Fortnite's Steal the Brainrot creative map by Ferins (island code 3225-0366-8885) has launched a limited-time Love Event featuring exclusive Brainrot characters and new secret codes. Players can enter these codes at the in-game keypad terminal to spawn rare Love-themed Brainrots, add secret characters to the Brainrot Machine, and skip cooldowns during the event window.
Quick answer: Enter codes 141516 (makes Brainrot Machine ready) and 970607 (adds secret Brainrot to machine) at the red keypad terminal in the map center to unlock Love Event rewards immediately.

How to redeem codes in Steal the Brainrot
Step 1: Launch Fortnite and navigate to the Discover tab. Search for "Steal the Brainrot" or enter island code 3225-0366-8885 in the Island Code field, then start a private or public match.
Step 2: Spawn into the map and run to the center area between the Shop and the Galaxy Spin wheel. Look for the red keypad terminal standing on the grass.

Step 3: Interact with the keypad to open the PINCODE interface. Type your chosen code using the on-screen number pad, then press the ENT button to submit.

Step 4: Check the bottom of your screen for a confirmation notification. Messages vary by code: "Brainrot Machine Ready!" confirms machine codes, while spawn codes display the character name. If no notification appears, the code may be expired or already redeemed on your account.
After redeeming a machine-related code, visit the Brainrot Machine (large yellow box with black screen near your base) to see updated outcomes. For spawn codes, the character will appear on the conveyor belt running through the map center within seconds.
Love Event Brainrot Machine mechanics
The Brainrot Machine requires five Mythic-tier or higher Brainrots as input. After activation, it processes for 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on input rarity, then outputs one upgraded Brainrot. The machine displays percentage chances for possible outcomes at the bottom of its interface.
When you use code 970607, a "Secret" option with a question mark icon appears in the outcome list. This secret Brainrot typically offers higher cash-per-second rates than standard Mythic outputs. The exact character varies by event but remains exclusive to code users during the Love Event window.
Machine cooldown codes (574837, 911405) reset the timer immediately, letting you run another cycle without waiting. Use these strategically after placing high-value Brainrots to maximize rare spawns during limited play sessions.
Maximizing XP and cash generation
Collecting cash from the green pads in your base grants 10,000–90,000 XP per collection cycle, scaling with your rebirth multiplier. Running back and forth between pads resets the collection timer every few minutes, making this the fastest XP method in the map.
Purchasing Brainrots awards 1,000–3,000 XP per transaction depending on rarity. Stealing Brainrots from other players' bases grants 2,000–3,000 XP per successful theft. In private matches, you avoid theft competition and can focus on collection cycles without interruption.
Rebirthing your base resets all cash and Brainrots but increases your cash multiplier and adds one inventory slot. To preserve high-value Brainrots during rebirth, buy a rare character and let it walk far down the conveyor belt, then rebirth before it reaches your base—it will remain in your inventory after the reset.
The Chimpanzini Kingini (spawned via code 141516 in the video demonstration) generates $312.5 million per second at base multiplier. Placing multiple high-tier Brainrots like this in your base before collecting cash maximizes each XP payout.
Expired and inactive codes
The following codes no longer work as of February 2026. Attempting to redeem them will produce no notification or an "invalid code" message:
- 574641 (Upgrader Machine secret)
- 491941 (Upgrader cooldown skip)
- 581741 (Christmas Crafting cooldown)
- 274851, 964714, 519519 (Christmas Crafting secrets)
- 674312, 283472 (general machine codes)
- 157140, 670235, 835151, 305961 (spawn and cooldown codes)
- 294851, 738510, 942506, 691581 (Chocolate and Grande spawns)
- All numeric codes from 0108 through 9452 (early event codes)
Ferins typically rotates codes every 2–4 weeks to align with new events. Codes tied to seasonal events (Christmas, Valentine's, Love Event) expire when those events end. Check the in-game announcements board near the spawn point for the latest active code list.
Common redemption issues
Code not working: Verify you typed the exact digits shown in the active codes table. The keypad is case-insensitive but requires precise number entry. If the code was recently released, wait 5–10 minutes and retry—server propagation can delay activation.
No notification after entering code: You likely redeemed this code already on your account. Each code works once per Fortnite account across all matches. Joining a new server or restarting the map does not reset code eligibility.
Machine shows no new outcomes: Codes that add secrets to machines only take effect when you next open the machine interface. Exit and re-interact with the Brainrot Machine or Upgrader Machine to refresh the outcome list.
Spawned character disappeared: Rare Brainrots on the conveyor belt despawn after 60 seconds if not purchased. Other players in public matches can also buy the character before you reach it. Use private matches to guarantee claim time.
Love Event duration and Valentine Pack
The Love Event runs for approximately 3 weeks starting early February 2026. Exact end dates are not announced in advance but typically align with the next major Fortnite season update. Love-themed Brainrots and codes become inactive when the event concludes.
The Valentine Pack is available in the in-game shop for 2,000 Robux (discounted from 3,200). It includes the Love Rot character, Valentine Slap tool, and Valentine Base cosmetic. This pack is optional—all functional Love Event rewards are obtainable through free codes.
After the event ends, Love-themed Brainrots remain in your inventory and continue generating cash at their listed rates. However, you cannot obtain new Love Brainrots or use Love Event codes once the event window closes.
