To get a gun in Burglin' Gnomes, search the drawers inside the house, especially the bathroom drawer. The gun often appears in a drawer, and once you find it, you can take it before the old man does. If he already has the gun, stun or tase him first, then steal it from him if the situation allows.

How To Get A Gun In Burglin' Gnomes

To get a gun in Burglin' Gnomes, search the house drawers as soon as the round starts. The gun is usually found inside a drawer, with the bathroom drawer being one of the most common places players report finding it.

The problem is that the old man can get the gun quickly too. If he reaches it first, the round gets much harder because he can start killing gnomes before you have time to finish tasks, grab loot, or do anything except experience fear at ankle height.

The best answer is to search early. If the gun is in the bathroom drawer, take it before he does. If he already has it, you need to stun him, tase him, or otherwise create an opening before trying to steal it.

Gun Location In Burglin' Gnomes

The gun can be found in a drawer somewhere inside the house. It is not always sitting out in the open, so you need to check interactable drawers instead of only scanning floors, tables, or shelves.

Place To Check	Why
Bathroom drawer	One of the most commonly reported gun locations.
Other house drawers	The gun can appear in a drawer elsewhere in the house.
Rooms near the old man's route	He may reach the gun quickly if it spawns nearby.

If you are trying to beat the old man to the gun, do not wander aimlessly. Go straight to likely drawer locations, check them fast, and call out the gun location if you are playing co-op.

Check The Bathroom Drawer First

The bathroom drawer is the best first place to check for the gun. Players often report finding the gun there, and the bathroom is usually a clear enough target that you can rush it early instead of searching the entire house.

Open the drawer, grab the gun if it is there, and leave before the old man traps you in the bathroom. Bathrooms are already dangerous in Burglin' Gnomes because they tend to be small rooms with bad escape paths. Adding a firearm to the situation does not make that less stupid.

Fast Gun Route	What To Do
1	Enter the house and head for the bathroom.
2	Open the bathroom drawer.
3	Take the gun if it spawned there.
4	Leave quickly or regroup with teammates.

If the bathroom drawer is empty, start checking other drawers. The gun may still be inside the house, just not in the bathroom that round.

What To Do If The Old Man Gets The Gun

If the old man gets the gun first, do not run straight at him like a heroic lawn ornament. Stun him first if you can, then steal the gun while he is disabled.

A taser is one of the best answers if you have access to it. Tase him, grab the gun, and either use it against him or get it away from him so your team can breathe again.

Situation	Best Response
Old man has not found the gun yet	Rush drawers and take it first.
Old man has the gun	Use a taser or stun tool before trying to steal it.
You have no stun item	Hide, split up, and search for another strong item.
You are in co-op	Have one player distract while another searches or grabs tools.

The gun changes the whole pace of the match. Once he has it, the priority becomes survival and control, not casually finishing side tasks like nothing changed.

Gun Or Grenade?

The gun is strong, but it is not the only dangerous item in Burglin' Gnomes. If you cannot get the gun quickly, going for a grenade or explosive can be a better plan than trying to wrestle the old man while he is armed.

A grenade can create a fast answer if the gun route goes badly, especially in co-op where one player can search for explosives while another tracks the old man's movement.

If you need help with that objective, the Burglin' Gnomes explosion guide explains how to find and use explosive items without turning your gnome into a cautionary smear.

Gun Tips

The best gun tip in Burglin' Gnomes is to search for it early. Once the old man gets the gun, everything becomes harder, so the first few minutes matter.

Tip	Why It Helps
Check the bathroom drawer first	It is one of the most common gun locations.
Search drawers, not just open surfaces	The gun is usually hidden inside a drawer.
Call out the gun in co-op	Your team needs to know who has it and where it is.
Tase the old man if he has it	Stunning him can create a chance to steal it.
Do not fight him directly while armed	That usually ends badly and quickly.
Use explosives as a backup plan	The grenade route can be better if the gun is already lost.

In co-op, one player should rush likely gun spots while another watches the old man's movement. If everyone searches random rooms, he may grab it first, and then the house stops being a burglary and becomes a very small war crime.

Final Blurb

To get a gun in Burglin' Gnomes, search drawers inside the house, especially the bathroom drawer. Grab it early before the old man reaches it.

If the old man already has the gun, stun or tase him before trying to steal it. Do not charge him directly unless your plan is to become a lesson for the next gnome.
