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 Canteen is an action slot item used in the Mann vs. Machine game mode. The Canteen is received by completing your first Mann vs. Machine mission, and once filled at an upgrade station it is valid for up to three uses. It is possible to craft additional canteens using Scrap Metal, allowing the option to have multiple canteens that the player can hold with different buffs and strategically switch out between waves as the situation demands. The Power Up Canteen also doubles as a cosmetic item, showing up on your class model on the belt.

Types

There are currently 5 known canteen types, each with up to 3 uses.
