Line #13 Awesome/GarrysMod


1	VideoGame/GarrysMod is a nigh-unlimited sandbox game, so it has a lot of moments that are [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments extremely cool]].
2
3	!!The base game
4	* Prop surfing. Just place a prop (preferably a big one) under your feet, drag it with the Physgun, and fly. Noclip is more practical, but flying on a microwave is much more fun.
5	* Building a successful rocket using thrusters can be extremely fun, even if you will eventually hit the map's ceiling.
6	!!Mods
7	* The Franchise/StarWars [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=111412589 Lightsabers mod]]. It's not just a generic melee SWEP, as you can [[LaserBlade cut through practically anything]]. It's incredibly high-quality, allowing the player to cycle through various Force powers while wielding the blade. The sabers are incredibly customizable too, even allowing you to use [[Film/ThePhantomMenace Darth Maul's]] double-bladed saberstaff.
8	** Taken to the logical extreme with [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2837856621 Lightsaber/Jedi System]], which allows players to perform full-on lightsaber duels.
9	* The [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=150455514 Hoverboards mod]], made by the same creator as the Lightsaber mod, allows you to ride on a similarly customizable HoverBoard. You can turn off the thrusters midair and do various tricks.
10	* Despite Source's map size limit, someone still managed to make [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2905327911 an infinite map]] using clever rendering tricks. You can even go to space and visit Spacebuild-style planets. You can watch the creator explain how he made it [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=NPsxeRELlNY&feature=shares HERE]].
11	** The creator of the Infinite Map also made [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2773737445 Seamless Portals]]. It allows you to either spawn them in or use a [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} Portal gun]].
12	* There is a mod called [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=177717299 Xala's Movie Helper]], where it is a collection of dozens of optimizable settings to help animators in making their machinimas, including among other things, green-screening the skybox, hiding the viewmodel, changing the FOV, and making [[Main/NonPlayerCharacter NPCs]] make automatic actions, and a lot of other things.
13	* [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=124024144 Cinematic Camera]] is a mod for a more advanced camera tool that allows the player to not only help film videos with better effects, but they are able to make it look like a FoundFootage film as well, with the special effects and overlays that it has, including [[Letterbox letterboxing]], film grain, color filters, shaky cam, and even a camcorder overlay!
14	* The mod [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2588046325&searchtext= MW19 Tactical Infiltration]] is a mod for when the player respawns, they respawn in the helicopter from VideoGame/CallOfDutyModernWarfare2019, they even rappel from it!
15	** There is a separate mod that allows you to [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2896962109 respawn in the van]] from the same game, and another mod that allows you to [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2635378860 respawn in the plane]] from ''Call of Duty: Warzone'', with the entire plane-jump scene in '''full recreation'''. Unfortunately, it requires the map to have built in HDR, though. But still, these "Infil" mods make you feel like an badass hero on an important mission.
16	* There's [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1417447538 a gamemode]] that puts VideoGame/TeamFortress2 into [=GMod=]. You can switch between playing as either the mercenaries or a regular player.
17	* The [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=546392647 Media Player]] allows you and any friends to watch videos and movies in the game, even outside the designated Cinema gamemode.
18	* There are recreations of [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2276218705 gm_construct]] and [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2276218326 gm_flatgrass]] in 2D. The maps were slightly adjusted to make it work, and the former uses teleporters so that you can visit all of the areas in the map.
19	** You can also play through [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2299422819 the first world]] of VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1
20	* The ANP Units +PLUS+ series, including the [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3163372818 Rebel Units +PLUS+]] and the [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3163372818 Combine Units +PLUS+]] as of now, each have a collection of custom ''[[VideoGame/HalfLife2 Half-Life 2]]''-themed [=SNPCs=] that wouldn't be too far out of place in the setting. The Rebel Units for example, have armored and heavy rebels, and support units such as engineers and scouts (No, not the ''[[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 TF2]]'' kinds) for example, and grenadiers, flamethrower units, and communicators. There are even Rebel Scanners, rebel Combine Soldiers and rebel Metrocops, former Spetznaz soldiers that would be appropriate given [=HL2=]'s setting in Eastern Europe, and a three-NPC "Raider" faction that are their own third party. The Combine Units, however, have more kinds of soldiers such as [[VideoGame/HalfLifeAlyx Supressors]], [=HL2=] Beta [=NPC=]s such as Assassins, Cremators, Wasteland Scanners, Proto Striders, and Proto Stalkers. There are also bosses, armored units, medics, mines, Synth Soldiers, and more turrets and APCs. There's even a Invasion mode where you have to fight off waves by waves of Combine too.
21	* Don't have any friends wanting to play [=GMod=] with you? Way too worried about multiplayer? Look no further than [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2773405248 the Zeta Player nextbots]], near perfect recreations of standard players if you want to turn a singleplayer game into the full experience.
22	** The creator of Zeta Players has come out with the sequel: [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2947828836 Lambda Players]]. It has the same idea, but ''Lambda Players'' is much more optimized and customizable, due to the addition of module systems.
23	* There's several fully playable versions of the ''Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' games on the Workshop, [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=300674206 one of which]] was made mere ''days'' after the first game released!
24	!!Maps
25	* The map [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1656078410 Union City]] is set in a fictional area of New York City. It is extremely well designed, and it has a really nice artistic style, almost realistic looking actually, not to mention that you can enter into most of the buildings.
26	!!Dupes
27	* [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=609550388 The Mono Wheel]] is extremely fast and easy to use.
