Limited Time Game Modes (LTGM), formerly Limited Time Playlists (LTP) until late 2021, are temporary custom gamemodes in Insurgency: Sandstorm. They are named custom modes with custom rulesets known as "mutators", created by New World Interactive and made publicly available as Versus and Cooperative modes for a limited time (typically around a month, though in rare cases and special events they may last for shorter spans of time). The rulesets used by LTGMs are based on those available for custom online servers.
LTGMs were introduced in Update 1.4. Since January 22, 2024, LTGMs have been decided in a monthly vote by the Official Insurgency: Sandstorm Discord.

| Chad Team 6 | "Who you call when the alphas in alpha squad aren't cutting it. Fight more enemies with more supply." | Each player has 100 Supply Points, allowing them to afford practically any loadout possible. This is balanced by a higher enemy spawn rate, meaning players are in more danger than usual. | Checkpoint | |
| Double Hardcore | "Hardcore, but everyone dies in one shot." | All characters are killed by any significant amount of damage, regardless of whether they have Armor on. | Hardcore Checkpoint | |
| Frenzy | "Fight fast enemies who only attack with melee and Molotovs. Watch out for special enemies." | All players are placed on Security and fight enemy Insurgents, who represent "zombies" and all only use the Khukuri.

| Frenzy Headshots | "Fight fast enemies who only attack with melee and Molotovs. Bullets can only deal damage to the head." | Ditto, but enemies only take damage from headshots, per a common zombie trope. | Frenzy | |
| Guerillas | "Capture and destroy objectives one at a time as you move through the area. Make do with fewer supply points." | Players have less Supply Points that do not increase with completed objectives, forcing them to scavenge from enemies or rely on mostly bare weapons. | Checkpoint | |

| Makattack | "Start with a Makarov. Scavenge weapons from the enemy, and tap Use at supply crates to grab ammo." | Players only have access to the Makarov in their loadout, forcing them to scavenge from enemies. | Checkpoint | |
| Pistols in Arms | "Capture and destroy objectives one at a time as you move through the area using pistols." | Players only have access to secondary weapons, forcing them to scavenge from enemies or rely solely on whatever sidearm they chose. | Checkpoint | |
| Quadruple Hardcore | "Triple Hardcore, and then some." | All characters are killed by any significant amount of damage, all players start off with low Supply Points that must be earned by completing objectives, and only shotguns are available in the loadout. | Hardcore Checkpoint | |
| Running in the 90s | "Move fast, soak hits, don’t aim, and experience Sandstorm co-op with a late 90s FPS twist." | Players cannot aim down sights, but move faster and have far higher health, simulating the gameplay of late 1990s first-person shooters such as Half-Life and Counter-Strike. | Checkpoint | |
