Matteo Hat

Earning the Matteo Hat trait turns any brainrot into a noticeably stronger earner — its x3.5 income multiplier triples and then some the base cash-per-second that brainrot generates. That puts it solidly in the mid-upper tier of traits: not as dominant as the legendary x9 Strawberry, but far more valuable than the common x1.5–x2 range, and obviously leagues ahead of the x0.5 Sleepy trait, which is the only one that actually cuts your income.

Getting Matteo Hat falls under the rituals category, which means it doesn't come from seasonal holiday events or the standard Red Carpet window. Instead, it's tied to the Matteo ritual or drops during an Admin Abuse event — limited occasions where Roblox staff spawn into the server and trigger special chaos. During that ritual, a tree grows out of the middle of the Red Carpet and lightning starts striking; any brainrot that wanders into the tree or gets hit by lightning has a chance to walk away with this trait permanently branded on it.

Because traits are permanent and stack on top of any Mutation your brainrot already has, a Matteo Hat brainrot is a prime trading commodity. A strong mutation combined with a x3.5 trait compounds into serious passive income — guard that brainrot carefully on your base, since a successful steal hands that entire value straight to your rival.
