Red Gnome Hat

The Red Gnome Hat is a Common hat for Bongo Cat. The tall, pointed red cap gives the cat a classic garden-gnome look, a charming and easy-to-find cosmetic for the early collection.

How to obtain

• Drops from chests, which arrive roughly every 30 minutes after 1,000 bongo beats.
• At a 90% chest drop rate, it is one of the most common hats in the game.
• Tradeable on the Steam Community Market, where it is typically very cheap.
• Extra copies are ideal fodder for the 10:1 exchange chain.

Gameplay notes

• Equip it from the inventory; the cat keeps bongoing exactly as before.
• Cosmetic only, with no effect on chest timers or beat counts.
• Still available from chests, so new players usually find one quickly.
