What to know
- The glitch revolves around the spawn machine interacting with the ATM and Black Hole machines
- It works best during luck-based weather events like Money Weather and UFO Weather
- Divine Brainrots can be duplicated without consuming the original under specific conditions
- The method is unstable and may stop working if the game updates or servers reset
Right now, players are heavily discussing a duplication exploit in Escape Tsunami for Brainrots that allows divine Brainrots to be copied using in-game machines. The method was popularized through a long-form gameplay video by YamashiP, where the exploit is shown working repeatedly across multiple sessions and weather events. What makes this glitch notable is that it doesn’t rely on trading or inventory desync alone, but on how the game handles spawn machine luck values when paired with certain machines.
Spawn machine dupe glitch overview
| Element | Purpose in the glitch |
|---|---|
| Spawn Machine | Generates Brainrots and tracks internal luck |
| ATM Machine | Used to trigger duplication without resetting luck |
| Black Hole Machine | Alternative dupe trigger during UFO Weather |
| Common Brainrots | Act as fillers to manipulate outcomes |
| Divine Brainrots | The duplicated target items |
The core idea is simple but relies on very specific behavior. The spawn machine appears to retain its accumulated luck even after outputting high-tier Brainrots. Under normal circumstances, this luck should reset or diminish, but when interacting with certain machines, that reset never happens.
How the spawn machine luck bug actually works
The exploit begins once your spawn machine has built up enough internal luck to generate divine-tier Brainrots. This usually happens naturally during events like Money Weather, where boosted drops and parkour rewards accelerate progression. Instead of directly claiming repeated spawns normally, the player diverts the output flow into machines that accept Brainrots as inputs.
The ATM machine is the first major example. When divine Brainrots are positioned correctly alongside lower-tier ones, the ATM processes the interaction but fails to properly consume or downgrade the divine item. The game registers the transaction, outputs a result, yet leaves the original divine Brainrot intact. Because the spawn machine’s luck value is never reset, the next interaction produces another divine, effectively duplicating it.
This behavior strongly suggests a server-side validation gap between item consumption and luck recalculation.
Using the ATM machine for duplication
The ATM method is the most consistent part of the glitch and the one demonstrated for the longest duration. You place a divine Brainrot into the interaction flow, surround it with common Brainrots, and activate the ATM sequence. The machine treats the divine as eligible for output without removing it from the pool. Each cycle results in another divine Brainrot appearing while the original remains usable.
What makes this particularly broken is that the ATM’s internal state does not force a reroll of the spawn machine. As long as you don’t fully reset the area or leave the server, you can repeat the process continuously. Players have reported filling entire bases with duplicated divines before the server refreshes.
To keep the exploit running smoothly, common Brainrots are leveled to maximum and placed around the base. This isn’t just cosmetic. Higher-level commons appear to reduce failure cases where the machine consumes the wrong item or breaks the interaction chain. During events like UFO Weather, aggressive waves can interrupt the setup, so having pre-leveled fillers minimizes downtime.
This preparation phase is why many players spend time upgrading commons before attempting mass duplication.
Black hole machine behavior during UFO Weather
When UFO Weather begins, the Black Hole machine becomes another reliable trigger. Unlike the ATM, the Black Hole machine aggressively pulls items, which can cause deaths or failed attempts. However, the same logic flaw applies. The divine Brainrot is registered for duplication but not removed from the machine’s internal reference.
In the showcased run, a divine Brainrot is successfully duplicated on the first Black Hole attempt, confirming that the glitch isn’t machine-specific but tied to how the spawn machine communicates item ownership and luck states during special events.
Limitations and risks of the dupe glitch
This exploit is extremely sensitive to server conditions. Dying at the wrong moment, resetting your base, or rejoining a server can collapse the luck state entirely. There’s also a high chance the method stops working without warning if the developers silently patch machine interactions.
Because this is an unintended exploit, there is always the risk of rollbacks or item wipes. Using it heavily may also flag abnormal inventories if detection systems are added later.
How players are using duped divines
Even when the glitch doesn’t directly produce the desired divine Brainrot, duplicated items are frequently traded. In the example shown, two duplicated Martino Brainrots are traded to obtain Dindin Volter, bypassing the need to spawn it naturally. This highlights how the exploit affects the broader in-game economy, not just individual progression.
Spawn machine dupe glitch with ATM Machine
The spawn machine duplication glitch is one of the most impactful exploits seen in Escape Tsunami for Brainrots so far. By abusing how luck persists across ATM and Black Hole machine interactions, players can generate divine Brainrots at a pace the game was never designed to support. If you’re experimenting with it, understand that it’s unstable, temporary, and very likely to be patched. Use the information to understand the system, not assume it will remain available.
