Garry’s Mod: Best unknown multiplayer gamemodes

Climb to victory in this rapid-paced, teamwork-oriented game mode, wherein players use blocks they are allowed to place and manipulate to help them reach the top. Each team scrambles upwards through the challenging map, which requires players to think about creative block placement to bypass an obstacle. The simple aim is to reach the top first through teamwork, creativeness, and quick thinking about the environment.

Originally made by Ricki ‘Anima’ Hales and Marc ‘Kathar’ Hales, this beloved gamemode has been updated and ported to the latest version of Garry’s Mod, namely Fretta13, with the help of Gedo789. It is a great combination of cooperation and competition in a thrilling race to the top for all.

Assassins is a thrilling, stealth-based gamemode for multiple players inspired by Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood. The rules are simple: hunt your assigned target while avoiding being hunted by yourself. You have to be mobile, blend into crowds, and use your radar to locate your assigned target. You’ll be competing against other players who are trying to take down their targets while dodging from theirs.

You may use stealth, getting high bonuses, or just rush, raking up kills like nobody’s business—the sky is your limit. When the round concludes, whichever player has more points shall be declared as the victor.

The gamemode was created for the win of the 2016 Winter Garry’s Mod Gamemode Competition and was set for at least 3+ players (dummy bots are required if a command has been submitted in the console).

ActionMafia is the classical concept of the ‘Mafia’ party game, now coming to Garry’s Mod with an added sense of action and adventure. In this game mode, two teams are pitted against each other: the Mafia and the Innocents. The Mafia has to eliminate the Innocents in secret without revealing their identity, while it is up to the Innocents to find them out and vote them off before it is too late.

The game includes a map and supports dynamic gameplay with a recommended player count of 10 or more, though it can be played with as few as 5 players. Whether you’re plotting behind the scenes or trying to figure out who the Mafia is, trust no one, and beware the deception! The more players, the more intense the experience.

Welcome to Boiguhs, the chaotic and hilarious gamemode of restaurant management wherein you are tasked with the serving of flaming rat burgers to an endless stream of demanding customers. Your job’s simple: slap together some burgers as fast as you can, chuck them in your customers’ faces, and keep them happy. The faster you serve them, the more customers you are going to get; take too long and they will walk right out the door.

But it’s not all smooth sailing-drop something, and a rat might run off with it or start gnawing on your toes. And every 10 minutes, you’ll be treated to a swarm of rats, so you’d best have your gravgun at the ready to punt them off! Get ready for fast-paced action, constant chaos, and some seriously questionable food service!

Deception is a strategic and tense game where one person takes on the role of either Agent, VIP, or Civilian, with each having their hidden objective. It’s sort of like the blend of Hitman and Mafia into trust, manipulation, and survival.

The goal is that the VIP must survive, either by eliminating the Agents or by running out the round. The Agents, who do not know each other’s identity, have to find out who the VIP is while trying to eliminate them. Meanwhile, Civilians must protect the VIP no matter what. Agents can gain clues through actions such as pick-pocketing or examining players to determine their role. A VIP can also use a VIP ID card to recruit bodyguards, but Agents can forge fake IDs to mislead others.

The game involves a monetary system, purchaseable hints for the Agents, and a variety of gadgets and weapons, including Agent-exclusive items like C4 and radios that allow for long-range communication. In the event of too many Civilians dying, the VIP can call in Bodyguards, selected from the highest Karma players, to aid in protecting them. The game includes unique mechanics such as karma-based rewards, stamina, health regeneration, and even the ability to drown.

With random roles assigned, different types of rounds, and smart deceptions, Deception offers a thrilling ride of unpredictability where even trust can be as deadly as a bullet.

Welcome to Sacrifun, a chaotic survival game in which the only way to keep yourself alive is by having your friends die in your place. In this crazy game, one of the players plays the role of Killer, who has to kill all the Runners, while the rest of the players play as Runners, who have to survive and be the last man standing.

You cannot fight the Killer as a Runner. Instead, your only hope is to sabotage the other Runners and ensure that they will be the Killer’s next victim. Push, tackle, grab, and bodyblock your way to survival by tossing others to the Killer! The more Runners you get killed, the more Clones you will receive. Clones are your secret weapon-they’re fake players that enable you to block others without putting your life at risk.

Use your Sense ability to detect other Runners but know this: every time you reveal others, you are also revealing yourself to the Killer! If a Runner causes your death, you then respawn as a Skeleton, able to seek revenge through bodyblocking and getting them killed. In Sacrifun, every Runner is for themselves; only the most devious, backstabbing players will survive.
