Help & Info about Garry's Mod for Windows

  • What is Garry's Mod?

    Garry's Mod is a game that started out as a modification for Half-Life 2, but later evolved into a standalone title. It was developed by Garry Newman of Facepunch Studios. During the course of its development, its connections to Half-Life 2 grew thinner until it became essentially its own title.

  • What is the gameplay in Garry's Mod?

    The game takes place in a "sandbox" where the player is given no objectives or goals and instead left to interact with various characters and props as they see fit. The game encourages wild and reckless behaviour in the name of fun.

  • What are the default controls for Garry's Mod?

    During the game, you use W, A, S and D to move around, R to reload weapon, Q to open the Spawn Menu, V to toggle the flying mode, F to activate flashlight, left shift to sprint, and left control to crouch. Moving the mouse alters your aim, left mouse button uses weapon or tool and right mouse button serves a variety of functions depending on tool held. It is possible to customise the keyboard controls.

  • Can Garry's Mod be customised?

    Yes, the game encourages users to create new content using the source engine and share it amongst other players. All manner of content, much of it decidedly offbeat, has been designed and made available by enthusiasts.

  • What are some of the additional modes?

    Amongst the optional additions are game modes that transform Garry's Mod from an aimless sandbox experience to a game with set goals and rules. These include Military RP, a combat game; Star Wars RP, which transforms the game into an unofficial Star Wars RP; and Clockwork: Half-Life 2, which takes the game back to its origins.

  • Does Garry's Mod have a multiplayer mode?

  • What is Prop Hunt?

    Prop Hunt is one of the more popular game modes. It turns the game into a hide and seek session, with one team of players disguising themselves as props and the other team striving to find them within a set time limit.

  • How long has Garry's Mod been around?

    The game was originally developed in 2004, meaning that an entire generation of gamers has since grown up with it. During its relatively long existence, it has seen a number of revisions and enhancements on top of the user-generated content.

  • What platforms is Garry's Mod available for?

    The game was originally Windows-only, although it finally saw a Mac OS X port in 2010, six years after its initial release. A Linux version followed in 2013.
