Two Bots, One Wrench

This is a sub-page of Prerelease:Portal 2.

This page sucks. If you could make it suck less, that would be awesome.

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Two Bots, One Wrench is a design experiment by Valve worked on in 2008.

When Valve was making experimental games, this was their third experiment. It has 3 videos on Youtube.

From the 2009 Portal 2 Beta leak and the available footage on YouTube, the game would've seen the two bots and the player navigating through Nova Prospekt solving puzzles and assisting in killing the prison guards as they go. The robots would react in real time to the player's actions.

The game reuses many assets from Half-Life 2 and Team Fortress 2, with the robot NPCs having basic designs and texturing, having reused gameplay functionality, specifically the Dispenser, used by the Medic Bot, The Sentry, used by the Offensive Bot.

Offensive Bot#

The Offensive Bot was supposed to assist the player by helping killing the Nova Prospekt guards.

It was possible to bring the bot to an upgrade station to receive the following upgrades:

• Two minigun barrels, making it capable of planting in place to become a portable turret
• Increased damage
• Increased bullet output.
• Increased rocket damage.
  

If the bot isn't upgraded yet it will simply attack guards by hand.
