The Mann Co. Store is an in-game micro-transaction service included in the Mann-Conomy Update. The store allows players to purchase in-game items such as hats, weapons, and action items using money stored in their Steam Wallet. The store does not promote 'pay-to-win' gameplay: There are crafting blueprints and random drops available for any non-cosmetic item. Creators of community contributed items receive a percentage of sales for anything they've created.

Pricing

Prices vary greatly, with newer and rarer items priced higher than older and more common ones. As a rule of thumb, rare items cost five or more dollars while common items cost less than five. These prices preserve the values of crafted or dropped items.

They're comparable to the costs paid for exclusive preorder items such as the Lumbricus Lid or Max's Severed Head.

Catalog

Item Sets are sold in packs with a discount. Purchasing one or more sets saves money over piecemeal purchases. Store-only items are available only through purchases in the Mann Co. Store. Unavailable items are not available for purchase but are still available in-game.

Additional Notes

  • Robin has confirmed that all items (except keys and gifts) that are available in the Mann-Co Store also have the chance to drop randomly in-game via the drop system. Source
  • Items that are not craftable and only purchasable (and droppable) include the Gloves of Running Urgently, the Rocket Jumper, Keys, and Duels. Plans to give any or all these items a blueprint have not been confirmed.
