October 2025 – A major new event has just landed in Plants vs Brainrots, and it’s shaking up everything from plant lineups to brainrot behaviors. Titled Prison Break, this update introduces a fully interactive capture system, new gear, redesigned brainrots, and a mysterious boss that rewards permanent luck bonuses.
Here’s a full breakdown of what’s new in this Plants vs Brainrots Prison Break Update.
New Limited-Time Event: Prison Break
The Warden has taken control, and your goal is to help capture and imprison dangerous brainrots roaming free. The Prison Break event functions as a progressive hunt:
- Track and capture specific brainrots to complete event objectives.
- Each successful capture unlocks a unique reward.
- Captured brainrots are locked behind bars, and the next target is revealed.
- Completing the full capture chain unlocks the grand prize.
Featured Event Brainrots:
- Baby Peperoncini And Marmellata
- Mattone Rotto
- Los Sekolitos
Capturing these event-exclusive brainrots is essential to progressing through the reward ladder.
Redesigned Brainrots
In addition to the event content, several existing brainrots have received visual redesigns for clarity and performance:
- Odin Din Din Dun → Now known as Kiwissimo
- La Esok Sekolah → Now Ospedale
- Vacca Saturno Saturnita → Now La Tomatoro
Players who owned these previously will automatically receive the updated versions.
New Plants Added
Five new plants have been introduced, offering new strategic options for both early and late-game play:
- Mango
- Copuccino
- Aubie
- Don Fragola
- Sunzio
Each comes with unique traits, and may play a role in new plant combinations and DPS strategies.
Buffed Plants
- Cocotank and Watermelon have been buffed, giving them stronger stats and making them more viable in current builds.
New Boss: The Warden
A brand new boss enemy has been added to the event and can be encountered during the prison capture process. Defeating this boss grants:
- A +0.5 permanent luck boost
- Additional chances at rare drops or exclusive rewards
While details about the Warden’s mechanics are still limited, players should prepare for a tougher encounter.
New Gear and Tools
Four new gear items have been introduced to enhance event progression and regular farming:
- Enhanced Watering Bucket – Speeds up plant growth
- Tazer – Stuns and damages brainrots
- Handcuffs – Required to imprison captured brainrots

These items are directly tied to the Prison Event and are critical for completing its objectives efficiently.
