It’s limited to 30fps on PS5 so there’s plenty of overhead before you’ll notice it struggle. But the Gnomes are still there on PS5 as it’s essentially the PS4 version running via backwards compatibility.
My PS5 save isn’t nearly old / busy as my Xbox save but it’s still doable there.
I haven’t tried them out yet, and because these are finite, I don’t want to use them just for testing. So I might as well ask here some questions, that way the answer can be found on the forum. I now have these Gnome-ticks / pods, red “Oknytt (unused)” and green “Myran” ones.
Edit: I counted the gnome-ticks that we can loot, and there are 100, if none of them self-destruct.
Try to answer your questions.
Green - standard tick pods (like the engineer with the appropriate skill perk gets from fallen machines).
Red - gnome tick pods.
It worked for me, spawning the Gnomes without shooting up Hagaboda. I did it two times, and the second time I got the last mask I still needed.
Excellent! Well done! 
Tried it again with your new method for about 2h.
I ran around and into the maxed bases at granhygget and östra mark. I even lead a tank there. I tried it with flares, fireworks and a few shots here and there.
But no sign of gnome at these two specific houses in Hagaboda. 
I stay at my opinion. No way on ps5.
I’m going to dedicate my next session to this, hopefully my curse breaks too

I was reading back in this thread looking for this here, what you wrote. I see the :rolf: so that kick was a joke, I guess. Funny that I missed that the first time I read it. I told Aesyle, a second player can get it active by shooting it. The kick I totally forgot. It was working for her too, but 2 times and she got 4 masks out of it. The next 5 times the darn things wouldn’t spawn. But I’m sure she’ll get it working again.
What I was trying to say is that once the second player has shot / picked up a gnome, the gnomes will start to work for the host too.
If the second player then leaves / crashes (or is kicked) it should continue to work for the host if they choose to carry on solo.
Sorry if I didn’t come across clearly.
Hey thanks so much for including this, it works so well , I got them to spawn 3 times 3rd I did enough carnage to activate them!
I got one mask and gave up after a while killing ticks as drops were pretty standard after that!
Anyhow on series X this is defiantly working 
Very nice, but I would loot all 100 gnome-ticks, because even the last one could be a mask.
Ahh ok ! Well I will no doubt spawn again and be more prepared
There were around 4 in the NW houses today and one near the church !
Get them while there hot
I forgot to say if this helps anyone, when fuse boxes stopped exploding, or doors didn’t open in some house, or cars wouldn’t damage, the gnomes had spawned in the locations in the map, I had to trash more in the town to get them active though !
But what do you do, if there isn’t anything more to destroy in Hagaboda?
Or are there more houses the gnomes may appear in?
I must stop searching. I’ll go crazy.
Big explosions or/and firework could also do the trick.
Put some gas-tanks near a fuel station, not to many because that might crash the game, 10 or so.
Here a map of possible spawn locations in Hagaboda which I found on Facebook, I added some more house where I found gnomes too.
I will try this on PS5 and see if it works, I know how crazy this hunt can drive you !
Good luck
I tried this today on PS5 after update dropped, I did exactly same thing I did on Xbox infact even more destruction and nothing happened, not even a spawn.
I find this really disappointing as the vast majority of this game I’ve played on PlayStation, the grind for this seems pointless if it was never a feature back then and now!
Anyhow if anyone knows different then please add to this but as of my last run in PS5 no gnome ticks !
There doesn’t appear to be any plan to boost to PS5 and I can’t see the sense in this as it would be a much smoother game in parity with Xbox , I have to wonder if this is Microsoft 🫤
Why would this be down to MS? Well, I guess it is, kind of but not in the way you expect.
GZ hasn’t had a Series X upgrade, but rather it can simply detect the Series X|S CPU so runs at a higher frame rate.
The reason the Xbox version is “gen9 aware” is down to the fact that the Xbox version was substantially re-tooled after they hit an impasse with their old framework. It’s still the old Xbox One version but running on the new CPU. No new GPU features or textures etc.
The devs hit an issue releasing the Resistance update on Xbox and it took over 7 months for them to work around it, as part of that work they had to migrate their framework from the old XDK to GDK, and it’s the newer GDK that allows them to tap into the Series X CPU for free (ish) as well as providing the framework for cross-play between Windows 10 and Xbox.
You can read more about it here;
I’m guessing a proper “next gen” version, which is what I think would be required for PS5 frame rate increase would take substantial resources and then they’d have to weigh up costs etc. alongside the return on investment.
As both a Series X & PS5 owner, I’d love a next gen patch for GZ and I really hope that the PS5 does get a 60fps mode!
