The full contents of the World Cup update have not been officially detailed yet, so treat any specific brainrot list, prices, or rewards as unconfirmed until launch. What is locked in is the timing, which is what you need to plan around.

What to do before the World Cup update goes live

Build up a cash buffer. New brainrots usually arrive with high price tags, so stockpiling money now means you can buy the new collectibles the moment they appear instead of grinding from zero.
Defend your current brainrots. The core loop of the game is stealing brainrots from other players while protecting your own, so secure your most valuable units and keep your slaps and troll gear ready before traffic spikes at launch.
Sort your trades early. Trading is now a permanent feature accessed through a GUI button next to the Codes menu, so you no longer need to travel to a trade machine. Clear out duplicates and free up slots so you have room for whatever the update adds.
Open the game and join the official experience a few minutes before the window. Loading in early gets you past any launch-day queues and puts you in a fresh server as soon as the content flips on.

Be ready to redeem codes fast

New codes tend to launch alongside major updates and during Admin Abuse events, and several of them give free brainrots or currency. The catch is that many codes have a hard cap on redemptions and have been claimed within seconds of going public.

To improve your odds, have the Codes menu open the moment a code drops, paste it in immediately, and confirm. A successful redemption shows an in-game confirmation and the reward lands in your account right away. If you see an “expired” or “invalid” message, the redemption limit was almost certainly hit before you got there.

How to confirm the update is live

You will know the World Cup update has landed when servers restart and the new content appears in-game, including any fresh brainrots, lucky blocks, or limited features tied to the drop. If you are mid-session when the rollout begins, expect a brief server refresh before the new version loads.

If the update does not appear right at the listed time, give the servers a few minutes and rejoin. Large updates can take a short while to propagate across every server, and a quick relaunch usually pulls you into the latest version.

Lock the time in, keep a cash cushion, and have your trade slots and Codes menu ready. Do that beforehand, and you can spend launch day collecting instead of catching up.
