How to Get the New Secret Unit Red Bearded Krabs in SpongeBob Tower Defense

The 25th update of SpongeBob Tower Defense brings the limited-time Goo Lagoon Event—and with it, one of the most sought-after secret units in the game: Red Bearded Krabs. Known for its powerful pierce attacks and extremely low drop rate, this unit has become the centerpiece of the event grind. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to get Red Bearded Krabs, the best farming methods, and key tips to increase your chances.

What is Red Bearded Krabs?

Red Bearded Krabs is a newly released secret unit available only during the Goo Lagoon event. It features a pierce attack type, meaning it can damage multiple enemies in a straight line—unlike AoE or single-target units. While its attack animation is slow, the damage output is extremely high, making it ideal for endless mode or late-game defense. This secret unit drops from Scoop Capsules with very low odds:

• 0.25% chance (1 in 400 capsules)
• 0.00125% chance (1 in 80,000) for the Shiny version

That makes it one of the rarest units in the game—requiring smart strategy and lots of patience to obtain. Also check out our Spongebob Tower Defense Codes & Tier List for more redeemable rewards.

How to Get Red Bearded Krabs

1. Farm Challenge Tokens

Participate in the Goo Lagoon event and select the Davy Jones (Nightmare) mode. It offers the most tokens per run—especially effective when using multiple accounts:

• One run can give 600+ tokens if you play with 3–4 accounts.
• This is the best way to build up Scoop Capsule currency fast.

2. Use Multi-Accounts + Macro Farming

To optimize grinding:

• Use up to 4 accounts for a 50% party token bonus.
• Run automatic macros with tools like AutoHotKey, TinyTask, or emulators like UG Phone.
• Set macros to auto-start and replay waves without manual input.

3. Buy Scoop Capsules

Once you’ve gathered enough Challenge Tokens, use them to buy Scoop Capsules from the Event Shop. Avoid buying Boosted Capsules:

• They require 3 normal capsules to craft.
• The drop rate isn’t significantly better.
• Not worth the token cost.

4. Open as Many Capsules as Possible

• The more capsules you open, the better your odds.
• Save some capsules for the end of the event in case a 2x Luck event happens—it will double your chances.
• Remember: it’s a numbers game.

Fast Farming Tips

• Use Strong Starter Units: If you don’t own meta units, Muscle Bob is a solid option.
• Party Farming: Always farm in a party with alternate accounts for the bonus.
• Macro Looping: Set up a 2-minute macro loop to automate runs and wave replays.
• Equip Good Relics: Power Patty is more effective than Lifeguard Whistle—it boosts all stats by 25%.

Red Bearded Krabs is one of the most powerful and rare units in SpongeBob Tower Defense, and getting it won’t be easy. But with the right farming strategy, multi-account setup, and macro automation, your chances improve dramatically. Skip the Boosted Capsules, focus on opening regular Scoop Capsules in large volumes, and keep grinding consistently.

With the Goo Lagoon Event ending on July 4, 2025, the clock is ticking—start grinding now if you’re serious about adding this secret unit to your collection. Keep an eye out for future updates and community guides—especially macro setups—so you can farm smarter, not harder. Good luck!
