New mountable games

With community effort and permission from the respective game developers, 2 new games are now available to be mounted in Garry's Mod: Black Mesa and Military Conflict: Vietnam!

As with other mountable games, you will need to own them on Steam first, which will enable players to use maps and models from these games in Sandbox and other gamemodes.

HUD Improvements

Some default HUD elements received some polish - the weapon selector, damage indicators, health and ammo displays.

The ammo HUD now correctly displays ammo for certain modded weapon types that use secondary clips, the default weapon selector can now display more slots and scroll weapon selection when there are too many weapons equipped to fit on the screen.

The HUD now also scales better at 4K resolution, preventing certain elements such as Sandbox notifications and voice chat from overlapping the ammo HUD.

New content & content fixes

The Combine APC is now a built-in vehicle, right in the spawnmenu, fully driveable by the player.

There are also numerous bug fixes to existing models for various issues such as props becoming pitch black when resting on ground, fire effects not displaying correctly and spawning wrong gib models when broken.

Network protocol changes

This update brings significant under-the-hood changes to the game's networking, enabling faster network transfer speeds to reduce server join times, and removing a whole host of unnecessary networking done by various entities, hopefully reducing overall bandwidth usage, especially on initial player spawn.

This update also switches many game systems to use double precision time, which should help servers to not need to restart or change maps as often and improve overall game feel after playing for a while on the same map.

Smaller stuff

As usual this update also brings a huge amount of fixes and other smaller changes. Some optimizations to performance and memory usage as well.

You can find the full change list for this update in our blog post:

Update: "Low quality, obvious AI-created slop is going to be a growing problem in every creative outlet," Facepunch founder Garry Newman said in response on RPS' reachout about S&box being plagued by such things out of the gate. "We don't encourage using AI to be creative. We don't encourage using AI to create games for you. But we do acknowledge that it's a good learning tool and it's a good productivity tool. We'll be taking action to promote human creativity and push obviously AI-created slop off the main page."

Original story follows:

S&box, the open source game development platform/game about vaguely minion-looking cartoon blokes messing about with objects that's serving as spiritual successor to Garry's Mod, has released today, April 28th. Sadly, it seems to be heavy on AI-filled user-created games early doors, with developers Facepunch having already admitted they'll "have to deal with people using AI in obvious, low quality ways".

Thankfully, in the meantime the original's still very much kicking, with an update arriving on April 29th set to see fan-made Half-Life remake Black Mesa grafted onto it.

Sandbox fun times simulator Garry's Mod has gobbled up pretty much every official Valve Source game into its toybox at this point, but there is land yet to conquer. Facepunch announced this week that the 20-year-old game's next patch, planned for April 29, will finally bring Black Mesa into the fold...

Hello everyone,

The next Garry's Mod update is coming soon.

The current plan is to release the next Garry's Mod update on 29th of April at 3PM GMT.

This update will require existing servers to update before they can be joined, so servers owners are advised to take notice of the date and test their servers on the pre-release beta beforehand to ensure smoothest update experience.

This update will contain many under the hood changes that may break existing binary modules.

You can preview the list of upcoming changes here:

https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/Update_Preview_Changelog

(Please note this list is still work in progress and is subject to change.)

Garry's Mod x Black Mesa

By popular demand and with approval from its developers, this update will be adding mounting support for Black Mesa in Garry's Mod.



We've partnered with Crowbar Collective to offer both our fans this limited time bundle to buy both games at one discounted price:

Please help us test the update

We kindly ask anyone willing to help us, players, modders and server owners alike, to test this update before it releases, to minimize any potential problems on release day.

Just run your game or your (development/test) server on one of the beta versions briefly to see if any new issues crop up compared to the non-beta version of the game.

The Pre-Release Steam beta branch for Garry's Mod has been updated and contains all the changes that will be included in the next update. The "dev" and "x86-64" betas also contain all the upcoming changes.

It's been 20 years since Garry's Mod launched on Steam, and it's hard to think of a bigger success. The physics sandbox is the top-selling PC exclusive on Steam, is still one of the platforms most-played games daily, and even holds a Guinness World Record—it's the "Most Liked Indie Videogame on Steam."..

I'm always taken by surprise when Garry's Mod receives a new update. Since it came out when I was still a teenager, I just assume it's ancient history. Yet in reality, Facepunch's anarchic toolbox remains very much a going concern. With over 22,000 players in the last 24 hours, Garry's Mod is the 62nd most popular game on Steam by daily active users (according to SteamDB). That makes it more popular than Monster Hunter Wilds and Elden Ring Nightreign—at least as far as Steam is concerned...

New water visuals

This update adds new water rendering features from newer Source Engine games to Garry's Mod. Here's a comparison:

This includes flow maps, lightmaps and ability to reflect 3D skybox. This both improves compatibility with mountable games, as well as enables map makers to use these new features in their maps.

It must be noted that these changes may unexpectedly affect a small amount of existing maps. The issue here is that some map makers are using (modified) water materials from other Source Engine  games which have parameters that did not previously work, but do work correctly now, causing unexpected changes in water appearance. This is unfortunately unavoidable from our end, and will need to be individually fixed by map makers by editing their water materials. No map recompilation needed.

4-way blends

Another port from newer Source Engine games is the 4-way blend shader.

This is also going to help map makers make better looking maps, easier.

Built-in NPC improvements

A long standing issue from the very inception of Garry's Mod was the lackluster support for weapons used by NPCs, especially when NPCs use weapons that they never used in Half-Life 2. This update finally addresses these issues.

NPCs no longer T-pose when trying to use non default weapons, such as Metrocops using RPGs or AR2s, Combine Soldiers can not only use all the built-in weapons without issue, but also run around and chase the player with no weapons. Citizens no longer stand up to shoot when crouched.

More NPCs can now use weapons as well, providing more options than ever.

With improvements to duplicator support for Half-Life 2 entities, Resistance-hacked Combine Mines are now available from the spawnmenu, and both it and the Flechette Gun are now available for all players, regardless of what games are mounted.

Sandbox improvements

Faceposer got some minor improvements with the ability to randomize or clear only a specific category of sliders:

And an option for Spawn Menu and Context Menu keys to act as a toggle has been added to the Utilities panel:

Other stuff

As per usual, this update also brings a set of under the hood fixes and optimizations, and of course a number of new Lua API features have been added.

You can find the full change list for this update in our blog post:

Hello everyone,

The next Garry's Mod update is coming soon.

The current plan is to release the next Garry's Mod update on 12th of November at 3PM GMT.

This update will be backwards compatible with existing servers, so servers will not need immediate updating and players can still join old servers, but it is still highly recommended to update as soon as the update releases to get all the new features and fixes.

Skibidi. Dop, dop, dop. Yes, yes. Skibidi. Double u. Neem, neem. This is the clarion call of the modern age, the infernal message brought unto our virgin ears by the Skibidi Toilets. No, wait, keep reading! It'll be worth it. Probably. After all, the word skibidi has now been added to the Cambridge Dictionary, and this is a reality we've all got to reckon with.

Skibidi Toilet, in case you've been living somewhere free from the influence of vertically-framed surrealism, is a long-running series of 3D animations by YouTuber Alexey 'DaFuq!?Boom!' Gerasimov. It generally conveys the tale of a great war between a legion of heads protruding from loos and an army of folks with cameras for heads, with help from Half-Life 2 assets and inspiration from the annals of Garry's Mod machinima. Any 12 year olds you know probably can't get enough of it. Or think it's lame because they've already moved on to the next thing.

Valve have given special permission to Garry's Mod from Facepunch to include a whole bunch of extra content for the popular physics sandbox.

So long, pink checkerboards that represent missing textures! Adiós, pitch-black skies that signify an absent skybox! Don't let the door hit you on the way out, enormous 3D model that says ERROR where a car should be!..

The July 2025 Update is now live.

Update Highlights

The biggest user-facing change in this update brings most of Counter-Strike: Source and Half-Life 2 Episodic content to Garry's Mod by default, with gracious permission from Valve. This means that you no longer need to own those games and have them installed to play on community maps that expect you to have this content.

Please do note that maps from those games are not included, so you'll still need to install those games to use their maps, and neither are voice over files and music, due to licensing issues.

This won't eliminate all instances of missing content (missing textures and ERROR models), but it will address a majority of instances of this issue. The remainder would just be addon authoring or installation errors.

This also means that Half-Life 2: Episode 2 content is now available in the spawnmenu for every player by default.

As usual, there is a large number of smaller changes - crash fixes, optimizations, additions, as well as other miscellaneous improvements for modders as well as players.
