Hey there! So you're diving into Garry's Mod and want to know about all the cool NPCs and Nextbots you can mess around with? This guide is gonna break down some of the most popular gamemodes that feature these guys. Think of it as a quick rundown so you know what you're getting into when you jump into a server.

We'll be looking at a bunch of different modes, from hiding and seeking to trying to figure out who the bad guy is. It's all about understanding the basic idea behind each one so you can jump in and have fun right away. Don't worry if it sounds a bit confusing, we'll cover the main points for each.

Here's a quick look at what we'll cover:

• A breakdown of different gamemode types and their tags (like PVP, PVE, COOP, etc.).
• Specific popular gamemodes like Prop Hunt, Trouble in Terrorist Town (TTT), and Murder.
• What makes each mode unique and how the NPCs or Nextbots play a role.

Let's get started and figure out what makes Garry's Mod so wild!

Gamemode Tags Explained:

Before we jump into specific games, it's helpful to know what these tags mean. They're like little labels that tell you the core of the gamemode:

• PVP - Player versus Player. You'll be fighting against other players.
• PVE - Players vs. AI. You'll be fighting against computer-controlled enemies.
• TEAMS - The mode splits players into different teams.
• COMPETITION - There's a clear goal to win, like capturing a flag or surviving for a set time.
• COOP - Cooperative play, where you work together with others.
• SINGLEPLAYER - You play alone.
• ZOMBIE - The theme revolves around zombies.
• SPORTS - Games that are based on sports.
• MINIGAMES - A collection of smaller games within one mode.
• OTHER - Doesn't fit neatly into the other categories.
• TOOL - This mode is more of a foundation for other things, often used for horror maps.

Popular Gamemodes:

Now, let's look at some of the actual games you'll find:

1. Prop Hunt - This is a classic hide-and-seek game. One team is disguised as random props (like chairs or barrels) and gets a 30-second head start to hide. The other team, the hunters, then has to find and eliminate all the hidden props before time runs out. It's all about clever hiding spots and sharp eyes! [pvp other]
2. TTT (Trouble in Terrorist Town) - In TTT, you're on a team, but some of you are secretly traitors! The innocent players have to figure out who the traitors are and eliminate them, while the traitors try to kill everyone else without being discovered. It's a game of deduction and paranoia. [pvp teams]
3. Murder - This one is also about deception. One player is secretly the murderer, armed with a knife, and their goal is to kill off everyone else. The rest of the players are ordinary people who need to figure out who the murderer is and stop them before they're all picked off. It's a tense game where trust is hard to come by. [pvp teams]

This is just a taste of what's out there in Garry's Mod. Each of these modes uses NPCs or Nextbots in different ways to create unique and fun experiences. Keep an eye out for these on servers, and you'll know what to expect!
