Quick answer: Steal An Egg Update 6 — "Dr. Scramble's Revenge" — went live September 26, 2026. It adds a multi-phase Dr. Scramble Mecha boss that spawns every 30 minutes, a new paid Extinction Egg with 6 extinct-animal pets (each with a rare skeletal reroll variant), Dr. Scramble's Laboratory replacing the old Rift Trade-In Machine, a 100-tier Boss Milestone that ends in an Eternal pet, and 27 new pets in total. The new income king is the Skeletal Sabertooth at $9,000,000,000/s, which overtakes Aetheron ($6.9B/s). The rare boss drop is a new Divine, reported by pet-index sites as the Mecha Scrambler.
Steal An Egg is still the biggest experience on Roblox by a distance. A live Roblox Games API pull on September 30, 2026 (01:32 UTC) showed 992,399 concurrent players in the experience — more than any other title on the platform that hour. When the #1 game ships its sixth major update, the meta moves fast, and this one rewrites the top of the income ladder.
Here's everything that changed, what's actually worth chasing, and how the reworked trade-in system affects your eggs.

What is new in Steal An Egg Update 6?
Update 6 is built around one returning villain. The original Dr. Scramble event (Update 5, September 22) introduced the character; "Dr. Scramble's Revenge" turns him into a full recurring boss encounter and rebuilds the trade-in economy around his Laboratory.
The headline additions:
- Dr. Scramble's Mecha — a boss that spawns every 30 minutes; defeat it for Samples and milestone progress.
- A new Divine boss drop — a very rare reward for beating the boss; pet-index sites report it as the Mecha Scrambler. The official patch notes describe it only as "a super rare chance to obtain the newest Divine."
- Boss Milestone — a 100-tier reward track that caps with an Eternal pet at 100 kills.
- Dr. Scramble's Laboratory — replaces the Rift Trade-In Machine; you now trade eggs directly instead of hatched pets.
- 3 new banners with 15 new pets in the Limited section.
- Extinction Egg — a paid egg with 6 extinct-animal pets, each with a low chance to reroll as a rarer skeletal variant.
- Buffed pity — the pity system now guarantees a banner's top reward instead of a random one from the top three.
In total, IGN's pet index lists 27 new pets added with the Laboratory update: 15 from the new Limited banners, plus the Extinction Egg's 6 extinct animals and their skeletal variants (12 possible Extinction outcomes).
How does the Dr. Scramble boss fight work?
Every 30 minutes a portal opens to Dr. Scramble's Laboratory. As with the previous Rift Boss event, players join and fight the boss cooperatively — everyone who contributes gets rewarded. The Mecha fight runs across multiple phases, each adding new attacks.
Phase 1 — the Mecha uses three attacks: a short-range spin, a ground slam that sends out a shockwave, and a laser that sweeps the arena. The laser is easiest to dodge if you stay close to the Mecha, and the safe window to deal damage is right after it overheats.
Phase 2 — Dr. Scramble adds two more moves: he summons a Mecha Chompa pet to harass you, and a high-speed straight-line dash that catches players who aren't watching.
Phase 3 — the Mecha is destroyed and Dr. Scramble escapes inside its Core. You have to chase the Core down, lure it into the power pylons around the arena to stun it, and then land the final hits once he's exposed.
Each victory pays out 1,750 Samples, progress on the Boss Milestone, and a very rare chance at the new Divine boss drop. Samples continue the currency introduced in the original Dr. Scramble event, so anything you banked in Update 5 carries value here.
What is the best pet in Steal An Egg after Update 6?
The best pet in Steal An Egg is now the Skeletal Sabertooth, a Divine that generates $9,000,000,000 per second according to Eldorado's pet income index. That figure moves it ahead of the previous leader, Aetheron ($6,900,000,000/s), which held the top spot after the Angels vs Demons update.
The catch: the Skeletal Sabertooth is the skeletal reroll of the Sabertooth from the new Extinction Egg, and Eldorado puts the skeletal reroll chance at roughly 1%. So while it's technically obtainable, it sits behind two layers of RNG — first pulling the Sabertooth, then hitting the ~1% skeletal reroll.
The Extinction Egg itself is a paid egg built around 6 extinct animals — the community wiki lists the Sabertooth Tiger, Mammoth and Dodo among them — with each one carrying a low chance to hatch as a rarer skeletal version. If you're spending Robux on the egg, the standard versions still slot into the upper income tiers even without the skeletal reroll.
The new Divine boss drop from the Mecha fight — the Mecha Scrambler — is the other new chase pet. Unlike the Extinction pets it costs no Robux — just persistence against the boss — which makes it the best free target this update.
A note on income numbers: the developers don't publish exact $/s for every pet. The $9B/s Skeletal Sabertooth and $6.9B/s Aetheron figures come from community pet-index sites (Eldorado, IGN) and can shift with balance passes. Treat them as the current best community estimates, not official values.
How do you farm Update 6 efficiently?
Because the boss is on a fixed 30-minute timer, the most efficient Update 6 loop is built around it rather than around passive hatching. A clean rotation looks like this:
- Anchor to the boss timer. Set a mental (or literal) alarm for the next Laboratory portal. Missing windows is the single biggest source of lost Samples and Milestone progress, and the Eternal cap at Tier 100 is gated purely on kill count.
- Bank Samples between fights. Use the 30-minute gaps to run your normal hatch cycle and feed spare eggs into Dr. Scramble's Laboratory trade-in. Since you now trade eggs directly, you don't have to hatch-then-trade, so you can commit eggs the moment you have duplicates.
- Spend pity deliberately. With pity now guaranteeing a banner's top pet, don't scatter pulls across all three banners at once. Pick the single banner whose top reward you want most and drive its pity to the guarantee, then move on.
- Save Robux for the Extinction Egg only if you're chasing income. The skeletal reroll is the only route to the $9B/s Skeletal Sabertooth, so treat the Extinction Egg as an income investment, not a collection filler.
For most players the realistic goal for the first week isn't the Skeletal Sabertooth — it's the free Divine boss drop plus as much Milestone progress as your play time allows.
What are the three new banners?
The Laboratory introduces three new pet banners carrying 15 new Limited pets between them. These sit in the game's Limited section, which is where the mid-to-high income pets typically live before they rotate out. The exact banner rosters shuffle as the event runs, but two things are consistent this update: the pity buff applies to all three (top reward guaranteed), and the Limited tag means these pets have a finite availability window — once the banners rotate, the only way to get them is through trading.
That finite window is why value on new Limited pets tends to spike right after the banners close. If you're pulling now, you're pulling at the cheapest supply point; if you're trading later, expect to pay a premium for anything that rotated out.

How did Dr. Scramble's Laboratory change trading?
The Rift Trade-In Machine is gone. In its place, Dr. Scramble's Laboratory runs an Egg Trade-In System — the important difference being that you now feed it eggs directly rather than hatching pets first and trading those.
That's a real quality-of-life shift. Under the old machine you gambled hatches, then fed the results in; now you can commit eggs straight into the trade-in, which cuts a step and reduces the "I hatched junk and wasted it" problem.
The pity mechanic was also buffed. Previously pity guaranteed a random reward from a banner's top three; now it guarantees the banner's single top reward. On a three-banner update with 15 new Limited pets, that's a meaningful bump in how reliably a determined player can land the exact pet they're grinding for.
What are the Boss Milestone rewards?
Every Dr. Scramble kill advances the Boss Milestone, a multi-tier track that mirrors the milestone from the earlier Rift Boss event. The rewards get better as you climb, and the milestone caps at Tier 100 — an Eternal pet awarded at 100 boss kills.
At 1,750 Samples and one milestone tick per victory, and a boss that spawns every 30 minutes, hitting Tier 100 is a multi-day grind rather than a weekend sprint. Players chasing the Eternal cap should treat every 30-minute window as a standing appointment for the duration of the event.
Is Update 6 worth grinding right now?
Yes — and specifically because of timing. Steal An Egg update pets follow a predictable pattern: they're strongest and most valuable the week they release, then settle as supply grows and the next update resets the ladder. With the #1 experience on Roblox pushing nearly a million concurrent players, the demand side is as hot as it gets.
If you have limited time, prioritize in this order:
- The boss fight, for the free Divine boss drop and Milestone progress toward the Eternal cap.
- The Extinction Egg, if you're willing to spend Robux and want a shot at the $9B/s Skeletal Sabertooth.
- The new Limited banners, using the buffed pity to lock the top pet you actually want.
Value lists for a game moving this fast go stale in days, so anything you're trading, price against current community indexes on the day you trade — not last week's numbers.
