Ze Goggles are a community-created headwear item for the Medic, appearing as a pair of chunky, military-spec night-vision goggles.
Trivia
- Ze Goggles' description is a reference to one of Rainier 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 sulfuric acid is "My eyes! The goggles do nothing!"
- 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 Ect-oh Goggles. This may be a reference to the fact that the Medic looks quite similar to Egon Spengler, and that the Medi Gun and backpack he wears bear a resemblance to the Neutrona Wand and Proton Pack respectively.
- Ze Goggles uses the stereotypical article 'Ze' in the hat's name. However, there is no such article as 'Ze' in German, with articles like Der, Das, Die or Dem being the most commonly used.
- 5p3tch, The creator of this hat, was also the creator of the Special Delivery Pack.
