Mann Up is an official version of the Mann vs. Machine game mode that allows players to receive items upon finishing a mission. The mode is accessible only by owning a Tour of Duty Ticket, a tool that allows entry into official Mann Up servers, which is consumed upon finishing a mission. A Squad Surplus Voucher is presentable as well, giving all players in the game an additional item upon completion of the mission, including players who did not present a Squad Surplus Voucher of their own. Like regular Mann vs. Machine, random drops are obtainable, and the Power Up Canteen is obtainable and usable. Any weapon is usable with no restrictions.

Tour of Duty Badges

Tour of Duty Badges, or Operation Badges, are items given to players upon completing their first Mann Up mission in Operation Steel Trap, Operation Oil Spill or Operation Gear Grinder. The badges are the Operation Steel Trap Badge, the Operation Oil Spill Badge and the Operation Gear Grinder Badge, respectively. The badges are all-class miscellaneous items that count how many missions the player has completed, similar to the Dueling Badge. Each mission that is completed is added to the badge's counter. Uncompleted missions will use the Tour of Duty Ticket, but completed missions will not, leaving the ticket open for another mission. Missions that are lost or disconnected from will not use the ticket. Upon completing a tour, the tour progress will be wiped, the Tour of Duty Badge will increase its level by one, and another tour can be taken. Tickets are once again required for every mission of the tour.

Items Obtainable Only In Mann Up

Abandoning

When a player repeatedly "abandons" a game they will be temporarily put into a low-priority pool for matchmaking causing them to experience longer matchmaking times. A player will be found to be "abandoning" a game when all the following criteria is met:

• Leaving a game while playing a Mann Up game on an official server.
• Leaving without playing through a single wave to completion or failure.
• There are 5 or more players currently connected to the server (including yourself).
• Player intentionally quits the game.

When a player does not intentionally quit a game (such as losing internet connection) the server will reserve a spot for you to rejoin for 3 minutes, If you do not rejoin within 3 minutes you will be considered as intentionally quitting. Player that are kicked for inactivity are considered as intentionally quitting. Players that are vote-kicked by other players are not considered to have intentionally quit the game and will not be counted as "abandoning".
