Geiger Counters are an item that was added to the game with the release of the Stella Montis map. It can be recycled into Batteries x3 and Exodus Modules x1. Players can sell this item for 3,500 coins, and you can carry three in a single stack. The information on the item shows that it can be found in Exodus locations, so the best place to look for them is Stella Montis.

Before loading into a match, if you only need the Geiger counters and nothing else, you can go with no items at all. This, despite being a bit risky, ensures that you have a safe pocket, which the free loadout does not offer.

Your main objective is to spawn into the map and check if you are near the Assembly or Assembly Workshop and if the match has just started. If this isn't the case, you can simply surrender and go back to Esperanza, having lost nothing.

Once you load into an optimal spawn near the Assembly Workshop, you need to check every tool chest around the area, which are either yellow or white in color. These have the highest chance to drop the Geiger counters as well as other purple rarity items. There are a few of these tool chests on the ground floor, then you can go up the stairs next to the hatch and go inside the room to find another.

If you get hold of a lot of items that you need, you can put the Geiger counters in your safe pocket and make your way to the nearest extraction, calling out to other raiders that you are unarmed.

As these items are high in value and drop rarely, you can opt for the Night Raid option whenever it is available to increase the chances of getting more of these.
