Within Escape Tsunami For Brainrots, there are currently multiple items you can purchase within the in-game shop to enhance your gameplay.
There are items like the (amazing) Harpoon Gun and the standard VIP membership, but there is also the VIP+ membership, which is considerably more in Robux, compared to the standard VIP membership.
The standard VIP membership is 149 Robux to buy, unless you’re purchasing the VIP via the Mystery Merchant, where it costs less. If you purchase VIP via the Mystery Merchant with Trade Tokens, it costs 123 Trade Tokens; which is where I purchased my VIP, as you’re making a saving of 26 Robux.
With standard VIP, you get access to the basic VIP rooms on the sides of the map (but not access to the VIP+ rooms), so you can hide in them with incoming waves. You also get a VIP tag next to your name within the chat.
Escape Tsunami For Brainrots promotes that standard VIP “boosts your chances of getting rare brainrots”, and I can’t say I noticed an increase in better rarity brainrots with standard VIP, but for being able to use the VIP rooms alone, I feel like it’s worth it.
With VIP+, the cost in Robux is 888 Robux, or it costs 945 Trade Tokens in the Mystery Merchant. It’s strange that standard VIP is cheaper in the Mystery Merchant, but VIP+ actually costs more via the Mystery Merchant.
888 Robux is expensive, there’s no denying that, but you do get some really nice bonuses.
Firstly, you get access to the VIP+ rooms nearer the end of the map, where the rarest brainrots spawn in Secret and Celestial zones – and this is so helpful during admin abuses with Celestial Races, Divine Races or for doing the Tsunami Tower quest.
When you purchase VIP+, you get the VIP+ tag next to your name in the chat both in normal servers and in the Trading Plaza. This isn’t really a dealbreaker for me, but what you do get a special VIP Trading Plaza Booth, which really stands out against the plain and boring white booths.
The VIP Trading Booth is yellow gold with colorful gems all over it, and it really does draw people to your booth. If you stand back and watch, people run over to the VIP booths first, over the standard white booths, and hopefully get you more sales because of that.
One of my personal favorite benefits of VIP+, is that you get the Rainbow Magic Carpet. It’s a gear item which you click to use, and it allows you to fly anywhere in Spawn, or anywhere at all in the Trading Plaza.
When a kid is constantly trying to smack you with a bat because it’s hilarious, you can just sit on your carpet, hovering over them, and they can’t touch you. You can also fly up to whichever level of your base you want, within seconds, and it’s just so handy.
Depending on when you purchase VIP+, you always get 5 Lucky Blocks from the store, and I just bought my VIP+, and got 5 x FrostFire Lucky Blocks for free, which is a nice bonus.
Next, you get “bonus Lucky Block luck”, and I have definitely noticed an increase in mutated Celestial Lucky Blocks spawning since upgrading to VIP+.
I have also noticed that any Lucky Blocks that are worth getting; Secret, Celestial, Divine and Admin Blocks, the level on them is definitely higher, since getting VIP+, so I don’t have to spend as much time/money upgrading them to level 250.
The best feature of VIP+, in my opinion, is the Insta Revive Chance. It doesn’t mention anywhere what the chance is, but sometimes, even if you’re holding a Wave Shield, and you get hit, and you try and hold another Wave Shield whilst the first finishes its cooldown, a wave can appear out of nowhere, like during the Doom, Arcade, Candy and Fire/Ice events.
With Insta Revive Chance, you can often get hit by a wave and be “saved” without being spawned back to your base. When it happens, you get a notification on the screen to tell you that VIP+ saved you.
It isn’t every time, obviously, but if you have it, it’s so helpful to have, especially when you’re trying to do the Divine Race, or trying to do the Atomic Tornados, Lucky Storm or Acid Rain events.
There is no denying 888 Robux is expensive, but I feel like you get so many benefits that will benefit your game in different aspects, that it is worth it, and it’s a huge upgrade on what you get with the standard VIP.
