Vault 13 canteen

The Vault 13 canteen is a miscellaneous item in Fallout: New Vegas.
==Characteristics==
Aesthetically, the canteen appears as a hip flask wrapped in a fabric coating featuring a "13" in the distinctive Vault jumpsuit coloring. It appears to be a relic of the Vault Dweller.
As long as the canteen is kept in the Courier's inventory, they will take a sip from it every five minutes, restoring 15 HP and lowering Dehydration by 25 in Hardcore mode. An on-screen notification will tell the player character when this happens.
There is no way to choose to sip, nor does the canteen ever run out of water. The five minute timer starts when the canteen is placed in the Courier's inventory (not when a save is loaded) and runs in the background, even while the Pip-Boy is up. Under certain circumstances, such as when sleeping or fast traveling right before the hydration level reaches the trigger point, the player character can skip this trigger point and become dehydrated.
==Location==
Originally, the only way to acquire this item was by redeeming the code that came with the pre-order exclusive Classic Pack. It can now also be acquired by purchasing the add-on Courier's Stash or by having the Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition, which includes all add-ons.
==Notes==
* The font used for the "13" is different from the font used in Fallout and Fallout 2. The number also seems to be on the opposite side of the canteen.
* There is no animation associated with drinking from the canteen. As with other first aid items, the screen notice, slight HP increase, and H2O meter drop are the only indications of its use. 
* The message can occur while the Courier is attacking an enemy in V.A.T.S., while the Courier is underwater, or even when the Courier dies.
* The Courier will continue to drink from the canteen throughout the ending slide shows for the main game and all add-ons.
