Want to progress 3x faster than other new players? This early game strategy guide reveals the optimal path to success.
The Golden Rule: Speed First
The #1 mistake new players make is spreading upgrades across multiple stats. Don’t do this!
Your first $30,000+ should go 100% into speed upgrades.
Why Speed Matters Most
| Benefit | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Reach blocks faster | Less time exposed to waves |
| Escape waves easier | Outrun rather than hide |
| Access rare zones | Further zones = better blocks |
| More runs per hour | Speed = efficiency |
Optimal Upgrade Order
Follow this exact order:
| Phase | Money Range | What to Buy |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $0 - $30,000 | Speed only |
| 2 | $30,000 - $50,000 | More speed (target 50+) |
| 3 | $50,000 - $100,000 | Carry capacity |
| 4 | $100,000+ | Base expansion |
Early Game Farming Strategy
Zone Selection
- Stick to shore until 40+ speed
- Ghost Lucky Blocks are fine for now
- Don’t chase rare blocks yet!
Run Optimization
- Start run right after wave passes
- Collect 1-3 blocks max
- Return before next wave warning
- Never get greedy!
Block Opening
- Open blocks immediately upon return
- Don’t hoard – Brainrots earn income
- Every second waiting = money lost
First Hour Milestones
Track your progress:
- Got free pet from dev group
- First 10 Lucky Blocks opened
- Speed at 30+
- Speed at 50+
- First 5 Brainrots earning
- Carry capacity at 3+
Common Early Game Mistakes
| Mistake | Why It’s Bad | What to Do Instead |
|---|---|---|
| Buying non-speed upgrades | Wastes money | Speed only until 50+ |
| Going too far out | Die to waves | Stay near shore |
| Hoarding blocks | No income | Open immediately |
| Ignoring free pet | Miss easy income | Join group first |
Income Snowball Effect
Early game feels slow, but income snowballs:
- Speed → Faster farming
- Faster farming → More blocks
- More blocks → More Brainrots
- More Brainrots → More income
- More income → Faster upgrades
Trust the process!
