Dive into the diverse world of Garry's Mod gamemodes! From classic Prop Hunt to intense TTT, discover new ways to play and find your next favorite mode.

Alright, so you've jumped into Garry's Mod and you're probably wondering what else there is to do besides just messing around with props and ragdolls. GMod is HUGE, and a massive part of that is the sheer variety of gamemodes people have created. This guide is here to help you navigate that ocean of fun, focusing on what you can find on the Steam Workshop. Think of it as your cheat sheet to finding your next favorite way to play.

The creator of this guide mentions that they're mostly covering Workshop modes right now, and that testing with enough players is tough. So, while this is a great starting point, keep in mind it's a work in progress. If you've got ideas, see mistakes, or know of other sources for gamemodes, definitely hit up the comments to help out!

Understanding the Tags

To make sense of all these modes, the guide uses a tag system. Here's what they mean:

  • PVP - Player versus Player. You're up against other players.
  • PVE - Players vs. AI. You're fighting against computer-controlled enemies.
  • TEAMS - The mode splits players into teams.
  • COMPETITION - There's a specific goal to win, like capturing a flag or surviving for a set time.
  • COOP - Cooperative play, where you work together with others.
  • SINGLEPLAYER - Designed for just one player.
  • ZOMBIE - Yep, it's all about zombies!
  • SPORTS - Modes based on sports games.
  • MINIGAMES - A collection of smaller games within one mode.
  • OTHER - Doesn't fit neatly into the other categories.
  • TOOL - These aren't usually standalone games but are more like foundations for other types of content, often used for horror maps.

Featured Gamemodes

Here are a few examples to get you started:

  1. Prop Hunt (Hide'n'Seek) - This is a classic! One team hides as props, and the other team has to find and eliminate them within a time limit. It's pure hide-and-seek chaos. Tags: [pvp, other]

  2. TTT (Trouble in Terrorist Town) - In this mode, most players are innocents trying to survive, but a few are secret traitors whose goal is to eliminate everyone else without being discovered. It's all about deduction and paranoia. Tags: [pvp, teams]

  3. Murder - Similar to TTT in its deception, but with a twist. One player is the murderer with a knife, secretly trying to kill off the others. The rest of the players are ordinary people who need to figure out who the murderer is and stop them. Tags: [pvp, teams]

This guide is a fantastic resource for seeing just how much variety GMod offers. Keep an eye on it for more modes as the creator updates it!
