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.
