Hey Bandits, Let’s Talk About Food & Firepower!
We’ve been hard at work refining what makes
Pizza Bandit unique — chaotic cooking missions, satisfying combat, and a lot of personality. After showcasing our sushi mission at
PAX West,
G-STAR, and
Taiwan Game Show, it became clear:
Cooking is core to the fun. So we’re leaning in all the way.

Cooking Missions & Restaurant Upgrades[/h2]
[h3]
Sushi Mission — Crowd Favorite[/h3]
We’ve experimented with different mission types, and the
cooking-centric ones hit differently. They bring out the humor, chaos, and team coordination better than anything else. Here's a quick look at our sushi mission.

Restaurant Customization — More Than Just a Lobby[/h2]
We always wanted the
Pizza Bandit restaurant to feel alive. We tested a bunch of ideas, but the one that stuck?
Decorating, customizing, and upgrading your pizzeria — and making pizzas that’ll help your team.Now, it feels like a natural part of the story:
• Customize and upgrade your shop layout 🍽️
• Unlock kitchen gear and decor
• Your restaurant level will give you certain benefits in the mission

Making Pizza in your Lobby[/h2]
We’ve completely reworked how pizza-making functions outside of missions:
- Loot ingredients (toppings) from missions — you'll need them to craft pizzas
- Make your custom pizza in the lobby kitchen
- Pull the pizza from the oven and place it on the table to share with your friends
- Toppings dictate the type of buff you’ll receive
- Buffs apply right from the lobby and remain active until you get knocked down during a mission
And here’s the twist —
during missions, when you successfully perform cooking actions, you’ll earn
Cooking Points. Rack up enough points and you’ll
unlock new pizza recipes that come with
stronger and more specialized buffs.

Weapon Mods & Loadout Expansion[/h2]
[h3]
Weapon Modification System Overhaul[/h3]
We’ve moved beyond basic stat boosts. Every weapon in Pizza Bandit now comes with
modification categories, and within each, you’ll choose from
2–3 unique upgrades to tailor your build. This lets you make meaningful decisions and allows your gear to match your playstyle—whether focused on firepower, utility, or survival.

Weapon Ascension (WIP)[/h3]
We’re exploring a new system called
Weapon Ascension. The idea is to give your favorite gear a second life, transforming a fully upgraded weapon into something even more powerful, possibly with unique effects or behavior. It’s still in development, but we’ll share more once the system is ready for feedback. 👀
That’s it for now — but we’re not done yet. Dev Log #3 will dive into cosmetics, monsters (old and new), and a few chaotic missions you haven’t seen before.
Until then,
come say hi on Discord and let us know what toppings you’re loading up 🍍🔥
