Gnome mask confirmed after Showdown update!

General Discussion
35

No. No way to do that.

36

Can update with some more observations done.

It’s not just the night, hit the place at late night for success and when it’s snow or at least very frosty in the grass.

Then the machines also, got a new combo of 2 Seekers + 5 Hunters, all APO class so the smell of burnt resistance meat mixed with napalmwas thick in the air.

Also had some trios of FNIX runners with only a slight frost, almost green grass.
Don’t bother! You’ll only get disappointment as reward.

So far 4 Gnome masks, one was a duplicate so if it was 7 it will take some time to collect them.

@Saazm, Do you have to shoot it twice? And what do you use to shoot the gnome.

38

Sometimes it spawns as a tick-gnome before I’m even close and start runing around the house. Like it’s triggerd by either the APO machines getting to close or the APO Hunter shoots their gas grenade to close(?) or the seekers alarm going on. Never seen the tick-gnome attack any of the machines.
Other times I’ve been standing over it without the gnome turning, then I just put a bullet into it and it spawn. Then another to make the scream to shut up.

I think I’ve only fired 3 different weapons when I’ve been there, the Möller PP, the COM10 and the Exp.Al76. I’m sure that I had the gnome-mask both from the MöllerPP and the Exp.Al76 kills, so I don’t belive weapon choice has a impact on what you get.

39

When I was there, I had to shoot at him each time.
Before that he didn’t do anything.
The last times I was there, I had none machines at all there, or just about three seekers. Runners we’re rare, If at all, hunters have never been there.

But I must admit that I just was there about 5 times.

How many different masks are there? Same number and the collectables?

41

7 masks.

Went to the location for the first time today, and no gnome to be seen anywhere. I decided to shoot a rocket at the house (blowing up the tractor as well), and then the gnome spawned and attacked me. Shot it, and got a gnome pod.

It should be at the back of the house, behind the wood shack next to a rock. Screenshots of the place are above.

Btw.
Yesterday it was sunny ingame, there was just an apoc seeker nearby and I just got an advanced first aid kit.

Nevertheless, IF no machines are nearby (or already have been destroyed), but the gnome is there, my companion still warns me, that an enemy is nearby.
By this I know that it’s there even before I reach that place.

45

the explosion must have radiused the distance and hitting the gnome next to the wood shed, also respawn rate of that gnome is like 4 hours somthing, :confused: so if your someone that needs all 7 gnome mask, it’s will take very very long time

46

A night visit to the woodshed is the best time it seems. Got another tick pod yesterday.

47

I received a tick pod so it is there.

48

Has anyone else gotten a mask yet besides Saazm? I’ve been randomly trying at least 10 times but still no luck

49

yeap me, but only the red one until now …

I got 3 so far, another one of the 1st mechanical I posted before and a yellow one. Also some Gnome pods and regular ticket pods.

And it’s only under certain conditions you have a chance of getting a gnome mask or a gnome pod.
If you don’t meet them, there’s no point in trying.

  • It must have been at least 2 days in the game since you were last there.

  • It must be “winter”. Winter on the new island means severe frost.

  • Pretty sure it’s not just supposed to be night, but after midnight too.

  • There must be Apocalyose machines nearby.

Every time I’ve been there and those 4 criterias were not met, I have never received a mask or a gnome pod. And it’s still gambling, no guarantee but loot is better if you only meets 3 of the conditions above instead of none. And who knows, it may be more things that should match, but so far these are the 4 I’ve noted.

after shooting the gnome, 4 hours need to pass being before spawning another, kinda like the loot boxes close back up & new stuff inside

What companion setup do you have?
How does he warn you, with sound or visual poses?
