Geiger Counter

The Geiger Counter is a portable, hand-held radiation detector item. It functions as a simple tool for monitoring radiation exposure: when directed at the user, the device reports that character’s current radiation level. Multiple localizations of the item describe the same basic behavior—hand-held/portable form and the ability to check your own radiation—so its role is strictly as an on-person radiation reader rather than a complex environmental scanner.

The device is compact and intended for personal use. Its primary and sole documented interaction is to point it at yourself to obtain a reading of internal or carried radiation. Descriptions in German, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, and Chinese all emphasize the same usage: aim the detector at your body to view your radiation level. Because every language source defines it as a manual/portable detector, it is presented in the game as a simple, easy-to-carry item rather than a fixed installation or vehicle-mounted instrument.

Practical notes for players:

• Use the Geiger Counter to verify your character’s radiation status quickly by pointing the device at yourself; this is the explicit in-game interaction described across localizations.
• The item is described consistently as hand-held/portable, so it is intended for on-the-move personal checks rather than remote area scans.
• The Geiger Counter’s described purpose is limited to checking the user’s own radiation level; other functions are not documented in the provided localizations.

This entry summarizes the device’s established role: a straightforward, portable tool whose documented function is to report the user’s radiation level when aimed at them.
