If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably spent countless hours descending into the terrifying underground levels of Deadly Delivery, desperately searching for ingredients while avoiding those creepy entities that lurk around every corner. But let me tell you about the game-changer that completely transformed my gameplay experience: finding Gordon.
When I first heard about this mysterious chef NPC who could unlock an entire cooking system, I was skeptical. I mean, in a game where survival is already challenging enough, why would I risk everything to find some guy in a chef’s hat? Well, after finally tracking him down in Sub-Level 5, I can honestly say it was worth every terrifying moment.
Deadly Delivery isn’t just another Roblox horror game—it’s an intense survival experience that drops you into a post-apocalyptic world where food has become the most valuable resource. As a restaurant waiter, your job is to brave the underground sub-levels, scavenge for ingredients, and make it back alive to keep the restaurant running.
The December 2025 Christmas update completely changed the game’s landscape, introducing new NPCs, seasonal content, and most importantly, Gordon and the cooking system. This update transformed Deadly Delivery from a simple survival game into a more complex experience with progression systems and strategic depth.
I’ll be honest with you—I’m not usually a horror game person. The jump scares, the tension, the constant threat of death… it’s all a bit much for me. But there’s something about Deadly Delivery that keeps me coming back night after night.
Maybe it’s the satisfaction of finally reaching Sub-Level 10 after dozens of failed attempts. Or perhaps it’s the thrill of discovering a rare ingredient that could make or break my next cooking experiment. But I think what really hooks me is the progression system—knowing that each run, whether successful or not, is teaching me something new about the underground layout, entity behaviors, and efficient resource management.
Finding Gordon was a pivotal moment in my Deadly Delivery journey. Suddenly, all those common ingredients I’d been ignoring became valuable components for powerful buffs and money-making recipes. It added a whole new layer of strategy that I absolutely love.
Alright, let’s get to the meat of this guide. After spending weeks experimenting with different strategies and learning from my mistakes, I’ve perfected the art of locating Gordon. Here’s exactly how you can find him too.
Before you even think about hunting for Gordon, you need to be properly prepared. Trust me, I learned this the hard way after losing count of how many times I died in Sub-Level 5 because I wasn’t ready.
Essential Gear:
Gordon only spawns in one specific location: Sub-Level 5, the sewer area. This means you need to progress through the first four sub-levels efficiently and safely.
Pro Tips for Reaching Sub-Level 5:
Once you reach Sub-Level 5, you’ll find yourself in a complex sewer system. This is where most players get lost or give up, but I’ve mapped out the exact path to Gordon.
Step-by-Step Navigation:
Critical Navigation Tips:
When you finally find Gordon, you’ll see him tied up and looking pretty worse for wear. Here’s exactly what you need to do:
The Most Important Rule: If you die after finding Gordon but before successfully escaping, you lose everything. Gordon won’t be unlocked, and you’ll have to start the entire process over again. I learned this painful lesson after dying to a surprise entity attack just 20 feet from the elevator.
Once you successfully escape with Gordon, he’ll appear permanently in your lobby’s kitchen area. This is where the real fun begins!
When you first return to the lobby after rescuing Gordon, head to the kitchen area (usually to the left of the main lobby). Gordon will be there, ready to help you with your cooking adventures.

I’ve compiled my best tips that aren’t covered in most other guides. These are the strategies that helped me finally succeed after countless failed attempts:
While I generally recommend solo play for Gordon hunting, there are situations where team play can work:

When to Team Up:
After helping dozens of friends find Gordon, I’ve heard every question imaginable. Here are the most common ones:
A: No, Gordon only spawns in Sub-Level 5. I’ve personally checked every other sub-level multiple times, and he’s never appeared anywhere else.
A: Absolutely not! Once you successfully rescue Gordon and escape, he appears permanently in your lobby. It’s a one-time unlock.
A: This is the worst-case scenario. You lose the unlock and have to find Gordon all over again. Always prioritize escaping once you’ve found him.
A: In my opinion, yes! The cooking system adds a whole new dimension to the game. The stat buffs can be game-changers, and the money-making potential is significant.
A: No, Gordon’s unlock is personal to your account. Even if another player finds him in their game, it doesn’t affect your progress.
A: For experienced players, it usually takes 1-2 successful runs to Sub-Level 5. For beginners, it might take 5-10 attempts as you learn the layout and entity patterns.
Finding Gordon in Deadly Delivery isn’t just about unlocking a new feature—it’s about transforming your entire gameplay experience. The cooking system adds depth, strategy, and long-term progression that makes every underground expedition more meaningful and rewarding.
I remember the first time I successfully rescued Gordon and returned to the lobby to see him waiting in the kitchen. It felt like I had truly accomplished something significant in the game. Now, with the cooking system fully operational, I approach each run with a new sense of purpose, knowing that every ingredient I collect could be part of my next great recipe.
The December 2025 update has made Deadly Delivery more engaging than ever, and Gordon is at the heart of this evolution. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a newcomer to the game, taking the time to find and rescue this chef NPC will open up entirely new possibilities for your gameplay.
So grab your baseball bat, stock up on bandages, and head down to Sub-Level 5. Gordon is waiting for you, and trust me—the cooking system he unlocks is absolutely worth the terrifying journey through those dark, entity-infested sewers.
Happy hunting, and may your ingredients always be fresh and your entities always be far behind!
