Aperture Tag: The Paint Gun Testing Initiative is a Portal 2 modification featuring gameplay focussing around the use and manipulation of the Gels featured in Portal 2.

Story

The events take place after the events of Portal 2's cooperative campaign's Mobility Gels course, and before the events of the Art Therapy course, in the Aperture Science Facility, while GLaDOS had finished building the Aperture Science Paint Gun. A test subject wakes up in an Aperture Science Relaxation Vault ready to begin his test. He is introduced to Nigel, a personality core and his test associate. He then is put through a series of tests featuring the Aperture Science Paint Gun, Aperture Science's final product. When the testing is over, Nigel was surprised that there was someone to complete every single test chamber and thinks that he is the proper one to deactivate the old Aperture Science Stability Stable Energy Reactor, the energy supply of Aperture Science, as a new one was built. Nigel is really surprised that he made it through so easily and decides to put him through another round of tests. Near the end of the test, the test subject accidentally breaks into a maintenance area of the Aperture Science facility, which happened to be the Emergency Intelligence Incinerator's control room. The test subject learns about his fate, and decides to close the fire area, so that he survives. When he reaches the end of the test, Nigel doesn't know what's wrong with the Incinerator, and claims that "he is actually happy that you didn't have to die", so he lets the subject out of Aperture Science. The outside is finally revealed when the "room" malfunctions and the truth is revealed. The outside was a simulation of Aperture Science, much like the one in the end of Portal 2 (according to Thinking with Time Machine, which isn't canon to the Half Life Universe)

Mechanics

Main article: Mechanics
  • Aperture Science Paint Gun
Allows the player to coat a surface with a never-ending supply of either Repulsion Gel or Propulsion Gel, and allows the player to pick up objects in a similar fashion to the Portal gun.
  • Aperture Science Paint Gun Activation Field
Has two sides: The green one activates the Paint Gun so that it can shoot gel, and the purple one deactivates it.
  • Aperture Science Vacuum Delivery System
As a substitute to the Portal Chamberlock, The Vacuum pipes are used for transportation between test chambers.
  • Glass
Though it doesn't count as a new addition it does work like non-portable surfaces; You can't put Gels on it.

Characters

The Heavy Metal Core

An easter egg found in a test chamber, the Heavy Metal Core sits in his chair and listens to a heavy metal version of Still Alive and bounces his eye container plate up and down. His eye is alternating red and white bands.
