How to spawn players without weapons in GMod

Type sbox_weapons 0 in the server console so players no longer spawn with the Half-Life 2 weapons on a Sandbox server.

Toggles whether players spawn with the default Half-Life 2 weapons on a Sandbox server.

1Default On

Arguments

1 gives the HL2 weapon set on spawn, 0 does not.

What it does

When on, every player receives the standard Half-Life 2 weapons each time they spawn. Set it to 0 for building servers where you do not want guns handed out. Weapons can still be spawned from the spawn menu unless you restrict that separately.

The game's own description: If enabled, each player will receive default Half-Life 2 weapons on each spawn

Good to know

  • Takes effect the next time each player spawns.

Run it on your server

On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to garrysmod/cfg/server.cfg. New to this? Start a GMod server first.
