Discover the vast world of Garry's Mod gamemodes, from classic Prop Hunt to intense Battle Royales. This guide details popular modes and their unique gameplay.

This guide provides a catalog of gamemodes available for Garry's Mod, primarily focusing on those found on the Steam Workshop. The author notes that most modes have not been extensively tested due to a lack of players, and encourages community involvement for testing and suggestions. The guide also includes a tag system to help users navigate the different gamemode categories.
