Basic portal gun basics.

Here at Aperture, we take personal comforts into account (sometimes).
This is why you can tweak the portal controls to YOUR preference in the settings.

All portal devices come with the default controls:

MOUSE1: Blue portal
MOUSE2: Orange Portal
The mouse wheel enables zoom mode.



Using technology from our gravity guns, we have attached a Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator to the end of each portal gun. The default button to use this is E, but can be changed.

Do NOTS

To avoid a nasty lawsuit, we have gathered some safety information, to avoid injury to yourself, or others.

1: Do not look into the operational end of the device. Your exploded head bits will be scattered across ALL the dimensions.

2: Do NOT point the device at you, animals, and/or other people.

3: Use basic logic...

4: Do not cause an infinite portal loop. You will burst into flames, and eventually reach the speed of light, at which point you will break the universe.

5: Eh...

6: DO NOT SHOOT A PORTAL TO THE MOON AROUND ANY APERTURE SCIENCE EQUIPMENT. THAT STUFF IS EXPENSIVE, AND WE DON'T WANT IT SUCKED UP INTO SPACE BECAUSE IT MIGHT FLY INTO THE SUN AND DISTINTEGRATE!

7: Do not, under ANY circumstances, use the Handheld Portal Device or any other Aperture Science Equipment to potentially harm or interrupt the function of an Aperture Science Personality Construct.

8: Do not remove the Handheld Portal Device from the testing track. Failure to follow this rule will result in suspension or expulsion from the testing program.

Advanced portals.

Are you feeling confident in your portal abilities? You won't be after you try some of these expert manuevers.


"Loopfling": Although it is not recommended, you can cause an infinite loop to gain enough speed and launch yourself across chasms. However, irresponsible use of this technique can cause... "undesirable" results.


"StareAtYourselfForNoReason": Unhappy with conventional mirrors? For this, find a corner. Place a portal on one wall, and another on the next. You can stare through the first portal, and see your ugly face via the other portal.


"Breaking The Universe": Have you ever wanted to cause an inter-dimensional hyperspace wormhole collision at relativistic speeds? Well good news; you can! Simply find two Aperture Science Portable Wall Panels, place a portal on both of them, stand inside, and have them crash into eachother. The next step is to sit down and enjoy having every atom in your body simultaneously burned, crushed, erased from existence, and flung across the multiverse.
