Aperture Desk Job Offical Boxart Release Date: 2022 Developer: Valve Publisher: Valve Series: Portal, Half-Life Platforms: Windows Genre: Rail Shooter

Aperture Desk Job is a free-to-play rail shooter developed by Valve, and is a spin-off of the Portal series. It was created as a showcase for the Steam Deck.

The plot presumably takes place in the 1970s, where the player assumes the role of a low-level employee at Aperture Science and, along with a Personality Construct named Grady, unintentionally creates the first iteration of the infamous Aperture Science Turret after an accident fills a smoking toilet with bullets.

Submachine Guns

MAC-10

One of the weapons attached to Grady's Turret Mk. 2, is a MAC-10 with an MP5-inspired front sight. The Player can actually fire this weapon, despite it not having anything connected to the trigger. Unsurprisingly, the player doesn't have any control over it due to the position. The sound effect of it firing is re-used from Half-Life 2's MP7.

Ingram MAC-10 - 9x19mm

The MAC-10 on the toilet. It appears to be lacking its proper top-mounted charging handle.

Machine Guns

Browning M1919

The Turret Mk. 2 is also equipped with a stubby set of Browning M1919 machine guns with some elements of a Browning M2 and conical shaped muzzles. Enemy washing machine turrets later in the game are also equipped with these.

Browning M1919A4 - .30-06 Springfield

Browning M2HB - .50 BMG

The Turret Mk. 2 with 4 Machine Guns. The barrels appear to be rather wobbly implying that they aren't that well put together.

The Enemy Turret after your idea was stolen by the Household Appliance Department. Notice that the M1919s appear to be even shorter than the ones on the Mk. 2 Turret.

GE M134 Minigun

The Turret Mk. 2 also features a stubby (likely inspired by the short barreled M134 seen in Last Action Hero), upward facing, M134 Minigun that the player can use. Like the MAC-10, the player can't actually aim it. It is also used by the enemy washing machine turrets. Like the MAC-10, the sound is also recycled, instead from Team Fortress 2's Minigun.

General Electric M134 - 7.62x51mm NATO

Short barreled M134 Minigun - 7.62x51mm NATO

The M134 on the back of the turret, unsurprisingly with no visible ammo source. Like the M1919s, the barrel can be seen moving around as if it wasn't installed correctly.
