Exploding collectables
I went hunting for collectables, and up in Arkelstorp I found a little gnome. I couldn't pick it up. This is the third one I've found that I couldn't pick up. This time I wondered if I could knock it over with my pistol. When I shot the gnome it exploded like a firework, made that cute little jup noise, and I was told I'd picked it up. It appeared in my log, but the map location still told me I was 0/1 for collectables.

Has anyone else had this experience?

As far as map counters go, those can be wrong. I have several counters that either show to less (2/3) or too much (4/2) than possible.
Map counters are leftover counters from the day where loot box counters were in the game. E.g if entering command bunker, you'd see 0/66 loot and it was painstakingly hard to find the few last remaining loot boxes to get 100%. Even back then they were wrong. E.g i entered an area that showed 0 loot boxes. While i found several and open them all, i ended up with 6/0 showing on map counter. So, there's that.

Oh, that's interesting. The gnomes in question have all been reachable for the player, I just couldn't get them to react to the key press. I'll try hunting for anything I missed, and see if I need 2/1 or more. Thanks!

I'm having the same issue with the gnome at Arkelstorp too, its easily within reach but it doesn't allow it to be picked up...my brother has the same issue as well. The gnome sitting on the dock railing is at 2293, -3912

Edit - I can confirm that shooting the gnome gives you the collectible and puts the gnome into the collectible slot but doesn't update on the map location counter.

Thanks - I was jumping all over the place trying to pick up this gnome and when the gnome disappeared - I thought it had been lost in the water because the counter didn't increment.

Couldn't get Arkelstorp either until I jumped onto the rail. Once I was above it, I picked it up as normal.
