Discover and understand the diverse world of Garry's Mod game modes with this comprehensive guide. Find your next favorite way to play!

Hey there! So you're diving into Garry's Mod and want to know what's out there? Awesome! This section is all about helping you navigate the wild and wonderful world of game modes that people have created. Think of it as your friendly map to all the fun you can have beyond just messing around with props.

We've got a bunch of different types of game modes listed here, and to make things easier, we've broken them down with some handy tags. You'll see tags like PVP (Player vs. Player), PVE (Player vs. Environment/AI), TEAM modes, COMPETITION, COOP, SINGLEPLAYER, ZOMBIE, SPORTS, MINIGAMES, TOOL (which are more like bases for other addons), and OTHER for anything that doesn't quite fit. It's a great way to quickly see if a mode is your kind of jam.

Let's look at a couple of examples to get you started:

• Prop Hunt: This is a classic! It's basically Hide-and-Seek, but one team is disguised as random props, and the other team has to find them. It's a blast and totally PVP.
• TTT (Trouble in Terrorist Town): This is a super popular social deduction game. You're all on a team, but some of you are secretly traitors trying to eliminate everyone else. You have to figure out who's who before it's too late. It's a tense PVP mode with teams.
• Murder: Similar to TTT in that there's a hidden killer, but it's a bit more straightforward. One person is the murderer with a knife, and everyone else is just trying to survive and figure out who it is. Definitely a PVP experience with a focus on deception.

This guide is constantly being updated with new modes from the Steam Workshop, so you'll always have fresh content to explore. Don't be shy about checking out the workshop pages linked – that's where you'll find all the details and can even download them to try out.
