look at everything introduced in Update 73, including the new Brainrots, their original prices, and how the Halloween event worked.
What Was New in Steal a Brainrot Update 73?
Released on October 31, 2026, Update 73 introduced several Halloween-themed additions:
- Updated Game Environment: The game environment received a Halloween-themed update.
- Trick or Treat: Players could visit houses to collect Candy Corn.
- Headless Merchant: A limited-time merchant selling four Halloween-themed Brainrots.
- Scarino Crowino: A special Brainrot that had a chance to appear at large houses during Trick or Treat.
- Bat Trait: Flying bats had a chance to hit Brainrots and apply a special trait.
How Did the Trick or Treat Event Work?
Trick or Treat was the main Halloween activity in Update 73. Players could visit houses around the event area, ring doorbells, and receive different results.
1. Find Houses With Their Lights On
Not every house was available for Trick or Treat. Walk around the event area and look for houses with illuminated windows. If a house has no lights on, you may receive a "No one home" message.
2. Ring the Doorbell to Get Candy Corn
Once you find a house with its lights on, ring the doorbell and wait for the result.
You may receive Candy Corn, but not every interaction guarantees a reward. Some houses can also trigger tricks.
For example, La Casa Boo may give you 5–50 Candy Corn, while some encounters may knock you away without giving you any rewards.
3. Check Large Houses for Scarino Crowino
One of the most interesting rewards from the Trick or Treat event was Scarino Crowino, a Secret Brainrot that generates $135M/s. During the event, it had a chance to appear from large houses and walk toward your base. If you missed the opportunity to get one, stealing is another possible way to obtain it.
New Brainrots and Prices at the Headless Merchant
The Headless Merchant was one of the biggest additions in Update 73. He appeared approximately one hour after the Halloween Admin Abuse event ended, giving players some extra time to collect Candy Corn before the shop opened.
The merchant offered four new Brainrots in a one-time stock that would not be restocked. The Headless Merchant has now left the game, so the following prices represent historical event prices rather than current purchase options.
Headless Merchant Brainrot List
| Brainrot | Rarity | Original Price | Base Income | Reported Stock |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spooky Kart | Secret | 1,000 Candy Corn | $13M/s | 80,000 |
| Jacko Jakat | Secret | 3,500 Candy Corn | $41M/s | 50,000 |
| Scorpi Inferni | Secret | 7,500 Candy Corn | $76M/s | 15,000 |
| Puppetmaster | Secret | 12,500 Candy Corn | $177.5M/s | 5,000 |
Among the four merchant rewards, Puppetmaster had the lowest reported stock but the highest base income. Players who wanted to purchase it needed 12,500 Candy Corn.
How Did the Bat Trait Work?
The Bat Trait was a limited-time feature introduced during the Halloween Admin Abuse event. Unlike Trick or Treat, it didn't require players to knock on doors or collect Candy Corn. Instead, bats flew across the sky and had a chance to hit Brainrots, applying the Bat Trait and surrounding them with bats for a special Halloween-themed appearance.
Will the Headless Merchant Return?
The Headless Merchant has now left the game, meaning players can no longer purchase the four Brainrots through his shop.
However, his departure does not automatically mean that these Brainrots are permanently unobtainable. Stealing remains another possible way to obtain them through the game's core mechanics. Whether they can also be obtained through trading has not been confirmed.
Community Reactions: Calls for a Secret Admin Abuse
During the Halloween update, many players in the community called for a special Secret Admin Abuse event, hoping to get another chance to obtain rare Secret Brainrots. The Headless Merchant's limited availability also left some players disappointed, as many didn't have enough time to collect the rewards before the shop closed.
However, the developers ultimately went ahead with the Trick or Treat-themed Admin Abuse instead of hosting a separate Secret Admin Abuse event.
When Will Tsunami LTM Return?
Players have also been asking when the Tsunami Limited-Time Mode (LTM) will return.
In a Discord discussion, a player asked Sammy about its comeback date. Sammy suggested that it might return sometime in November or early December. If it doesn't happen then, January is another possibility.
