Hungry Pig Shop Priority Checklist
Tick through buys in order so every Points streak actually makes you stronger.
Use this shop priority checklist as an interactive-style planner while you play Hungry Pig. Read a box, do the action in-game, then mentally tick it before spending again. It complements the prose Shop Guide and the rankings on Point Shop Tier List / Premium Items.
Parent hub: Tools.
Phase 0 — before you spend anything
- Sprint works on my device (Controls)
- I can find glowing letters and steal once without opening the shop mid-chase (How to Steal Food)
- I joined SoundTrackZack and liked the game for WASP wings
- I know Points are top HUD; steal count is bottom-left
- I checked Codes — still no active codes, so I am farming fairly
If any Phase 0 box is unchecked, fix it before buying novelty items.
Phase 1 — first Points (escape backbone)
Spend order (stop as soon as you own one solid escape):
- Banana peel purchased (default first buy for most players)
- Or spider webs if my routes are already doorway-heavy
- Practice one peel/web escape successfully
- Optional second control: taser or ice gun
- Refuse C-tier flex buys until Phase 2
Phase 2 — the 500-Point handgun breakpoint
- Escape tool feels reliable
- Saved to 500 Points without panic-spending
- Handgun purchased
- Hotbar arranged: escape tool + handgun reachable under pressure
- Fired handgun while strafing (not standing still)
Phase 3 — sustain kit
- Med kit owned for non-boss chip damage
- Ghost speed owned for open-field breaks
- Considered portals only if I can place them calmly
- Tried grow/shrink potions in a low-stakes moment
- Skipped hammer/boogie/trowel until the above feel natural
Phase 4 — spice & situational
- Hammer for aggressive turn-fights (optional)
- Boogie bomb for stacked aggro lobbies (optional)
- Trowel for cover experiments (optional)
- Re-checked tier list if prices changed (Patch Notes)
Phase 5 — Premium (Robux) gate
Only continue if Phases 1–2 are solid:
- I still die less from missing peels than from missing DPS
- I want minigun for sustained fire (recommended Premium first buy)
- Or I want become a pig for fun with friends (novelty)
- Purchased in Premium shop
- Rejoined Hungry Pig
- Confirmed item in inventory after rejoin
- Did not buy fake “free Premium” scripts (Scripts)
Boss interrupt checklist (insert anytime)
When the ~10-minute boss spawns (Boss guide):
- Close shop UI immediately
- Pick up free boss weapon
- Group with server and shoot
- Use wings to regroup if needed
- Resume this checklist only after the boss dies
Session scorecard
After 20–30 minutes, rate yourself:
| Question | Yes / No |
|---|---|
| Did I buy escape before flex? | |
| Did I hit handgun without going broke on junk? | |
| Did I rejoin after any Premium buy? | |
| Did I stop shopping during boss? | |
| Did wings stay equipped? | |
| Did I ignore fake codes? |
Six yes answers = excellent shop discipline.
Example Paths
Path A — pure F2P
Peel → web or taser → handgun → med kit → ghost speed → portals.
Path B — F2P then Premium
Path A through handgun → minigun → rejoin → keep using peels anyway.
Path C — returning player after patch
Retest sprint → skim patch notes → rebuild Phase 1 if item names/prices shifted → continue.
Anti-checklist (do not do)
- Buy Premium on minute one
- Skip wings because “I will buy speed later”
- AFK auto farm for Points (Auto Farm)
- Stand in shop during boss
- Assume med kits hard-counter boss one-shots

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
What is the first Hungry Pig item I should buy?
Usually a banana peel or another S-tier escape tool before saving for the 500-Point handgun.
When should I buy the handgun?
After you own a reliable escape item and can bank 500 Points without dying every steal.
Where does Premium fit in the checklist?
Phase 5—only after escape tools and ideally the handgun. Always rejoin after buying.
Should I shop during the boss?
No. Close the shop, take the free weapon, and shoot with the server first.
Does this checklist replace the tier list?
No. Use both: the checklist for order, the tier list for why an item ranks high.
