GMod's Biggest Secrets 

Got my name right :) good video man and thanks for the mention.

The map gm_obselisk has apparently a secret in which you can summon a "god" in the sky by doing a series of obscure rituals, such as throwing 50-100 ragdolls down the pit. If you throw more down, it will kill you if you go too high up in the map

Didn't expect to see myself in here - hi! The source of the act_dance animation is something I get emails about every so often, but I don't remember what it is myself; at the time, I had a huge stack of motion capture files from various sources, both from what I presume must have been royalty-free stock packages, and a bunch of DIY mocap made (at the time) on ipi/Kinect setups by friends. I don't know what the actual source of it is, but if the same dance clip showed up in completely unrelated productions, it must have been stock and not something made by anyone I knew. And yeah, I ended up erasing those stupid messages in the textures out of embarassment; in my defense, I was 19 and this was my first, very informal gig 😛 in fact, that was exactly 10 years ago as of this month! Time flies.

I was in the sewers of a dark rp server when I saw this figure quickly run by in the distance. I presumed it was another player and ran after them. I ran around the corner and this NPC monster teleported me to dark room and jumped scared me. Nobody on the server believed me. I eventually convinced an Admin to follow me and we found it again... even the Admin did not know it existed as the dark room was hidden well in the map.

gm_construct_13_beta has probably the most secrets out of any map I've ever seen. Like, go anywhere and there will be a secret. Sometimes secrets even interact with other secrets, creating even more secrets. It's nuts.

Richter, I feel sorry for you. You're able to kill the Alyx sniper much easier by using the SMG grenades crate after the first toxic waste area.

3:31 I didn't even know that city in the distance was supposed to be gm_construct. I see it now, pretty awesome!

10:15 From what it seems from the original Facepunch post from the creator of Evocity, when gmod updated to version 11 in Jan 2008 by updating to source 2007, the displacement around the cave opening got bugged. Before Jan 2008 the map worked perfectly fine. If you delete the displacement in hammer editor then compile the map the cave will no longer crash your game. I've tried it before.

RU-vidr TheLibrarian recently did a walkthrough of the Hotels map. He specializes in creepy, comfy, and liminal-type stuff. definitely worth a watch

Garry has 2 million dollars buried under the lake in gm_construct

5:02 every copy of gmod is personalized

Boot and Giraffe room might be script closets. It's where devs place game objects that only have scripts attached to them. It's sometimes useful to have such scripts clustered in close proximity and the script closest are fun ways of keeping such game objects organized.

honestly i didnt even realize that the town in the skybox in flatgrass was gm_construct

3:20 In Flatgrass, there actually is a way to get in there without noclip. You can spawn a chair or a vehicle in the wall right where the area is, enter it, and get out. You'll probably be in that room. It takes sometime to get it right, but you'll get used to it. I do this glitch to make creations in sandbox servers in peace.

15:42 HOLY SHIT THE GMOD MANUAL

This video was awesome, as someone who's also had hours of messing around in gmod

omg, I was mentioned in video! Stinger21, 1:22 xD (the map credit is for some work on the 3D skybox)

gmod's biggest secret is: who's garry and why he has a mod???

That jumpscare at 8:57 made me spill my tea =A= Brilliant video though bruv, love your content!

5:54 The gnome is now pissed!

8:32 that blue void is exactly like swimming off the edge of the Great Barrier Reef into the open ocean. It is way more unsettling in real life. You feel like you are going to drown just looking into it.

Oh wow, in the old gm_construct credits, conna is included! He recently got hired at facepunch just a year ago to work on S&box!

The hanging body you mentioned might be from gm_bigcity_sh, that one has some spooky secrets

This could be a great series, and I remember gm_russia having some great creepy Easter eggs like the room with the cheaple in it. I remember trying to no clip in and getting teleported to a room with a creepy face.

4:49 I am heavy weapons guy

That Jumpscare in 13Hotels made me yelp and I accidentally woke my little brother, who heard it in their dream

Your channel is currently one of the channels i enjoy watching most. The topics interest me alot, it just scratches that itch of obscure source facts I need.

9:12 this was literally the biggest mistery of my childhood, I had know clue about the breakable walls but I found the secretes after noclipping around.

Some weird knowledge I know in general is that the sv_cheats command isn't just limited to 0 or 1, it actually goes up to 2. Whatever gets changed with 2 I have no idea, but I tend to use 2 more than 1 when hosting sessions for my friends nowadays

13:19 The hoverball texture got updated with a qr code with this url ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere )

Gmod lore be like: It starts with......

10:42 why did this scare of shit out of me ? 😭

rp_evocity_v2d's cave doesn't crash if the map is run in Left 4 Dead, from what I've seen. It's likely the map was originally made for the pre-Orange Box Source engine

gm_13hotels always scared the shit out of me. Thankfully I never found the jumpscare on my own, but the rat man's noises combined with the overall atmosphere always made me too scared to play that map on my own. Also, I remember finding something that Richter didn't mention: I was messing a round with an the aimbot gun addon, and it locked onto a Gman NPC hidden somewhere in the map. When I tried to noclip to it, I got teleported away, like when you try to access the secret room in Big City. Maybe it's part of another, more obscure easter egg? Or maybe I'm just misremembering (though I'm pretty certain this did happen to me a couple of times.) Either way, that map still creeps me out so I don't feel like investigating further on my own lol

i’d totally watch a part 2. been playing gmod for 15 years but never knew about most of these

8:10 Local streamer teleports into a doomsday bunker using train magic, and murders his clones in cold blood

8:53 shit i jumped

4:56 dude i remember something similar, 'cept i never saw any body. just a teleport to a replica with a screamer sound

I would absolutely LOVE a part 2 or this being a series with community map secrets

“It’s a creepy, dingy room, with a radio and a-“ *RU-vid Premium ad plays*

haha the evocity cave, havn't thought about that for a very long time

yeah you ate with this video, what a banger you've been really coming through with these last few uploads, keep it up bro :)

The rooms in the counter strike maps go way back, to CS/CZ days. Admins used to TP teamkillers and rude players into those rooms for a round or two as punishment. They sometimes had creator credits in there too, depending on the map.

There's this new map that is just basically another edit of gm_construct. It's called gm_fullstruct I think. I've seen some people say that if you stay in the dark room for long enough, you'll start to hear screams that will follow you anywhere. I personally don't believe it because I stayed in that room for maybe an hour and nothing happened. I even brought the doll from the secret room there. But maybe I'm just a victim of a copypasta or something.

Hey Richter Overtime. Thought I’d ask or propose a small idea, for a video series would you maybe do a background check into TF2 freaks? Such as what they are, when they were made, so on and so on.

It's a mod and not a map, but I remember that for one of the most used atm plugin/mods, typing in a certain code on the atm would make it rocket up into the sky. Alternatively, pressing "8" eight times would make it verbally say eight, and Flash a big number 8 up on your screen

Amazing video! Been playing GMod for years and have sunk thousands of hours into it, cant wait for the next one!

I love this type of videos, secrets in community maps are so much fun to watch

I remember meeting some of these people, and seeing this community shape over years. Happy to see it's starting to get a second breath.

richter sounded really happy making this video, half the time i could hear the smile on his face!

i have a theory that the flattywood sign is a direct reference to Serious Sam The Second encounter. As the second level there features a nearly identical sign "Crollywood" which is positioned on a nearly identical set of mountains. I think the HD remasters of Serious Sam came out somewhere around the release of Gmod 13.

RIP Dav0r.

I actually found most of these secrets on my own as a kid (I have about 2000 hours on gmod over the years) and I remember on big city on one of the main buildings there was a door that tps you up to the top floor of the building where there was a secret locked door with a passcode. I somehow managed to crack the passcode (which must have taken ages) which then opened up to a cctv room. There is also a. Other secret room near spawn.

9:04 damnit that actually fucking got me

im absolutely loving this new video format!

A part 2 would be amazing

In other versions of Freespace pressing on the chimney plays "Stop it Freeman!" and "Nope"

when I played gm_bigcity, like, a long time ago, I found that garage door and when I interacted with it and heard the laugh I imagined a pitch black heavy behind the door for some reason so that scared me lol

2:08 that EE brought back so many memories lol

Can't go one gmod video without making the gmod manual joke

You missed a gm_hotels easter egg, when you're on the railed platform the rat man is under, you can look up to see a vent. If you climb into it you get teleported to a combine station of some sort, and in there is another teleporter that will bring you to a room inside a void, which contains a painting of someone's cat.

Atomic has an amazing memory where an apocalypse server me and a random dude, at the time, just started running together and ever since then we have been friends it’s been about 7 plus years since we met and we still talk on and off to this day, gmod was a game where you can find friends and foes alike and I’m glad I made a life long friend from that server if you’re reading this Matt man I love you brother

I love seeing the secrets of these old Gmod Maps. Love to see more.

There's more than meets the eye when it comes to Flatgrass, which was known as Flattywood before the areas deforestation was ordered by the US Department of Defense. Go goes that herbicides and eventually napalm were used to wipe the regions flora while billions of taxpayer dollars were invested in the construction of an expansive underground bunker and the excavatory leveling of the above ground. What remains is a mysterious and uncharacteristically flat restricted area deep within the American Great Plains, rumored to be testing grounds for classified experimental government technology. Though this backstory is subtlety hinted at through details like the Flattywood sign and the doll safe room that eludes to the inaccessible bunker below the map, it's highly unlikely that any of this plot would have ever been figured out or brought to light if not for the recent discovery of the Garry's Mod 13 Game Manual and Promotional CD, which was up until recently considered lost media.

“Or Maybe? I’m just crazy” 5:13 R.I.P. Cee Lo Green 🎤🪦

In your intro the character states "Good evening." despite it obviously being daytime in the respective scene. Please ensure this is rectified for future installments of the 'Biggest Secrets' franchise.

I'd love to see a video about NeoTokyo (an HL2 mod), mainly its maps. They can be played in GMod and I'd love to see an analysis/overview of them from you.

I loved Evocity thanks to the machinimas that used the map. I didn't know about the crash cave until a couple months ago when I was revisiting the map.

10:09 I'm reasonably sure that this is a reference to SCP-2935, which is a limestone cave that kills every living thing in the universe (it's a bit more complicated than that but that's all that matters here). They look the same to me anyway. EDIT: Wait nevermind the cave in Evocity predates the SCP by several years, perhaps the reverse is true.

11:12 it is not a "british thing". I've never heard that in my life. It's probably an in joke with Gary

as of june earlier this year i have been playing gmod for over 10 years and man it makes me feel old. but thanks for making content for a game that extends early in my youth,

10:42 I understood that reference Actual face from the show

I never knew GMod had a physical release of any kind, I'm hyped for that video.

okay so i had never heard of this map till today and 8:57 honestly made my soul leave my body for a second

I love how the stalker scream went from one of the most feared sound effects in video game history to one of the most popular meme SFX ever.

nice vids man keep it up! cant believe gmod has that many secrets!

You ever heard of Gm_Rudmerge? its a map full of secrets and not easy ones to get to. You should try the map out its a really fun map. when i first played i thought it was just some cool city map but then i found some "stuff" that made realize that this is not some normal city map

Pronounces bow as bow and not bow, true huntsman sniper right there

i definitely remember seeing a body like that in a big city video, but i think it was on a "haunted" version of the map

I would watch so many videos of richter just talking about gmod secrets ngl

5:45 you can bypass it by typing this console command "ent_fire trigger_teleport disable"

Mad respect for that F.E.A.R. hud in Gmod 12

Yes part 2 pls Also, nice model of your YT character! I wonder if he made it himself of was made by a fan or someone else

I'm a big fan on secrets like these and I'm glad you put a comprehensive list together. I still have no idea what one does for 8000 hours in gmod

11:43 Where can I find this video? For research purposes.

11:28 How about Portal 2 Taunts ?

Now I know names of my favorites maps i see in many gmod videos! Thx :)

Actually got jumped by the jumpscare in the abandoned hotel... Well played.

I've seen a Gmod Secrets video that briefly showed a clip of a stage that looked like Flatwood with not alot around it but a grey structure and when hitting the Use key on a specific part a pathway opens up and parts of the structure shapeshifts to allow access to a long underground area, the video showed off that door opening sequence but gave zero info on the maps name or anything I could use to identify it. If you have any clue what map im talking about, please consider that for part 2 if you feel inclined to make it ^_^

9:32 literally 1984

I remember when me and my friends would spend days at a time building maps in flatgrass, wed make so many easter eggs in there, and after we found wire mod recently we went and remade a favorite map of ours with wire mod and made more elaborate secrets. I miss doing that after school

5:00 I ABSOULTY REMEMBER THIS. When i came back to gmod after a while I went to try this again and i was very confused because i couldn't get it to work and figured i was just mis-remembering it. glad im not crazy (or at least not crazy alone).

Here's an Easter egg in one of Richter's videos. In the source mod videos if you have a brain, you can figure out that he never actually played HDtF. (the 2018 version and the OWF version) also Richter is just another one of M3SA's alter egos which also includes Berkan, Bolloxed, and all of the original HDtf actors.

4:33 that scream sounds more like a chicken, but I never played half-life so i don't know

2:39 the last one on the list Cyborgmatt, is a figure in the Dota2 scene. Didn't expect to see his name.

10:42 you said there was no more outwardly creepy stuff that scared the shit out of me

3:05 I once put a nextbot of SCP-096 in that room and triggered him He got out

Fun fact, there are two cities in the skybox of flatgrass. The second one is behind the flattywood hill, if I remember.

If I remember correctly, from the gmod 12 secret credits room, Jetboom either made or heavily worked on Zombie Survival. I don't recognize any other names though.

Its been a while since i watched gmod videos, but im glad im back to watching gmod! Been watching this guy for years!
