The Orange Box: Portal Hints
How can I get to the portal gun?
1 of 6: While the computer voice is yakking, look through the nearby window to see that the gun is mounted on a device that rotates it and fires it every few seconds.
2 of 6: Every time it fires, it places a blue portal on the wall that it's facing.
3 of 6: After the computer opens the nearby door, go through it and down some stairs.
4 of 6: If there's not a blue portal in the wall on the right, wait until there is.
5 of 6: Go through it to find yourself on an upper ledge in the portal gun's room.
6 of 6: All you have to do now is drop down to the lower floor and walk up to the portal gun in order to take it.
