The Medic on parasite infections

The Alien Swarm Parasite is an unlockable headwear item for all Classes. It is obtained by earning the Hat Trick achievement in the game Alien Swarm by completing 2 co-op missions (regardless of difficulty setting) online. This item can only be acquired from the achievement.

Trivia

Hat Trick Achievement Icon
  • This is the second hat that appears to be a living creature, the other being the Triboniophorus Tyrannus.
  • This hat is the first and so far only item to be unlocked via the achievements of another game.
  • This hat was speculated days before the game was even released due to the Heavy appearing on the icon for the Hat Trick achievement.
  • This hat looks much like a facehugger from the Alien franchise or a headcrab, parasitic enemy from the Half-Life series.
  • If you taunt with the Sniper's Kukri, Shiv or Bushwacka, the Sniper will very easily pull the parasite off of his head, before putting it back on - not a particularly clever idea if the hat is indeed alive.
  • This is the only promotional hat without a limited supply.
  • With the Mann-Conomy Update, this hat emits the same sound as a Swarm Parasite in Alien Swarm when picked up in the backpack.
  • This hat was tradeable in the release of the Mann-Conomy Update, but the following updates removed this possibility.
  • The hat description was written by Grug. It was slightly edited by Valve.
  • When the hat is shot after falling off of its owner, it will bleed which proves that the hat is or was once alive.
  • This is the only hat that appears on different locations on the head depending on what class is wearing it.
  • Originally, the Heavy on the "Hat Trick" achievement icon had a beard.
  • Apparently This Is one of the most unpopular hats to trade with That Spy is a Fricken Pyro 21:50, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
