Analyzes and slightly irradiates your enemies! — Giger Counter publicity blurb

”

The Giger Counter is a community-created secondary weapon for the Engineer. It's a device based on the M314 Motion Tracker from the 1986 film Aliens. It has a joystick attached to the top of the handle and emits a team-colored light that glows in the dark.

This weapon functions identically to the Wrangler.

The Giger Counter was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

• The Giger Counter was added to the game.

October 28, 2015 Patch (Scream Fortress 2015)

Bugs

• The Giger Counter lacks the description "Team Colored Weapon", and their BLU team variants cannot be viewed in the backpack unless playing on BLU team.
• The joystick on top of the weapon doesn’t actually move while in use.

Trivia

• This item's name is a portmanteau of "Geiger counter", an instrument used for measuring ionizing radiation, and H. R. Giger, a surrealist artist who heavily influenced science fiction art and designed the Alien creature, among other things.
• The design of the weapon is based specifically on the M314 Motion Tracker, a fictional tool that first appeared on the 1986 movie Aliens.
• There was a glitch involving the Giger Counter and Shooting Star where they could be Crafted with tokens. It was later patched by Valve.
