item_nugget is a model entity available in Portal 2. It is an "Aperture Incentivizing Nugget", seemingly intended as a collectible item for a scrapped multiplayer mode. Touching the nugget will pick it up, adding to the player's "score", which can be seen only in multiplayer by binding a key to +score and using it to open the scoreboard. Once picked up, the nugget will respawn after a configurable amount of time.

The model used by the entity is a modified version of the Team Fortress 2 neutral capture point hologram, with the beam removed and various colored skins added with the Aperture logo and the point value in the center. In-game, the model is also scaled based on the point value, with 25 points being the largest.
