How to Use Scrambled in Steal an Egg
Learn how to use Scrambled in Steal an Egg, buy the Scrambled Mutation Consumable for 475 Samples, apply it to an egg, and understand its 10% success chance.
To use Scrambled, purchase a Scrambled Mutation Consumable from Dr. Scramble's Experiment Shop with Samples, equip it, and apply it to an unhatched egg. Each use has a 10% success chance to give the egg the Scrambled mutation.
Scrambled works just like the standard Mutation Consumable. If you already understand that item, the application steps are the same. See the Mutation Consumable Steal an Egg Guide for the original mechanic.
To calculate Scrambled together with other mutations, use the additive formula in the Mutation Multiplier Steal an Egg guide. Scrambled contributes +1.75 to a combined multiplier rather than multiplying its full x2.75 by every other mutation.

How to Buy the Scrambled Mutation Consumable
- Watch the bottom-left countdown for the next Dr. Scramble drone invasion.
- Join the synchronized invasion when it begins. It starts every 30 minutes and lasts five minutes.
- Destroy Dr. Scramble's Drones and collect Samples.
- Open Dr. Scramble's Experiment Shop.
- Find the Scrambled Mutation Consumable.
- Purchase one for 475 Samples while it is available.
For the full invasion schedule, Samples loop, eggs, and other shop items, read the Dr. Scramble Secret Experiment event guide.
How to Farm Samples Quickly
The green currency dropped by drones is called Samples. Some players describe it as the new boss-token-style currency because it is spent on event rewards, but the Experiment Shop labels it as Samples.
To farm Samples faster, focus on high-HP drones first because higher-HP drones give more Samples. The event takes place across the map area from Abyss Ocean through Angels & Demons, so search those biomes during the five-minute invasion instead of waiting in only one location.
How to Use Scrambled on an Egg
After buying the consumable:
- Return to your base or hatching area.
- Find the unhatched egg you want to mutate.
- Open your inventory and equip the Scrambled Mutation Consumable.
- Stand close to the egg.
- Hold the displayed interaction key—normally
Eon keyboard—or use the mobile interaction control. - Check whether the 10% Scrambled mutation attempt succeeds.
The application process matches the standard Mutation Consumable: equip the item, approach an unhatched egg, and use the interaction prompt.
Scrambled Success and Failure Chance
Each Scrambled Mutation Consumable has a 10% chance to succeed and a 90% chance to fail.
- A successful attempt applies the
x2.75Scrambled mutation to the egg. - A failed attempt does not mutate the egg.
- The consumable is used for that attempt, just like a standard Mutation Consumable.
- If an attempt fails and the egg remains eligible, you can try again with another Scrambled consumable.
The 10% chance applies independently to each use. Using ten consumables does not guarantee that one will succeed.
Which Egg Should You Use Scrambled On?
Because the success chance is only 10%, consider saving Scrambled consumables for an egg whose base income makes the x2.75 multiplier valuable. Review the egg's normal Money / Sec before applying a limited consumable.

Scrambled vs. Mutation Consumable
| Feature | Scrambled Consumable | Standard Mutation Consumable |
|---|---|---|
| Currency | Samples | Boss Tokens |
| Shop | Experiment Shop | Boss Shop |
| Listed cost | 475 Samples | 400 Boss Tokens |
| Success chance | 10% | 10% |
| Application | Use on an unhatched egg | Use on an unhatched egg |
| Result | Scrambled mutation (x2.75) | Fractured mutation (x2.75) |
The main difference is where the item comes from and which mutation it applies. The actual use process and 10% success mechanic are the same.
