How to Handle Gnomes

Gnomes are small, annoying, and everywhere—the cockroaches of the game world. They always spawn in groups of 3-5, relying on surprise and swarming to overwhelm you. While their damage is low, they have one mission: destroy your scrap, which makes them a massive headache for loot collectors.

The Real Problem? They Never Stop.

  • If a level has Gnomes, they respawn indefinitely after a short delay.

  • Killing them only buys you time—they keep coming back like a bad sequel.

How to Deal With Them

  • Pick them up and slam them into the ground—this instantly kills them.

  • Turn them into weapons—fling them at other enemies for extra damage.

  • Stay on the move—they rely on swarming, so don’t let them box you in.

A good Gnome is a dead Gnome, so don’t hesitate to yeet them into oblivion.
