Mutations in Escape Waves for Lucky Blocks are special modifiers that boost your brainrot's earning potential and trading value. Each mutation applies a multiplier to the money your brainrot generates, making them essential for efficient farming. Understanding which mutations exist, what they're worth, and where to find them is the fastest way to build wealth in the game.
Quick answer: The Hacker mutation offers the highest multiplier at 7.5x earnings, while Shiny provides the lowest at 1.5x. Most mutations spawn naturally on the map, but some require specific events or Admin Abuse sessions to obtain.
All mutations and their multipliers
Mutations range from common spawns to rare event-exclusive variants. The Shiny mutation increases earnings by 1.5x and appears naturally across all map areas with a visible shimmer effect and red text label. Gold and Toxic both provide 2x multipliers, with Gold appearing as a yellow block and Toxic spawning naturally as well.
The Lava mutation also grants 2x earnings but only has a 5% spawn chance during the Lava Event, making it harder to find than the baseline variants. Diamond jumps to 2.5x and displays a cyan color with matching text, spawning naturally across the map.
Rainbow and Taco both deliver 3x multipliers. Rainbow blocks cycle through different colors with shifting text, while Taco blocks appear only during the Taco Event and feature falling tacos as a visual effect. Huge and Pollinated both reach 3.5x: Huge spawns naturally with cyan text, while Pollinated requires bees to swarm the map and apply the mutation randomly to blocks in different areas.
The rarer mutations push higher. Cursed and Slimey both offer 4x multipliers. Cursed appears naturally in high-rarity zones with a purple color, and its spawn rate increases during Admin Abuse events. Slimey only appears in high-rarity areas when UFOs are visible in the sky. Neon provides 4.5x earnings with a bright green appearance and naturally spawns in high-rarity zones, with boosted rates during Admin Abuse.
The Hacker mutation stands as the strongest at 7.5x multipliers. Hacker blocks spawn during the Hacker Event and can also be obtained from the Hacked Wheel Spin. They display a green color similar to Neon blocks but with "Hacked" text instead.
A Party mutation is listed as coming soon, but has no confirmed multiplier or obtainment method yet.
How mutations stack
Lucky Blocks can receive multiple mutations simultaneously, though this is extremely rare. When a block has two mutations, their multipliers combine using a specific formula: add both multipliers together, then subtract 1 from the result. For example, a block with both Gold (2x) and Rainbow (3x) mutations would have a total multiplier of 4x (2 + 3 − 1 = 4).
To hunt for blocks with multiple mutations, you'll need to participate in Admin Abuse events, where the spawn rates for mutated blocks increase significantly and rare combinations become more likely.
Where to find each mutation
Most mutations spawn naturally across the map without any special conditions. Shiny, Gold, Diamond, Rainbow, and Huge all appear in regular gameplay across all areas. Toxic and Lava require less frequent spawning, with Lava restricted to a 5% chance during its dedicated event.
High-rarity zones produce Cursed, Slimey, and Neon mutations at higher rates. Cursed and Neon both become more common during Admin Abuse events, so timing your farming around these sessions can significantly improve your mutation haul. Slimey specifically requires UFOs to be visible in the sky, making it dependent on weather conditions.
Event-exclusive mutations demand participation in their specific events. Taco only appears during the Taco Event, while Hacker blocks spawn during the Hacker Event or can be pulled from the Hacked Wheel Spin. Party mutations have no confirmed availability yet.
Farming strategy
To maximize earnings, prioritize blocks with the highest multipliers available during your current session. If Hacker mutations are active, focus entirely on those blocks since 7.5x far exceeds other options. When Hacker is unavailable, target Neon or Cursed blocks in high-rarity zones, especially during Admin Abuse when spawn rates spike.
During regular gameplay without events, Rainbow and Huge mutations offer solid 3x and 3.5x returns, respectively, and spawn naturally, making them reliable targets. Avoid spending time hunting for Lava or Taco mutations unless you're already in their respective events, as the effort rarely justifies the return compared to naturally spawning alternatives.
Remember that multiple mutations on a single block compound their value dramatically. A block with two strong mutations can be worth far more than two separate mutated blocks, so don't ignore blocks that look unusual or have multiple text labels visible.
