Chef Survivor guide: every weapon, evolution, chef, kitchen and level
The complete reference for Chef Survivor, the offline roguelike survival game for Android: all 36 weapons and the evolution each one becomes, the catalyst passive that triggers it, all 36 passive items, the 13 permanent upgrades with their coin costs, all 16 chefs with their bonuses, starting weapons and unlock conditions, all 12 kitchens with their hazards and bosses, and all 30 levels. Generated from the game's own data files for version 2.0.0, so it says what the build says.
Weapons
36 to start with, each evolving into one more. A weapon reaches max level at 5; pair it with the right passive and it becomes something else.
A weapon evolves once it is at max level and you hold its catalyst passive at any level: the next level-up deals a golden evolution card, and the next treasure chest you open gives it first. Evolved weapons arrive fully formed.
