Bad Physics Guides & Walkthroughs
From first Bolts to Nuke call-ins — every Bad Physics tutorial in one place.
Welcome to the Bad Physics guides hub. This Roblox ragdoll physics sandbox by Bad Physics Studios (released October 29, 2026) is built around smashing, launching, and blasting dummies with real physics across eight maps. Use this page as your map of every how-to on the wiki: first-session setup, Gunsmith attachments, Sandbox prop chaos, map landmarks, vehicles, events, Bolts progression, and friend-face dummy clips.
If you are brand new, start with Getting Started. It covers joining Bad Physics Studios for the free Bankshot plus 500 Bolts, reading the main UI, picking a map, trying weapons, and claiming daily and playtime rewards. After that, branch into the specialist guides below whenever you need depth.
Core beginner path
- Claim the group reward and learn the HUD in Getting Started (detail steps also on Group Rewards).
- Open the arsenal and tune a favorite gun in Gunsmith Guide.
- Explore map toys — cannons, catapults, wrecking balls, traps — in the Maps Guide.
- Switch into creative mode with the Sandbox Mode walkthrough.
- Add cars, the tank, the crane, and call-in events via Vehicles & Events.
- Stabilize Bolts and the climb to level 100 with the Progression Guide.
- Film private-server bits with Friend Dummies.
Cross-check binds anytime on Controls, and keep an eye on Codes plus the Updates Hub when patches land.

Getting Started
Your first-session checklist for Bad Physics. Covers the free Bankshot and Bolts from joining Bad Physics Studios, UI overview (weapons, shop, sandbox), map picking, early weapon tests, daily rewards, playtime rewards, quests, and leveling toward 100. Best paired with the intro video on that page. Read Getting Started.
Gunsmith Guide
Deep dive into attachments: scopes, lasers, grips, and bigger magazines across the 68-weapon roster (guns, melee, explosives, weather tools, and silly toys). Includes loadout tips for close ragdoll chaos versus longer sightlines, and pointers to the Weapons Tier List when you want ranking context. Read Gunsmith Guide.
Sandbox Mode
How to spawn props, stage gravity and slow-mo style chaos, and build traps from map furniture and sandbox spawns. Includes private-server tips for friend sessions and links into friend-face experiments. Read Sandbox Mode.
Maps Guide
Walkthrough focus on known arenas such as Switchyard and Portal Lab, plus what to look for on every map: cannons, catapults, wrecking balls, and traps that turn a quiet lobby into a physics playground. Includes gameplay footage featuring Switchyard. Read Maps Guide.
Vehicles & Events
How and when to use cars, the tank, and the crane, plus call-in events — Nuke, Dummy Rain, and Zombie Outbreak — for maximum map-wide chaos. Read Vehicles & Events.
Progression Guide
Bolts economy, daily rewards, playtime rewards, quests, smart Gunsmith spending, and a level 1–100 roadmap. Pairs with the Bolt Guide and Loadout Planner. Read Progression Guide.
Friend Dummies
Make dummies look like your friends for clip farming, private-server etiquette, and pairings with Sandbox, crane drops, and world events. Read Friend Dummies.
How these guides fit together
Bad Physics is solo-friendly and also supports private servers with friends. Progression loops around Bolts, daily and playtime rewards, quests, and leveling to 100. Guides here stay practical: each page explains a system, links siblings under this hub, and points to Players when controls, group rewards, or community habits matter more than loadouts.
Use Scripts only if you already understand the risks of third-party tools; the guides on this hub never require them. For ranking which guns feel strongest in the current meta, jump to the Tier List Hub after you finish Gunsmith basics.
Suggested reading order by goal
- First hour: Getting Started → Group Rewards → Controls → Maps Guide.

- Patch day: Updates Hub → skim Gunsmith, Vehicles, and Progression pages for changed toys.
Tips that apply to every guide
- Prefer private servers when you want uninterrupted trap builds or event spam with friends.
- Join Bad Physics Studios early so Bankshot and the 500 Bolts bankroll your first shop purchases.
- Test one attachment or prop change at a time so you can see how the ragdoll reacts.
- All ages; play on PC, phone, or console — see Controls for platform notes.
- Bookmark Codes and re-check after major updates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for Bad Physics players.
Which Bad Physics guide should I read first?
Start with Getting Started for the group reward, UI tour, and first-session checklist. Then open Maps Guide or Gunsmith depending on whether you care more about arena toys or attachments. Use Progression for Bolts and level 100, and Friend Dummies for clip nights.
Do these guides work on phone and console?
Yes. Bad Physics supports PC, phone, and console. Use the Controls page for platform-specific notes, then return here for systems that are the same on every device.
Are scripts required to follow these guides?
No. Every guide on this hub is written for normal play with weapons, Gunsmith, Sandbox, vehicles, and events. Scripts are optional third-party tools covered on their own hub.
How often are the guides updated?
We revise pages after meaningful patches. Check the Updates Hub for what changed, then re-read Gunsmith, Vehicles & Events, or Maps Guide if those systems were touched.
