The Ap-Sap 1 - 100 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 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 Sapper replacement for the Spy. It 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 it talks and widens when in range of a sappable building.

This weapon functions exactly the same way as the Sapper.

The Ap-Sap is awarded in Genuine quality to players who opened a What's in the Portal 2 Soundtrack Box?, which is included via promo code with the Portal 2: Songs to Test By CD.

Update history

March 12, 2013 Patch

• The Ap-Sap was added to the game.

March 19, 2013 Patch

• Fixed the Spy not holding Sappers correctly in third person.

April 23, 2013 Patch

Bugs

• There are no gibs when the Ap-Sap is removed from a building.
• Upon a feigned death with the Dead Ringer, neither a model is dropped nor a death response is heard by the user or other players.
• 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 will repeatedly continue to say hacking voice lines, once it has recharged.

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 villain from the Portal franchise.
• The description also mentions one-side conversations, this is probably referencing the fact that Chell, the playable character in both Portal and Portal 2 along with other valve characters, do not speak.
