“
Here at Mann Co., we take care of our mercs. After you’ve completed your first mission, you will get, free of charge, one Mann Co.-brand canteen. It's equippable in your action slot and filled to the damn brim with life-giving air. If air’s not your thing, these canteens can also be filled with a variety of power-ups at an Upgrade Station.
”

The Power Up Canteen is a default action item. It is an empty brownish-beige canister similar to a drinking canteen, worn on the belt or back and additionally adorned according to the power-up that it is "filled" with.

This item is used in Mann vs. Machine. When equipped and filled at an Upgrade Station, it is valid for up to three uses. Using the Canteen alerts the entire team via a sound cue as well as a message in the chat box. If it is not equipped, a notification is displayed, allowing the player to equip it by pressing J or cancel by pressing K. The notification continues to be displayed until it is equipped, as long as the player is on a Mann vs. Machine map.

The Power Up Canteen also doubles as a cosmetic item, showing up on the class model's belt.

Medics have the option of giving their Medi Gun the "Canteen Specialist" upgrade, which applies the effects of any Canteen the Medic uses to the player they are healing. The effect is instant and only applies to the one teammate being healed upon usage; boosts of timed duration cannot be shared across multiple teammates like ÜberCharges can. The Canteen Specialist upgrade also reduces the cost of refills for the Medic by 10 per level (with a minimum of 5) and increases the duration of any timed effects by one second per level.

This item was originally obtained by completing a Mann vs. Machine mission for the first time or via the crafting system.

Buff types

There are currently 5 buff types. Canteens can only be filled with the same buff, each with up to 3 uses. After being filled, the canteen changes its appearance, though they all glow.

Image Type Usage Cost
UberCharge Canteen.png Become Übercharged Supplies 5 seconds of ÜberCharge to user and a Wrangler shield that blocks 90% of damage to their Sentry Gun. 75 credits
Critical Hit Boost Canteen.png Become Crit Boosted Full critical hits for 5 seconds. Triples firing rate of user's Sentry Gun for 5 seconds. 100 credits
Ammo Clip Refill Canteen.png Refill Clips and Ammo Instant ammo and clip refill. Also refills Metal and Sapper; does not refill Sentry Gun ammo or Cloak. 25 credits
Return to Base Canteen.png Teleport to Spawn Immediately returns user to the respawn room and supplies a temporary speed boost. Cannot be shared by Medics. 10 credits
Buildings Upgrade Canteen.png Building Upgrade Upgrades user's buildings to Level 3 and fully repairs all existing buildings almost instantly. Only available to Engineers. 50 credits
