Combat missions in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare demand optimal hydration. Fortunately, the Big Green Vending Machine has got you covered.

Attention, monster hunters: Here’s a pair of soda machines from arcade light gun shooter Beast Busters: Second Nightmare! Screenshot via Hardcore Gaming 101.

There are a few red soda machines scattered around this Zoo Empire screenshot. Here’s a closer look…

Soda machines from 120-en no Haru: ¥120 Stories for the PS2. Google says ¥120 is a reasonable price for a can of soda, so I guess this checks out.

It’s a VoidKa vending machine from The Tomorrow Children. The word “karbonate” on the labeling suggests that it’s some kind of soft drink and not just straight up vodka.

Besides, in my experience, vodka rarely confers “increased organization acumen” or “spatial calculation prowess” upon the imbiber.

It’s a cold drinks machine from Hobo: Tough Life, a “city survival RPG” currently in Early Access.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to keep yourself properly caffeinated in Mission: Impossible for the PlayStation. Thanks, Littlenorwegians!
