Default Weapons (Half-Life 2)

Learn the default weapons in Garry's Mod, including the Crowbar and 357 Magnum. Master these tools for combat and construction in the sandbox.

Standard Issue for Every GMod Player:

These weapons are available in the 'Weapons' tab of the Spawn Menu (Q) by default:

• Crowbar: Melee weapon, good for breaking crates.
• Pistol (USP Match): Standard handgun, accurate at medium range.
• 357 Magnum: Powerful revolver, slow fire rate, high damage.
• SMG (MP7): Fast-firing submachine gun, effective at close to medium range.
• Shotgun: Devastating at close range, wide spread.
• AR2 (Pulse Rifle): Combine assault rifle, features a secondary energy ball attack.
• Crossbow: Silent, high-damage weapon, bolts can pin enemies to walls.
• RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade): Explosive launcher, can be guided.
• Grenade: Standard fragmentation grenade.
• Bugbait: Attracts and controls Antlions.
• Gravity Gun: Manipulates objects with physics. Essential for puzzles and combat in HL2, less so in GMod Sandbox but still fun.

Strategy: Familiarize yourself with each weapon's strengths and weaknesses. The Gravity Gun, while not a traditional weapon, is incredibly versatile for environmental combat.
