Dr. Scramble's Lab in Steal an Egg: Location, Parts & Prices
Dr. Scramble's lab sits inside a hidden cave in the Abyss Ocean biome, and it anchors the newest event running through Steal an Egg. The scientist has sent armed drones across the map, and every drone knocked down drops Samples, a currency tied only to this event. A damaged vault waits inside the lab too, and repairing it takes a specific set of parts scattered between the open biomes and the drones themselves.
Reaching the lab and clearing the vault pays off well beyond bragging rights. The Stolen Experiment Vault hands out a melee tool that no shop sells anywhere else, and the Samples collected along the way buy limited eggs and a mutation item from a separate shop. Both rewards disappear once the event window closes, so a player who wants them needs a plan for the location, the parts, and the shop before starting.
The lab entrance, both types of vault parts, the claim step, and every shop price line up below, in the order a player would actually tackle them.

A secret room sits to the left of the cave entrance behind a vent, reached by jumping up rocks, and it turns out to be Brockodile's room
Defeating Dr. Scramble's drones during timed invasions drops Samples, the currency spent in the event shop
The Stolen Experiment Vault needs five parts total, two fixed Lost Parts and three random Drone Parts

Dr. Scramble's Experiments sells the Scrambled Mutation, the Experiment #001 Egg and the Experiment #013 Egg for Samples
Where to Find Dr. Scramble's Lab in Abyss Ocean
The lab entrance sits inside the Abyss Ocean biome, positioned between the Prehistoric and Volcano zones on the map. A player needs to walk down to the rock wall along one side of the biome until an unlit opening comes into view. Pressing the interact button at that opening teleports the player straight into the Secret Cave, which functions as the lab entrance itself.
The path to the cave follows the same route on every server, and it breaks down into three sequential steps.
Walk past the Volcano zone until you reach the Abyss Ocean biome.
Trace your steps along the right side of the biome's outer wall until a dark, unlit opening appears in the rock.
Press the interact button at that opening to teleport straight into the Secret Cave.
Inside the cave waits the escaped Experiment #013, known to players as Nibbles, along with the start of the Stolen Experiment Vault quest. A player who talks to Nibbles logs the quest right away, and that conversation has to happen before any vault part counts toward the tracker.
The secret room sits to the left of the cave entrance, hidden behind a vent tucked into the rock wall. Reaching it means jumping up a short stack of rocks positioned just left of the gate, then climbing straight into the vent opening.
Inside, a poster for Experiment #001 hangs on the wall, and a plushie sitting on the floor next to a computer that stays switched on gives the room away as Brockodile's, even though nobody is standing inside it.

How to Farm Samples During the Dr. Scramble Experiment Event
Samples work as the only currency tied to the Dr. Scramble event, and every drone knocked down drops a handful. The event runs on a fixed cycle across every server, with drone waves flooding the map every 30 minutes and staying active for 5 minutes before the wave clears. Equipping a bat or sword and swinging at a drone chips away its health bar with each connected hit.
Drone health splits into three tiers, and each one pays out a different amount of Samples once defeated.
Drone Tier | Health | Sample Payout |
|---|---|---|
Light drone | 3 HP | Small, frequent Sample drops |
Standard drone | 5 HP | Moderate Sample drops per kill |
Heavy drone | 10 HP | The largest Sample payout on the field |
Staying in open, high-traffic spots such as the main hub keeps a player near the densest drone clusters once a wave spawns. Splitting attention across every drone in the wave instead of chasing one target at a time clears the field faster and stacks Samples before the five-minute window runs out.
Delivering any stolen egg to the safe zone before joining a drone fight matters too, since cross-map skirmishes during an active wave are a common way runs get interrupted. Clearing as many drones as possible during each cycle builds a Sample balance fast enough to shop for the event's limited items well before they disappear.
How to Find Lost Parts for the Vault
Two of the five vault pieces sit fixed in the open world instead of dropping from drones, and both count as the easiest parts to grab. Neither pickup registers on the vault tracker until a player has spoken with Nibbles inside the Secret Cave, so that conversation needs to happen before either spot gets checked.
Both locations stay the same on every server and never despawn, and each one takes a direct route to reach.
Head into the Volcano biome and climb up high, since Lost Part #1 sits well above ground level and needs a boosted jump to reach.
Head into the Prehistoric biome and check behind the bush near the sleeping T-Rex landmark, where Lost Part #2 sits waiting on the ground.
Picking up either part triggers an on-screen confirmation banner along with an updated tracker count, so a player always knows the pickup actually counted. If that banner never appears, the quest still needs logging with Nibbles before the spot will register anything.
Grabbing both Lost Parts first clears half the vault requirement before a single drone wave even spawns. That leaves the rest of an event window free for chasing the three remaining Drone Parts instead of splitting attention between fixed pickups and random drops.
How to Find Drone Parts for the Vault
The other three vault pieces come only from defeating Dr. Scramble's drones during an active invasion window, and no single drone guarantees a drop. Every drone carries a random chance at dropping a Drone Part alongside its usual Sample payout, so clearing as many drones as possible across a wave raises the odds of a piece actually landing. The Nibbles conversation requirement applies here too, since an unlogged quest means a dropped part never reaches the vault tracker.
Farming Drone Parts comes down to volume and consistency more than any single trick, and a short set of habits speeds up the process.
Join a busy server: more players fighting the same wave means more drones spawning and more total drop rolls.
Clear every drone, not just the toughest ones: Drone Part drops aren't tied to a specific HP tier, so low-health drones matter just as much.
Recheck the tracker after each wave: confirming a drop landed prevents wasted time searching a biome for a part already collected.
Drone Parts end up as the real bottleneck in the vault quest, since Lost Parts are guaranteed and these three depend entirely on random drops instead. Repeating the drone-hunting loop across several event cycles usually closes out all three parts within the same play session.
Once both Lost Parts and all three Drone Parts sit in inventory, the vault tracker reads complete and the claim step becomes available.
How to Claim the Rewards From the Stolen Experiment Vault
Once the vault tracker shows two Lost Parts and three Drone Parts collected, all five pieces are ready to turn in at the same time. Returning to the Secret Cave in Abyss Ocean and opening the Stolen Experiment Vault screen again brings up a Claim option that stays inactive until every slot fills. Selecting Claim hands over the reward right away and closes out the quest line for that account.
The claim process itself only takes a few short steps once every part sits in inventory.
Confirm the tracker shows both the Lost Parts counter and the Drone Parts counter reading complete.
Come back to the same Secret Cave entrance in Abyss Ocean used to start the quest.
Open the vault screen and select Claim, and the reward drops straight into inventory the moment the option registers.
The reward for finishing the vault is the Scrambler, a glowing green melee tool that knocks back any player it hits on contact. It doubles as a drone-clearing weapon for the rest of the event, and the knockback works just as well for stopping an egg thief mid-run as it does for clearing a wave of drones.
Nothing about the reward requires a purchase, since the entire vault quest line runs on parts collected through normal play instead of Robux. A player who finishes the Lost Parts and Drone Parts hunt walks away with a permanent tool for the cost of time alone.
Dr. Scramble's Experiments Shop Prices
Every Sample collected from drones can be spent inside Dr. Scramble's Experiments, a limited shop that opens from the pet menu once a player has a balance saved up. The shop carries six event-only items split across two rows, a set of limited eggs and a mutation item up top and three short-term boosters below, and none of them show up anywhere else in Steal an Egg.
Spending with a plan matters here, since every item in the shop leaves the game once the wider event wraps up. Each item carries its own Sample price and its own purchase limit, listed below.
Item | Sample Cost | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
Scrambled | 475 Samples | Gives a 10% chance to apply the Scrambled mutation to an unhatched egg, limited to 1 purchase |
Experiment #001 | 6,500 Samples | Secret-rarity egg exclusive to the event shop, limited to 1 per account |
Nibbles #013 | 2,950 Samples | Cosmic-rarity egg tied to Nibbles himself, limited to 3 per account |
2x Cash Booster | 275 Samples | Doubles cash earnings for 10 minutes |
1.25x Speed | 375 Samples | Increases movement speed by 1.25x for 5 minutes |
2x Treadmill Booster | 375 Samples | Doubles the Treadmill boost for 10 minutes |
Purchase limits cap the two eggs specifically. Experiment #001 allows only one copy per account, and Nibbles #013 allows up to three, so checking the shop panel confirms how many copies remain before spending. Boosters carry no such cap and can be bought repeatedly, and each one only runs for the short duration listed above.
Banking a large Sample balance early in the event window leaves room to buy every priced item before the shop disappears for good. Prioritizing the Scrambled item first protects against missing it entirely, since both event eggs stay visible as a savings goal even after the mutation item gets picked up.
FAQs About Dr. Scramble's Lab in Steal an Egg
Final Words
Dr. Scramble's event rewards a player willing to actually explore instead of grinding the same spot on repeat. The Lost Parts alone take real map knowledge to track down, and the drone waves reward whoever stays near the busiest parts of the server instead of waiting in a corner for a lucky drop. None of the rewards tied to this content ever require spending real money, which keeps the entire event open to anyone willing to put in the time.
Building a habit of checking the vault tracker and the shop panel after every wave keeps Samples from going to waste and keeps the parts hunt organized instead of scattered. Treating the Secret Cave as a regular stop during any play session pays off, since both the vault reward and the shop items disappear for good once the event wraps.
