Garry's Mod is a sandbox built on the Source engine, and its servers are what make it special. Each one can run a different gamemode, so switching GMod servers really means switching games. Gamemodes and community content are downloaded from the Steam Workshop when you join.
Among the most popular, DarkRP recreates a city where you pick a job, run a business or live outside the law, with roleplay rules ranging from loose to strict. TTT (Trouble in Terrorist Town) hides traitors among innocents, Prop Hunt turns hide-and-seek into disguising yourself as objects, and Murder and Jailbreak are all about bluffing and tension. There are also Sandbox and Build servers for free-form building, cinema servers for watching videos together, and smaller modes kept alive by dedicated communities.
Start with the gamemode you're in the mood for, then check the community's language, how much content you'll need to download (some servers ask for a lot) and the rules — especially on DarkRP. Active staff and a lively Discord are usually what separate a busy server from an empty one. Don't be afraid to try a few servers running the same mode — the atmosphere varies a lot from one to the next. Content-heavy DarkRP servers can take a while to load the first time, so be patient on your first join. Looking for the best GMod servers? TOPSPAWN ranks them by player votes: vote without an account, once every two hours per server. Running a server? Listing it is free with an account, and it's published once approved.
The best GMod servers depend on the gamemode you like — DarkRP, TTT, PropHunt and MilitaryRP all have active communities. TOPSPAWN ranks GMod servers by community votes, so filter by mode and language to find yours.
Common GMod gamemodes include DarkRP (roleplay), TTT (Trouble in Terrorist Town), PropHunt (hide-and-seek), Sandbox (free creation), Murder, Cinema, Surf and MilitaryRP. Many servers add their own rules and custom addons on top.
