Summary

The Gnome acts similarly to the Apex Predator in that it follows you around. It’s quite persistent and a nuisance to deal with, as it attacks you if you get too close. The problem is handling this entity while another, larger threat is after you. It will deal minimal but consistent damage that puts you in a vulnerable position. They can also spawn in groups. Gnomes can pick up flammable items to throw at you. They will also actively try to destroy any valuables you’re carrying.

Behavior

By far the most common entity in the game, Gnomes always spawn in large groups (3-5) and rely on the element of surprise and swarming you.

Their damage is quite low, but they deal high damage to scrap items and they actively prioritize them, so be aware of that.

A unique behavior they have is that a level that has Gnomes in it will always respawn them after a delay, should anything unfortunate happen to the original Gnomes.

Survival Tips

  • They're pathetically weak, and you can simply pick them up and smack them against the floor to kill them, which you should do.
  • Even if a gang of them is grouping up on you, pick one up, lift to a height, and drop onto another Gnome to kill both.
  • You can also pick one up as a melee weapon to smash against his fellow Gnome folk, killing both on impact.
