Editing Weapon Foundry

'''Weapon Foundries''' are the arms manufacturing corporations of the [[City]]. The names of most weapon foundries were introduced in the ''[[Destiny]]'' base game, but they play a much bigger role beginning in ''[[The Taken King]]''. At least one new weapon foundry, [[Veist]], is introduced in ''[[Destiny 2]]''. ''[[Season of the Forge]]'' centers around a Golden Age foundry, the [[Black Armory]], and its head [[Ada-1]]. Some foundries have been established in the Golden Age (like the aforementioned Black Armory, Daito or MIDA), while others originate from the post-Collapse time.

Each foundry has their own unique style and feel, emphasizing different design philosophies. In ''Destiny'', legendary foundry weapons from [[Häkke]], [[SUROS]], or [[Omolon]] can be purchased with randomized perks from [[Banshee-44]] on Armsday. [[Cassoid]], [[Crux/Lomar]], [[Daito]], [[Field Forged]], [[Nadir]], and [[Tex Mechanica]] are responsible for producing several exotic weapons. Weapons from different weapon foundries tend to handle slightly different, whether it having different fire modes available on certain weapons, prioritizing different stats, or having certain perks available. See each weapon foundry page for more details. Beginning in ''[[The Witch Queen]]'' expansion, weapon foundries would have their own Origin Traits attached to its weapon when selected (i.e. Omolon weapons enhance its reload speed and stability as long as they are on the upper half of the total magazine, Cassoid weapon final blows leave behind bolts similar to [[Telesto]] bolts, etc.).

==History==
According to [[Commander Zavala]], the weapon foundries began from the traditions of tribal scavengers who repaired and restored the ancient technology of the [[Golden Age]]. These [[gunsmith]]s eventually became the large corporations of the City, but they became a potential threat to the City's common good (likely referring to involvement in the [[Faction Wars]]).{{Citation needed}} The City now monitors the size of the weapon foundries, and the surviving foundries continue to use new discoveries to improve the [[Guardian]] arsenal.<ref>[http://planetdestiny.com/weapon-foundries/ '''Planet Destiny''': Weekly Update 7.23.15 (Weapon Foundries)]</ref>

Some foundries have originated from the Golden Age and survived to this day with some changes. These corporations are often focused on preserving their legacy and implementing it into the modern world; the Black Armory is a fine example of this.{{Citation needed}}
