Bake or Die Weapons

Bake or Die promo art with chef holding submachine gun versus an obese green zombie and a carrot-headed zombie — A Bake or Die chef firing a submachine gun against an obese green zombie and a carrot-headed zombie — the SMG sits at the top of the early-game weapon ramp.

Weapons fall into two buckets: a clear early-game shop ramp, and a small set of late-game specialty weapons earned through bosses or four-part assembly. This page documents the confirmed buy order, where to look for the Ray Gun, and how to keep the Auto Turret fed.

Ray Gun in Bake or Die — both routes

Public Bake or Die guides confirm two paths to the Ray Gun. Either is valid; most players run both in parallel during late-game sessions.

Assembly route. Find four parts on the map: Barrel, Core, Gage, Handle. Components are scattered across zones, with Bake or Die part rolls varying per server. Combine in your inventory to get the Ray Gun.
Boss route. Defeat the Mad Scientist boss in the Secret Lab. The Mad Scientist drops the Ray Gun blueprint, which lets you craft it.

Both Bake or Die routes can be active in the same run. If you grab two parts but lose them on death, the boss drop is your safety net.

Auto Turret economy

The Auto Turret is the highest-impact early craft. It shoots zombies on its own during the the night phase, freeing you to focus on melee zones, repairs or boss fights. The Bake or Die Auto Turret blueprint comes from rescuing a specific NPC. Ammo comes from the Gunsmith store.

Place 1-2 Auto Turrets at your main entry funnel during the day phase.
Stockpile turret ammo before each night — running dry mid-wave is a typical loss state.
Technician class unlocks an Advanced Auto Turret variant in Bake or Die at Level 3.
