With this handy device, you can detect radiation. As you get closer to the source, the device will ping red, then yellow, then green for the closest. Stand still where you think the source is and you just might find it!

How to use

When equipped, this item will emit 3 different colored rings around your player, namely Red, Yellow & Green. Each color has a respective distance.

  • No Rings - You are very far from the source of radioactivity.
  • Red Ring - You are relatively far from the source of radioactivity.
  • 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.

A charged geiger counter.

Possible Drops

Upon reaching the hidden source of radioactivity you will receive either one the following items (from most common to rarest):

Geiger Day Only

Event only

GEIGERHILLS only

Effects

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. During the Geiger Day "Irradiated" mod is only added for 15 minutes.At the same time, your Geiger Counter will be replaced by Dead Geiger Counter.

Note: If the Geiger Counter is used on 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 achievement, Atomic Luck.

Note: Geiger counters charge 1% every 20 seconds, (31 min for 100%). During Geiger Day it only takes 15 minutes to fully charge geiger counter. Charging your geiger in geiger charging worlds will not speed up the charging, just stand in any world. Therefore, Geiger Charging Worlds are rendered useless.

Trivia

  • You can actually change the location of the source of radioactivity by changing the settings of the Weather Machine-Stuff
  • Anyone can see the same signal in a world you are on, meaning that if someone finds the source you are looking for, your Geiger Counter will target on another signal.
  • At Cinco de Mayo of 2017, a change was added that only worlds with an irregular size (eg. TINY) do not have any sources of radioactivity, rendering them useless for Geiger hunting.
  • When the item was originally released alongside the Superhero Pack , you'd only get radioactive chemicals, and at that point, the Xenonite Crystal's recipe was yet to be discovered, and so the price dropped dramatically.
Effect of the "irradiated" mod you get from finding Crystals or Radioactive Chemicals.
