Auf wiedersehen, Dummkopf!
The Medic

Ze Goggles are an unlockable headwear 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. The line Radioactive man yells out when he is splashed by acid is "My eyes, The goggles do nothing!", with The sounding like Ze.
    • Ze Goggles' special description was in place before the Mann-Conomy Update, making it the only droppable hat at the time to have one.
  • Ze Goggles are also 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.
  • 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.
