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. Ze Goggles' special description was in place before the Mann-Conomy Update, making it the only droppable hat at the time to have one. The line Radioactive man yells out when he is splashed by acid is "Ze goggles, zey do nothing!"
- 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".
- 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.
- If Ze Goggles were in the backpack before the Mann-Conomy update, it will now register them as Vintage Ze Goggles, which translates to Vintage The Goggles. A correct version would be Ze Vintage Goggles.
