The Ap-Sap Level 1 - 100 Sapper Mann Co. got a great deal from a nice lady in an abandoned science facility on a warehouse full of slightly used, possibly mildly defective sappers. Unlike our other sappers, the Ap-Sap is sentient, and will provide hours of lively, one-sided conversation while you're trying to work.

The silhouette shows that the Ap-Sap can be applied to the building. Note that the eye widens.

A level 1 Sentry being sapped.

“

There you go. Once again, expertly hacked. Quite technical. Click to listen — Wheatley on successful sapping

”

The Ap-Sap is a promotional building weapon for the Spy. He is a flattened Wheatley core with a glowing blue eye, that has voice lines which are activated upon certain circumstances such as deploying a Sapper, death, and more. The eyelid of the Ap-Sap moves as he talks and widens when in range of a sappable building.

This weapon functions identically to the Sapper.

This item is awarded in Genuine quality to players who open a What's in the Portal 2 Soundtrack Box?, which was included via promo code with the Portal 2: Songs to Test By CD.

• When an Engineer removes this Sapper from a building, the Ap-Sap may respond as if the building was successfully sapped.
• The Ap-Sap does not glow when crit-boosted.
• In Mann vs. Machine, after sapping a robot, the Ap-Sap repeatedly says hacking voice lines once it has recharged.
• When inspecting the Ap-Sap, the eyelids do not move if a voice line is active.
  • If a voice line is active, then the Ap-Sap is inspected, the eyelids revert back to normal and do not move.

Trivia

• Stephen Merchant reprises his role as the voice of Wheatley for the Ap-Sap.
• The name of the item is a portmanteau of "Aperture" and "Sapper".
• The description mentions GLaDOS, the main antagonist from the Portal franchise. It also mentions the Aperture Science facilities.
• The Ap-Sap is a direct downgrade because the voice lines emitted from it can be heard by other players, even when disguised.
