Every purchase will give 1 item.

The Geiger Counter is an unsplicable hand item which was added on December 12, 2014.

Function

You are detecting radiation...

Geiger Counter removed.

When equipped, the Geiger Counter grants the Geiger Counting mod, which allows the player to locate radioactive items.

The item may emit one of these types of signal rings which tell how far the player is from the source of radioactive point in the world:

No rings - Very far.
Red rings - 15-30 blocks away from the source.
Yellow rings - 7,5-15 blocks away from the source.
Green rings - 4-7,5 blocks away from the source.
Rapid green rings - 0-4 blocks away from the source.

Once the player stands for a few moments on the source of radioactivity, the item they found will be added into their inventory. If the player's inventory is full, the item will be dropped on the tile they are standing. The player will then receive the Irradiated mod for 30 minutes (15 minutes on Geiger Day) and their Geiger Counter will turn into a Dead Geiger Counter.

The list of all possible rewards can be seen below.

Normal Rewards

Geiger Day Limited Rewards

Event Limited Rewards

GEIGERHILLS Limited Reward

Trivia

When the item was originally released, players could only get Radioactive Chemicals and Nuclear Fuels from using a Geiger Counter. Since the Crystals update, crystals became possible rewards, along with other items.
As of Cinco De Mayo Week 2017, a Geiger Counter can only be used in regular worlds of size 100 x 60 (54 excluding bedrock). Therefore, it cannot be used in worlds that have been modified in size.
During a Night Of The Comet (or in a world with an active Weather Machine - Comet), all Geiger Counters will emit green rings only since the comet messes up with their reading due to cosmic radiation. If a player still manages to find a radioactive item in spite of these hindrances, they will receive the Atomic Luck achievement.
Using a Geiger Counter during a Geiger Day, there is a chance that H.R. Geiger Supervillain will be summoned.
Geiger Charger is a block that could be used to charge a Dead Geiger Counter by clicking on the Dead Geiger Counter in your backpack and clicking on the placed empty Geiger Charger block afterwards. Using a Geiger Charger takes twice the time to charge compared to equipping the item on your hand.
Some normal rewards might not be obtainable during some special events.
Only one source are generated at a time. Two or more player holding Geiger counter at the same time will receive signal from the same source.
Consuming a Hot Chocolate removes the "Irritated" mod as well as recharges your Geiger Counter immediately.
Using the Geiger Counter in GEIGERHILLS will limit the rewards and you will only be able to get Uranium Block, additionally you won't get the "Irritated" mod.

-* The Geiger Counter enables you to find [[Radioactive Chemical]]s, Stuffs and [[Crystals]]. It costs 25,000 [[gems]] in the [[Growtopia Store]].
-* You can remove the irradiated effect and charge a Dead Geiger Counter by using [[Hot Chocolate]] on yourself.
-== How to use  ==
+==Function==
-When equipped, this item will emit 3 different colored rings around your player, namely '''<span style="color:red;">Red</span>, <span style="color:yellow;">Yellow</span> & <span style="color:green;">Green</span>. '''Each color has a respective distance.
+{{Added|You are detecting radiation...}}
-*  No Rings - You are very far from the source of radioactivity.
+{{Removed|Geiger Counter removed.}}
-*  Red Ring - You are relatively far from the source of radioactivity.
+{{Item/Mod|Geiger Counting|Miscellaneous|misc=locate radioactive items|note_1=Only item that allows player to locate radioactive items}}
-* Yellow Ring - You are near to the source of radioactivity.
-* Double Green Rings - You are very near to the source of radioactivity.
-* Rapid Double Green Rings - You are extremely close in range to the source of radioactivity.
-* If you are using in the same world as someone you would have the same signal.
-One very useful way to find exactly where the source is, find how wide the green rings last for (e.g. 15 blocks), go to the middle and dig up or down. The source is exactly in the middle of the area which produces green rings.
-[[File:Geiger.png|thumb|180x180px|A charged geiger counter.]]

-From 2015 WinterFest:
-* [[Tree Decorations]]
-From Player Appreciation Week
-* [[Glowstick]]
-== Effects ==
+Once the player stands for a few moments on the source of radioactivity, the item they found will be added into their inventory. If the player's inventory is full, the item will be [[Dropping|dropped]] on the tile they are standing. The player will then receive the ''[[Mods/Irradiated|Irradiated]]'' [[Mods|mod]] for 30 minutes (15 minutes on [[Geiger Day]]) and their Geiger Counter will turn into a [[Dead Geiger Counter]].
-When the dead geiger is held, you will have an effect "Charging Geiger Counter"
-After finding the source, you'll have an effect called "''Irradiated''." This means, you'll not be able to find any radioactivity for 30 minutes. At the same time, your Geiger Counter will be replaced by [[Dead Geiger Counter]]
+The list of all possible rewards can be seen below.
-Note: If the Geiger Counter is used on [[Night Of The Comet|Night of The Comet Event]], the geiger will always emit Green rings but not green (faster), because the comet's radiation is messing up the counter. If you manage to find one, you will get an [[achievements|achievement]], Atomic Luck.
