How to Get Crafting Materials Like Brute Tooth in Roblox Shibuya [Beta]
The confirmed crafting-material drop in Roblox Shibuya [Beta] is Brute Tooth from the field curse Brute. Defeat the Brute, watch for the loot box, hold E to CONTAIN, and see how Agent Hoshino at HQ handles specimens.
Quick answer
Defeat field curses — the confirmed crafting-material drop in Roblox Shibuya [Beta] is Brute Tooth from the field curse Brute. Beating the Brute drops a loot box, and the game confirms it on screen: 'You have received Brute Tooth x1'. Finish the takedown by holding [E] CONTAIN on the downed curse until it shows 'CONTAINED'.
- The Brute Tooth message and the CONTAIN interaction happened in the same stretch of the fight — stay on the downed curse, keep holding [E] until it reads 'CONTAINED', and watch for the reward text in that window rather than sprinting off.
- Inside the HQ building, Agent Hoshino handles specimen deliveries: HQ Lab grants +Merit, Black Net grants +Sin.

The confirmed Brute Tooth source: the Brute
If a craft is waiting on Brute Tooth, the route to run is the field curse Brute. Defeating it drops a loot box, and the game spells the reward out with on-screen text: "You have received Brute Tooth x1." So when Brute Tooth is the missing piece, the answer is to get out into the field, find the Brute, and win the fight.
Keep one distinction in mind while you plan runs: the drop confirmed here belongs to the Brute specifically. Whether other curses hand out materials of their own is a separate question — the Brute is the source you can actually count on when the goal is Brute Tooth.
From kill to CONTAINED: how the takedown plays out
Beating a curse isn't a single button press. The Brute fight shows the full two-beat sequence:
Mechanic flow
- 1
Defeat the Brute
Fight the field curse and bring it down. The kill drops a loot box, and on-screen text confirms the reward: 'You have received Brute Tooth x1'.
- 2
Hold [E] CONTAIN
With the curse downed, hold [E] CONTAIN on it and keep holding until the game shows 'CONTAINED'. The Brute Tooth loot message appeared during this same defeat-and-contain stretch.
In practice, that means the moments right after the kill matter. The loot announcement turned up during the same stretch as the CONTAIN interaction, so stay on the downed curse, hold [E] until 'CONTAINED' appears, and keep an eye on the reward text through that window rather than sprinting off the moment the curse falls.
Specimen deliveries at HQ: Merit or Sin
Inside the HQ building you'll find NPC Agent Hoshino, whose dialog offers two useful options: 1. "I've got a specimen for you" and 2. "I need ofuda." The specimen option comes with clear outcomes depending on where you deliver:
- Deliver specimens to the HQ Lab → the game grants +Merit.
- Deliver specimens to Black Net → the game grants +Sin.
The delivery spot you choose decides which of the two you're granted. And if you're after ofuda, option 2 puts that request on the same dialog list, making Hoshino the NPC whose menu includes it.
Where materials fit in the wider game
Once Brute Tooth is secured, the crafting side takes over. The Shibuya crafting guide covers the crafting system, and the Shibuya armor and Shibuya weapons pages cover the gear side. If the Brute fight itself is the hard part, the Shibuya combat guide and the page on how to parry are worth a read before the next hunt.
