BioTrauma Ragdoll Physics for Garry's Mod
BioTrauma Ragdoll Physics is a Garry's Mod addon, workshop 3788227329, by TheMightyDinky. It is a bundle, not a dependency chain you install in order.
What the workshop page listed
Published 23 Aug 2026 and updated 24 Aug 2026. File size 4.990 MB. On 2 Nov 2026 the page showed 5,818 current subscribers, 1,892 favorites, 16,992 unique visitors, and 333 ratings. The tags include effects, fun, and realism, with a mature violence rating.
The author says the bundle contains Artagdoll Legacy (areanims only), Kinetic Ragdoll Physics, Krasnov's Realistic Ragdoll Physics, and Coffee Man's Better L4D2 Ragdoll Physics, and that they had permission. Behavior called out on the page: twitch, a fatal headshot, fatal explosives and crossbows, shotgun or revolver kills in one or two shots, a random hit count for other guns, and burning ragdolls that turn black. Health, chance, and threshold sit in the Q menu.
Conflicts, including a comment split
The author says gore addons are fully incompatible, that stacking more ragdoll addons may misbehave because this is already a combination, that crashes are rare, and that a dead addon is usually a subscription list of 700 or more. They recommend the x64 branch. There is no external dependency order to follow.
October 2026 comments disagree with each other. On 25 Oct one post said it still works and another said it no longer works. On 23 Oct a player said bodies just fall. On 22 Oct a longer note described limbs freaking out, sticking in the floor, and a floaty feel, while also liking the reaction after you shoot a corpse. I am not picking a winner.
- Subscribe. Subscribe to 3788227329 and launch the x64 branch of Garry's Mod.
- Remove gore addons. The author says they do not coexist with this bundle.
- Bisect a huge list. If bodies only flop, disable other addons in halves. That is the author's only troubleshooting note.
- Tune in the Q menu. Health, hit chance, and thresholds are there. I have no published best number, so I will not invent one.

The rows distinguish a source’s own listing from independent corroboration. Different pages or API endpoints on the same platform remain one source; dynamic counts are dated snapshots rather than live totals.
