Portal 2 Puzzle Maker: Wall Hazards
- This article contains content specific to the Portal 2 Puzzle Maker. For the Authoring Tools equivalent, see Emancipation Grid and Discouragement Field.
Wall hazards are testing elements in Portal puzzles. They include Fizzlers (also known as Emancipation Grids) and Laser Fields. They are generally used to prevent a player or object from passing, or at least to prevent a player from passing without thinking first.
