"With this fantabulous device, you can detect radiation around you. It bleeps red, then yellow, then green as you get closer to the source. Who knows what you might find? Not available any other way!"
Every purchase will give 1 item.

The Geiger Counter is an unsplicable hand item. One can be purchased from the Store for 25,000 gems.

Function

When equipped, the item may emit one of these three different colored rings, or none at all, which tell how far the player is from the source of radioactivity in the world:

No rings - Very far.
Red rings - 15-30 blocks away from the source.
Yellow rings - 10-15 blocks away from the source.
Green rings - 6-10 blocks away from the source.
Rapid green rings - 0-6 blocks away from the source.

Once the player stands still on the source of radioactivity, the item they have found will automatically go into their backpack. If the player's inventory happens to be full, the item will be dropped on the tile they are standing. The player will then receive the Irradiated mod for half an hour and their Geiger Counter will turn into a Dead Geiger Counter.

The list of all possible rewards can be seen below. Each section is sorted from the most common to the rarest.

Trivia

When the item was originally released, players could only get Radioactive Chemicals from using a Geiger Counter. During the Crystals update, crystals became possible drops, along with other items.
As of Cinco De Mayo Week 2017, a Geiger Counter can only be used in regular worlds of size 60×100. Therefore, it cannot be used in worlds which 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.
There is a chance that upon using a Geiger Counter during a Geiger Day, the H.R. Geiger Supervillain will be summoned.
Geiger Chargers take twice as long to charge a Geiger Counter.

-NOTE: During [[Night Of The Comet]] (or in a world with [[Weather Machine - Comet]]), all Geiger Counters will emit green rings because the comet is messing up the Geiger Counter's reading. If players manage to find a radioactive item, they will receive the ''"Atomic Luck"'' [[achievements|achievement]].

The [[Dead Geiger Counter]] must be equipped in the player's hand and will take approximately half an hour to recharge, as long as the player does not unequip it.

+==Trivia==
-===Geiger Day Only===
+*When the item was originally released, players could only get [[Radioactive Chemical]]s from using a Geiger Counter. During the [[Crystals]] update, crystals became possible drops, along with other items.
-On [[Geiger Day]], Geiger Counters take half the time to charge and the ''"Irradiated"'' mod lasts for half the time too. There is also a chance that upon using a [[Geiger Counter]], the [[Villains|H.R. Geiger Supervillain]] is summoned. All other prizes are possible to obtain, however, the colored stuff is replaced with [[Geiger V-Neck (disambiguation)|Geiger V-Necks]].
+*As of [[Cinco De Mayo Week/2017|Cinco De Mayo Week 2017]], a Geiger Counter can only be used in regular worlds of size 60×100. Therefore, it cannot be used in worlds which 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'' [[Achievements|achievement]].
+*There is a chance that upon using a Geiger Counter during a Geiger Day, the [[Villains|H.R. Geiger Supervillain]] will be summoned.
+*[[Geiger Charger]]s take twice as long to charge a Geiger Counter.

-* {{ItemLink|Hazmat Helmet}}
-===Event only===
-* {{ItemLink|Tree Decorations}} ([[WinterFest]] only)
-* {{ItemLink|Ruby Shard}} ([[Valentine's Week]] only)
-* {{ItemLink|D Battery}} ([[Anniversary Week]] only)
-===GEIGERHILLS only===
-In [[GEIGERHILLS]], the [[Uranium Block]] is the only drop in the world. However, the player can use the Geiger Counter in the world as much as they want as the Geiger Counter never dies and never needs recharging if an item is found in the world.
-* {{ItemLink|Uranium Block}}
-===Treasure Hunt===
-* {{ItemLink|Meat}}
-==Effects==
-* When a [[Dead Geiger Counter]] is held, players will have the ''"Charging Geiger Counter"'' mod. 1% takes 20 seconds to charge, meaning that it requires 31 minutes and 20 seconds to fully charge a [[Dead Geiger Counter]]. During [[Geiger Day]], charging takes half the time.
-* When a player has found a radioactive item, the player will receive the ''"Irradiated"'' mod. This means that the player cannot find more radioactive items for the next thirty minutes. During [[Geiger Day]], the mod lasts for fifteen minutes only.
-==Trivia==
-* During [[Cinco De Mayo Week]] 2017, a change was made so that that worlds with an irregular size (eg. TINY) would not have any sources of radioactivity, rendering them useless for geiger hunting.
-* When the item was originally released alongside the Superhero Pack, players could only get [[Radioactive Chemical]]s. During the [[Crystals]] update, crystals became possible drops, along with other items.
-* Players can use [[Hot Chocolate]] on themselves to remove the ''Irradiated'' effect and charge the Geiger.
-* [[Geiger Charger]]s take twice as long to charge as charging while holding the [[Geiger Counter]]. However, they do not need to be equipped and can be placed inside the charger.
