Discover and join multiplayer servers in Garry's Mod. This guide covers various gamemodes, from Prop Hunt and TTT to survival and team-based challenges, helping you find your next adventure.

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 tested due to a lack of players, and encourages community feedback and contributions. The guide also explains a tag system used to categorize gamemodes.

Gamemode Tags:

  • PVP - Player versus Player
  • PVE - Players vs. AI
  • TEAMS - In the mode there is a division into teams
  • COMPETITION - In the mode, there is some kind of goal for victory (capture the flag, survive a certain time, etc.)
  • COOP - The mode implies a joint passage
  • SINGLEPLAYER - The mode is implied for a single passage
  • ZOMBIE - The mode is based on a zombie theme
  • SPORTS - The mode is based on sports games
  • MINIGAMES - Mode is a collection of minigames
  • OTHER - The mode does not fall under any of the categories
