It is common knowledge that there are 3 main foundries; Omolon, Hakke, and SUROS. However, there are other foundries that have been... lost. In the Crucible, many have found the last relics from these Golden Age foundries. They are Cassiod, Nadir, Tex Machanica, and the mysterious Daito.
These weapons however, are very unique - starting with "Silvered", "Black", "Bronzed" and, "Painted". You might have even seen them - but they have story.
Cassiod makes the Telesto and the Invective. However, there are a few more weapons that they make; the Painted Mos Ardus V and the Bronzed Nox Volo V.
The foundry Nadir, who has been seeing a comeback with the Nemesis Star makes more weapons. The Painted Neptune MSc, the Painted Apollo MSc, the Silvered Continuum MSc, the Bronzed Chasma Esc and, the Black Chasma Esc are all made from Nadir. Nadir seems to only make Pulse Rifles and Shotguns, the former starting with "Painted", and the later with "Black" and "Bronzed".
A forgotten foundry is surprising popular with Guardians from the Last City is Daito - know for the construction of the Exotic Scout Rifle Jade Rabbit. However, Daito seems to make only long range weapons with their over weapon being the rare Silvered Caracas-LR4 Sniper Rifle.
Known for the last "cowboy" style weapons - Tex Machanica has some hidden secrets themselves. The Last Word, The First Curse and, the Chaperone is not the only hard hitting weapon they have. Tex Machanica is primarily in the Hand Cannon market with their other two weapons being the Painted Big Chief Mk. 45 (which might be the prototype First Curse as they both have 94 on the Impact scale), and the Silvered Maverick Mk. 41 Hand Cannons.
Omolon is a popular manufacturer of weapons, and they offer an amazing Scout Rifle - the Painted Abaddon SR5. This unique weapon scored a 38 on the Impact scale and 42 on the Rate of Fire scale.
The only true mysterious thing that is left is a simple question. Why? Why are these relics in the hands of Shaxx - and what happened to the once mighty foundries...?
-
Who makes the Iron Banner weapons, particularly the ones from year 3?
-
I think that if you have 'Wolf' in your name, being barefoot is just assumed.
-
Who made the Galahad auto rifle?
-
I think bungie exited these foundries effectively, i mean they gave you a sweet gun and thats it
-
Hm, let's see... Well written, paragraphs, interesting info, valid topic for discussion at the end. Mmyes. Quality post.

Bronzed Nox Volo Is my favorite Y1 Fusion *Fight Me*
-
Genuinely surprised there's no comments on the spelling mistake, until now.
-
I want a tex machanica scout made like a Winchester rifle with an exotic perk the longer range the head-shots the more damage they do. The gun would have Iron sights of course for that give it the old west feel and make head-shots satisfying.

Daito Does Destiny [spoiler]I regret nothing[/spoiler]
-
There's a grimoire card about Shaxx where he has Arcite-99 blackmail a foundry for their guns because they were trying to bribe him to make their gear look better, I think....
-
Love these. Isn't there a new foundry that was revealed with the reveal events/beta? Black and green weapons? I forgot the name but there was a sniper-rifle, submachine gun and scout rifle for it.
-
Couldnt keep up with the meta?
-
TeX Mechanica isn't forgotten. They are just lazy af and don't make weapons.

Sorry, but you've failed to meet the requisite amount of salt for a forum post. Please delete and try again later. Just kidding. Nice post. 😋
-
Daito also makes locks. Look closely at the doors in the Tower.
-
Bump You forgot Veist
-
Great post. Don't forget Crux/Lomar.
-
Nadir weapons can easily be found through all the expansions simply by looking for the 3 letter designator after the name, like MsM, MsC, EsM, and so on.
-
Was Hard Luck the prototype for Ace of Spades?
-
Edited by xilxad: 8/6/2017 12:58:38 PMWhat is the name of the foundry that made VOC. On the side of the gun it says "ACT" or something? I think they did Mida as well.
-
I've hear Zavala say before, "The Daito prototypes were a success." Or something to that extent
-
You forgot Crux Lomar
-
There is just so much lore and story to uncover, I hope we get to discover some fleshed out backstory to a lot of those things in the years to come !
-
Wow I forgot all about that Big Chief, but I used regularly in the early days of the game. Totally explains why I love the first curse now!
