Plan your next Blood and Bacon session
Our independent guide examines Blood and Bacon’s documented components—modes, enemies, levels, pickups and Steam integration—so you can make informed choices without relying on undocumented mechanics or hidden bonuses.
01 / THE GUIDE
Mode Comparison
Run a short solo level, then repeat the same level in co‑op. Record differences in enemy density and how pickups appear when multiple players are present.
- Try a co‑op run first to learn enemy patterns before entering PvP.
- Compare your leaderboard position after playing different modes to see where you rank.
02 / THE GUIDE
Enemy Identification
Spend a session cataloguing each of the 25 enemy types. Note visual cues and attack patterns to improve reaction time during larger waves.
- Watch for miniboss attack cues, which differ from regular enemies.
- Use night levels to test visibility and enemy detection.
03 / THE GUIDE
Day vs. Night Lighting
Complete two comparable levels, one set in day and one at night. Compare visibility, enemy silhouettes and the appearance of meat‑grinder pickups.
- Switch between day and night levels to experience different visual challenges.
- Track your progress to gauge how much of the 15‑hour experience you have covered.
04 / THE GUIDE
Pickup Efficiency
Focus on killing enemies solely to generate pickups. Track which boosters (ammo, rockets, grenades) appear most frequently and adjust your loadout accordingly.
- Focus on killing enemies quickly to replenish ammo and boosters.
- Balance the use of rockets and grenades to manage large enemy groups.
05 / THE GUIDE
Steam Feature Verification
Enable Steam Cloud, play on one machine, then switch to another. Verify that your progress persists as described.
- Enable Steam Cloud to keep your progress when switching computers.
- Collect trading cards for a visual record of your playtime.
