Waterworld - Flood Survival Gamemode

Checking...

Build rafts using props before the flood arrives! Once the water fills the map, battle to destroy opponents' rafts while defending your own. Strategic material matching and weapon selection can turn the tide of any battle. Originally run by SGC in Garry's Mod 12 during 2009-2010, this classic gamemode is making its return!

Waterworld Features

Material-Based System

Props are organized into 4 material categories: Wooden, Metal, Plastic, and Concrete. Each material has matching weapons that are more effective against them. Strategic material selection is key!

Buoyancy Physics

Each prop has unique buoyancy properties. Rafts can become unbalanced, knocking off passengers into the deadly water below. Players in water have only seconds to reach safety!

Team-Based Gameplay

Join Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Orange, or Silver teams. All teams are "leadable" with team leaders. Or play as a Loner for individual survival. Team coordination is essential!

Credit Economy

Earn credits by dealing prop damage to enemies. Spend credits on props, prop leases, and ammunition. SGC members get 1.5x limits and 85% refunds. Premium members get 2x limits and 95% refunds!

How Waterworld Works

1

Goal

Remain above water longer than any other team. Simple as that - be the last one floating!

2

Build Your Raft

Select your team, construct your raft, make sure it floats. Spawn props from the Q Menu, use Physics Gun to position them, and weld them together. You have 5 minutes before the flood arrives!

3

Prepare for Battle

During Fill stage, purchase additional weapons and get to a stable place on your raft where you can shoot from. During Equip stage, check your weapon selection and select a target. Then the fight begins!

Battle for Survival

Sink the enemy! Destroy opponents' rafts while defending your own. Aim for props that will throw enemies off balance, or target the prop they're standing on. The last team with surviving props wins!

Multitool

Your essential building tool:

  • To weld props: Left-click the first prop, then left-click the second prop. You can cancel with a right-click.
  • To share props: Right-click the prop until it displays the sharing option you want.
  • To unweld props: Press reload (R) on a prop. It will flash red and all unwelded props will flash white.
  • To remove props: Press use (E) on a prop twice quickly. It will flash once to show which prop you selected. A second click will remove it.

Pro Tips

  • Aim for props that will throw the enemy off balance. Or aim for the prop they are standing on to make them shift around a lot and fall off themselves.
  • Some props will only float when upright. They are cheaper and more durable but risky. Make sure they don't tip too much.
  • Don't over weld. Weld heavy objects to buoyant props, not other heavy props. If you lose buoyancy on that end of the raft, it won't become unbalanced.
  • KISS: Keep it simple stupid. Make sure your raft will stay afloat regardless of what falls off. If you get too complicated, you can cause an imbalance if the wrong prop is removed first.
  • Don't spend too much on your raft. You do not get a full refund on props and lose everything if the prop is destroyed. Balance the chance of losing with the survival award.
  • Buying weapons as you have money for them will help you stay ahead, instead of waiting with a pistol until you can afford a heavy weapon.
  • Ammo costs credits, make sure you save enough to maintain your weapons at the end of build. Buy the cheapest pistol as a backup, it has free ammo.
