Break and Steal an Egg on Roblox runs on a simple loop: enter a zone, smash eggs, grab the animals that pop out, and bring them back to your base to generate income. The tool driving all of that is your pickaxe. Every egg has a health bar, and your pickaxe power determines how fast you drain it. Get the wrong pickaxe for your current zone and you will be chipping away at eggs for way too long. This guide covers all 20 pickaxes, what they cost, how much power they deliver, and which upgrades actually matter.
How does pickaxe power work in Break and Steal an Egg?
Pickaxe power is a flat damage-per-swing value applied directly to an egg's health bar. A Hacker Pickaxe with 15 million power, for example, cracks an egg with 30 million health in exactly 2 hits. There is no speed stat attached to your pickaxe, so upgrading power is the only way to break eggs faster. Running speed is a separate progression system handled through your treadmill, not your pickaxe.
The Pickaxe Shop sits next to the Animal Merging machine on the left side of spawn, inside the Safe Zone. Buying is straightforward: walk up, find the pickaxe you can afford, click the price displayed beneath it, and equip it. Your pets generate cash passively over time, so the faster you build a strong pet collection, the faster you can fund your next pickaxe upgrade.

What are the best pickaxes to prioritize?
Break and Steal an Egg Pickaxes Guide
Early game: Common to Rare
The Wooden Pickaxe starts you at 1 power, which is essentially just enough to break the most basic eggs. Spend your first $80 on the Stone Pickaxe immediately. The jump from 1 to 4 power is modest, but the Iron Pickaxe at $800 and 15 power is where things start feeling real. After testing the early zones, the Diamond Pickaxe at $160K and 250 power is the first genuinely satisfying upgrade: it opens up egg types that the Golden Pickaxe struggles with.
Mid game: Epic to Mythic
The Cactus Pickaxe at $6M and 4K power marks the point where you can comfortably clear most mid-tier zones without waiting around. The Lightning Pickaxe ($40M, 15K power) is the Legendary tier's only entry and represents a clean checkpoint before the Mythic tier doubles down. Candy at 60K and Rainbow at 250K power cover the Mythic range, with Rainbow costing $2.8 billion. If your pet income is strong, do not sit on Candy longer than necessary.

Late game: Divine to Omega
From Crystal ($20B, 1M power) through to Enchanted ($200Qa, 250B power), this is where the cost curve becomes almost absurd. The Divine tier alone spans $20B to $120B. Cosmic pushes into the trillions. The real conversation at this stage is whether your pet setup and base upgrades can realistically sustain the cash generation needed.
How to buy a pickaxe
- Spawn into the game and head left toward the Safe Zone.
- Locate the Pickaxe Shop next to the Animal Merging machine.
- Browse available pickaxes and identify the highest tier you can currently afford.
- Click the price displayed beneath the pickaxe to purchase it.
- Equip the new pickaxe from your inventory.
Your pets deposit cash into your account passively, so if you are just short of an upgrade, leaving the game running for a few minutes while your pets work is a legitimate strategy.
