Gnome mask confirmed after Showdown update!

General Discussion
1

Just tok me 5 years(!) before I got my first one.

Went back for the third time to the burnt down houses at Aspholmen where I just days ago did see my first gnome-tick ever. Second visit no gnome and this time in coop with friend, that just wanted to look around Aspholmen without starting the Showdown story.

Halfway down to the house my friend fired of a rocket behind me at some runner lurking near the house. I got the gnome scream that told me a gnome-tick spawned and before I’m there it runs around the house towards me and explode. Gnome mask found!

My friend on the other hand couldn’t even see the dead gnome-tick and wasn’t getting any loot.

Wow!! Terrifying and cool at the same time. Where exactly is this? Can you screenshot the location on the map, please? I have to go see this too.

I went there today and looted that gnome and hopefully it respawns after a certain amount of time, I just want the last mask (gold) to complete my collection.

Tought I had one but cant find it.

Travel to Aspholmen and the Security office safe house.
When you get out you go straight North, first there is the office building, just a some hundred meters North of that there is 3 cabins. If you continue North again about the same distance, when it start to lean down to the north you’ll se a smaller white burned-out house and to the left of a larger red burned-out one between birch trees.
On backside of the red it’s a wood sheed, look around it.

I wasn’t able to interact with it. So I shot.
Then it reacted and attacked me. But just had some little ammo for me.

Btw. At that location also is a 5c sledgehammer.
On top of the wood shed.

game programmer probably gave us just the 1 single gnome mask 1 chance only to get a single gnome mask, :pensive: that’s just mean, why tease us like that

10

should have backed up my save file on the cloud, lol lol lol

12

Same. Only a med kit.

13

I had the gnome that then turned to gnome-tick twice of of the 4 times I visited the place.
First time I only got some .50 AP rounds, third time the mask.

And I’ve been thinking if it’s the old proposed rules that apply now too?
A certain time of day and/or do certain things?

14

so enough time needs to pass to get another gnome to show up, kinda like the loot boxes resetting :blush: well at least it’s not limited to 1 only, HOWEVER, if your trying to collect all 7 gnome mask, LONG TIME, lol, :rofl: sometimes game devs can be funny like this, a single game dev intentionally did this to make it more difficult to get all, ALSO, assuming the mask are still in there, I only got a med kit

15

throw down some fast-travel radios & just revisit every hour, :crazy_face: it’s a bit of a walk to that site

16

Did you use a pistol or were there at a certain time?

17

we’re you in someone else’s map when the gnome showed up

18

i have a feeling that it’s limited to 1 gnome per map, :pensive: and you were in multiplayer map, I hope not the case though

I’ve been looking around this location also, it’s hopes of finding more of them, no luck yet

20

It came runing around the house and didn’t reach me before it exploded. like ticks do.
I had a pistol in my hand ready to use.

21

My map.

But I think there are some rules which applies for it to spawn a gnome.

Search for the old thread about Gnome ticks and spawning them in.
