The news was shared on social media and in Facepunch Studios‘ Discord server by his friends.Hunt was the designer and developer of the Tool Gun, an item that let Garry’s Mod players wield different functions in the sandbox Source engine mod with one tool.

In essence, it is a revolver with an LCD screen strapped to the top of the barrel with ribbon cable.Thematically, it combines the propensity for games to use guns to solve issues with the capability of creating anything from the component attached to it.

As PC Gamer pointed out in its own coverage, the Tool Gun was a fast-favourite with fans before Valve thought up the Portal gun.The idea came to him when he was “a fledgling modeller in [his] late teens” and since became a staple of the experience and the myriad of things that the community could create.I’m Dav0r, the original creator of the Toolgun..
