The Mann Co. Catalog is an in-game index of all items within Team Fortress 2. Released in the Mann-Conomy Update, the catalog enables players to view information and images of specific items and provides shortcuts to each item's respective article on the Team Fortress Wiki (through the "Item Wiki Page" button) as well as links to purchase said item in the Mann Co. Store. There are currently over 1,500 items listed in the Mann Co. Catalog.

The catalog may be accessed through the "Items" screen on the main menu.

Screen elements

Item Selection Window

Nearly all of the items presently or historically obtainable in the game are listed in the catalog. The arrows may be clicked to scroll through the pages, or a parameter may be chosen from the drop down box. When hovering over an item, a larger image of it will pop up. Upon selecting an item in the Catalog, information will be provided through the Info Pane.

Info Pane

This box provides detailed information about the items available in Team Fortress 2. When an item is selected, the Info Pane indicates which class may equip the item, the slot to which it is assigned, provides a brief item description, lists the item's effect(s), and also lists the tools that are compatible with it.

View in Store

This button leads to the selected item's Mann Co. Store page, where it may be available for purchase. On the item's store page, players can preview the item in use by any class that may equip it. This button does not work with the new Mann Co. Store UI, which has been assigned to users at random for testing.

Trivia

  • The book cover in the icon for the Catalog spells itself as "Catalogue". In the USA (where Team Fortress 2 is set) and Canada, both catalog and catalogue spellings are used, with catalogue more traditional and catalog far more common. The Mann Co. Catalogue book uses the spelling common in Commonwealth English, in accordance with Mann Co. being an international (and partly-Australian) company in the game's lore (note the outline of Australia on the cover).
