How to Beat the Evil Gnomes

If you plan on killing the old man, then it would be wise to close all doors and windows before doing the deed. That way, this will delay the evil gnomes from appearing indoors, giving you enough time to find weapons or set up traps. Finding weapons like knives and guns ahead of time will help prepare for the inevitable.
A quick way to get rid of evil gnomes if they are already indoors is to lure them towards the robot vacuum. Jumping on top of countertops and tables will also help you avoid them. But these tactics are short-lived since they keep respawning.
The only clear way to deal with them is to kill them with weapons or run around until they don’t spot you anymore. You just need to keep playing until extraction time to eradicate the evil gnomes in your current match.
FAQs
What’s the best weapon to use on evil gnomes?
Sharp weapons like knives and pickaxes are better at killing gnomes than guns and grenades. You could also use the taser to stun them, then hit them with your weapon repeatedly.
How many hits does it take for me to die from evil gnome attacks?
It depends on RNG. Sometimes, you might die of a single hit from the evil gnome, or it might stun you and repeatedly hit you until you pass.
What’s the easiest way to avoid evil gnome spawns?
The only way to avoid evil gnome spawns is not to kill the old man. Evil gnomes will continue to spawn even if you have killed them, making the game tougher to handle if the old man is gone.
What’s the easiest way to trap the evil gnome?
There are two useful ways to trap and kill the evil gnome early on. You could use the mousetrap lying around and toss it at them, or lure them under the vacuum if you have this spawn in your game.
