The Alien Swarm Parasite is an unlockable headwear item for all Classes. It is obtained by earning the Hat Trick achievement in the game Alien Swarm by completing 2 co-op missions (regardless of difficulty setting) online.

The hat description was written by Grug. It was slightly edited by Valve.

Trivia

  • The hat resembles a "Template:W", from the Template:W franchise, or a "Headcrab", a parasitic enemy from the Half-Life series.
  • If you taunt with the Sniper's Kukri, Shiv or Bushwacka, the Sniper will very easily pull the parasite off of his head, before putting it back on; this seems to reinforce the hat's description that it is merely along for the ride and not hostile.
  • When the hat is shot after falling off of its owner, it will bleed which proves that the hat is, or once was, alive.
  • Originally, the Heavy on the "Hat Trick" achievement icon had a beard.
  • Like most promotional hats, the Alien Swarm Parasite does not count towards the recrafting hat blueprint.
  • The hat is given to beta members who have gotten the "Hat Trick" achievement.
