The second day of reveals for the Mann vs Machine update was shown off a short time ago. First up, a second new map was shown off. Coal Town resembles the Old West style town from the Mann vs Machine reveal trailer.
Second, and perhaps the biggest draw here, is the fact that the six players will be able to upgrade various stats, abilities, and equipment when taking on the Machines. Canteens will be provided after the first completed mission for Mann Co. These canteens fit inside the action slot and provide a variety of boosts including, but not limited to: Ubercharge, crits, ammo refill, a building upgrade, and a quick return to base.
Upgrade stations allow you to upgrade your class or a class item. Some examples include:
Obviously, you should head on over to the Mercs page for the second day of reveals and to see what other sweet upgrade perks the other classes receive!
The third day of reveals and the release of Mann vs Machine takes place tomorrow (August 15th). Get ready.

Other mining museums may promise guided tours, “employees” and functioning bathrooms, but only Hale’s Coal Town offers the authentic mining experience! Smell the coal dust! See the coal piles! Don’t touch any of the exposed wiring!
Wondering where the gift shop is? It’s all around you! Unlike other historic coal towns, absolutely everything you see is for sale. The boards, dirt – if you can pry it off the walls and floors, we’ll sell it to you. Don’t see anything you like? Start digging! Hale’s Coal Town is built on an actual Indian burial ground, so it’s probably full of things the Native Americans thought were valuable enough to bury!
And while you’re here, why not mine some coal? Make yourself useful.
