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.
Buff types
There are currently 5 known buff types. You can only fill one canteen with the same buff, each with up to 3 uses. After being filled, the canteen changes its appearance.

Bugs
- The Buildings Upgrade Canteen has three bugs pertaining to carrying buildings and activating the canteen:
- Whilst carrying a Sentry Gun and activating the Buildings Upgrade Canteen, the Engineer will appear to have a Level 3 Sentry in front of him. When he places it, it will take damage, and be placed as a Level 1 Sentry Gun.
- Whilst carrying a Dispenser and activating the Buildings Upgrade Canteen, the Engineer will appear to have a Level 3 Dispenser in front of him. However, the Ammo screen will be blank. When he places it, it will take damage, however, it will remain at Level 3.
- Whilst carrying a Teleporter and activating the Buildings Upgrade Canteen, rings of light from an active Teleporter will be left where he was standing. When he places it, it will take damage, and the rings of light will disappear. Like the Dispenser, it will remain at Level 3.
Trivia
- There appears to be a ripped photograph among the Canteens on the update page, hinting at the possibility of a sixth Canteen type.
- The Soldier in the Mann vs. Machine trailer has a canteen in his poker match against the Demoman and later wears a canteen on his belt at 2:44.
