Auf wiedersehen, Dummkopf!
The Medic

Ze Goggles are an unlockable hat for the Medic, appearing as a pair of chunky, military-spec night vision goggles.

Trivia

  • Ze Goggles' description is a reference to one of Ranier Wolfcastle's lines from The Simpsons' Season 7 episode "Radioactive Man", which has since developed into a meme. Ze Goggles was the first hat that can be obtained by the drop system to have a unique description.
  • Ze Goggles hold even more of a reference to the Ecto-Goggles (officially dubbed the "Paragoggles" in Ghostbusters: The Video Game) which appear in the Ghostbusters series, their name originally being 'The Ect-oh Goggles'. This may be a reference to the fact that the Medic looks quite similar to Egon Spengler, and that the Medigun and backpack he wears bear a resemblance to the Neutrona Wand and Proton Pack.
  • The prefix is a reference to the Medic's German accent making his words sound different, such as "Ze" instead of "the".
  • Ze Goggles' special description was in place before the Mann-conomy Update, making it the only droppable hat at the time to have one.
  • As of the Mann-conomy Update, Ze Goggles have a unique Nightvision Device charge-up sound when moving them around in the backpack. The sound was recycled from Counter-Strike: Source, another Valve game.
