Best GMOD Maps Mods
The Foundation of Every GMOD Experience
In Garry’s Mod, a “Map” is the environment, level, or world where all the action takes place. It’s the foundation upon which every construction, every chase, and every story is built. Subscribing to new maps is the best way to completely change your gameplay experience, offering new challenges and fresh sandboxes for your creativity. The Garrysmod community has created thousands of maps in every possible genre.
Popular Map Genres
- Sandbox Maps: Large, open maps with plenty of space and props, designed specifically for building and experimenting without limits.
- Horror Maps: Dark, atmospheric, and often maze-like levels built to create a sense of dread. Perfect for Nextbot chases and scary scenarios.
- Roleplay (RP) Maps: Detailed and complex maps, usually depicting cities or specific locations (like a police station or a hospital), designed for immersive roleplaying sessions.
- Campaign Maps: Objective-based, linear maps that guide you through a custom story or mission, similar to a traditional singleplayer game.
How to Play on a Custom Map
Once you’ve subscribed to a map from the Steam Workshop, starting a game on it is simple:
- From the Garry’s Mod main menu, click on “Start New Game”.
- On the right side of the screen, you will see a list of all your installed maps. Find the one you just downloaded and click on it.
- You can configure multiplayer options on the left, or just leave it on Singleplayer.
- Click the “Start Game” button at the bottom right, and the map will begin to load.
