Thanks. I’ll try shooting the ones I can see but can’t get to and see what happens.
I’ve never managed to get a radio inside a half open door. I just feel that when I can’t find an active gnome it is just sitting in one of these inaccessible places.
Has anyone ever found a gnome in somewhere other than a residential house?
No. But they can essentially spawn anywhere a normal tick can spawn so it’s possible, in theory.
I quote myself, maybe it helps you.
In my game the orange and yellow houses always have gnomes that I can’t get to. The houses in the blue circle always have gnomes that are always inactive. My only successes have been in the houses between the yellow and blue circles and the ones near the West gate, but only the ones I can get into.
Do you have the tactical equipment pack?
You can use the tactical shield at the back entrance of the green marked house to reach the roof. Then you can enter the house through the balcony and get to the gnome.
Damn I’ve been trying for Days now to get active gnomes but even when inviting others to help nothing worked. They were invisible too me when triggered but could hurt me.
When see a corpse of a killed one in multyplayer
it crashes my game almost instantly.
Just incredibly frustrating…
Playing on X1. The old one.
I found an active one in the single house at Kungsgarden in the Forest. It gave me the last mask I needed.
…and just now in Kalleby.
I think that if the conditions are right in your game then they will be almost everywhere, mostly inactive and, for me, mostly unreachable.
While roaming in areas I haven’t been for ages looking for gnomes and trying to establish how far they have spread, it dawned on me just how easy it must be for new players in the early stages of the game. Ammo and first aid kits at almost every turn.
I seem to recall the anxiety of being low on both all the time.
Despite my recent negativity on this forum concerning repeated errors , bugs and non-fixes in this game there has been an upside for me.
I have been playing solo for over two years and was aware of gnomes but despite destroying Hagaboda many times I was never able to produce gnomes.
However, after CPs were introduced and allowing most of them to level up I have had perma-gnomes. Even though playing solo I am restricted to 11 houses I can get into I have managed to get all my masks and a few hundred tick and gnome pods. There are also 5 houses I can get into the kitchen where there are often Semla available. Over time I have over 200 collected.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
But beware, sometimes the silver turns to lead…
Last time I tried a few days ago I got activated gnomes in Hagaboda nearly without destroying things. I started at the church and got greeted with flickering backpacks in the adjacent grey house just to find plenty of gnomes down in the city, some of them active right away.
But…
After about half of the possible ticks it bugged out and I couldn’t destroy the ticks anymore, they vanished but the sound kept playing and they inflicted massive damage on me very fast an I died twice until I realised that the session was really over…
Didn’t try it again since even though I’m still missing the gold/silver mask…
As i said above I have permanent gnomes in Hagaboda. They only ever disappear after I have fully looted an active gnome. They are always back again the next day.
Since control points they are there without having to destroy anything.
I also occasionally get one that won’t die so I just go somewhere else or fast travel out and come back. I have one house on the Northern edge of Hagaboda where the gnome only produces invisible ticks, all the sounds but no visuals. Variety is the spice of life, so they say.
Keep at it and eventually the last mask will turn up.
Ok. Who had “gnomes on Himfjäll” on their Recon Update bingo card?
I went over there specifically to get away from the glitches found in the mainland only to spawn at Tärnboda skans with no HUD, then unable to loot anything, before stumbling into this little fellow shortly after.
They’re spreading, almost like a virus. Rendering locations unplayable as they go. Kinda creepy, actually. The Gnome Plague.
Or fnix is just out of control.
God damn right he is.
Why else would he start erecting random walls all over the map 
Gnomes I can’t tell because I didn’t search for them but I encountered the “usual” Tick-spawning-battle somewhere south of Björntunet Hotel and the obligatory crash afterwards…
So yeah, Himfjäll seems to be also infested…
Sounds like advertising with bugs (unwanted surprise) 
Or are them indeed a feature?
