    Gear set: Foundry Bulwark

    How do I get these pieces? My understanding is that these are in Iron Horse. Or is it only the Chest and Pack pieces? Seeing lots of builds with this set. I’ve been getting lots of Eclipse and Future but none of the Foundry. Thanks.

    You can get Holster, Gloves, Knees, and Mask without doing the raid, and the same for Future Initiative -- Chest and Backpack are raid-only (but for Foundry, at least, they're completely unnecessary). Eclipse Protocol should drop the whole set.

    as ElBiggus has said. (back pack and chest only from raid)

    but to get the rest of the Foundry pieces .. farm green gear sets in targeted loot .. so check the Targeted Loot overlay on the map... whatever it is.. if it's a zone.. do Control points and activities to get it.. if it's a mission.. re-run the mission over and over and over and over and over... yep.. did i say do it over and over yet?.. yup.

    One piece i need is Eclipse holster.. can't seem to get it for the life of me.. it's kinda annoying me... i know eventually i will get it.. but still..
    Good Luck~!

    Foundry BUlwark, ive got 3 masks, 4 gloves and several holsters, but knee pads? NOPE. Its like the game just doesnt want me to use this set.

    And on a side note, does this set work if you dont use a shield?

    You still get the constant 3% armour regen if you dont use the shield.
    I have equipped 4 piece & honestly couldn't tell if the set was actually working tbh.

    Probably because 20% of dealt dmg over 10s is jack schitt when the AI deals and instant 90% of your armor per bullet.

    Just lookin at the set, seems like it would be OP in PVP, where damage is less, but its worthless in PVE, where AI damage is beyond insane.

    I was thinking about trying to make a build with this stuff, but cant get the knees to drop and dont think the increase in durability will be worth the loss of damage.

    During State of the game they said both chest and backpack would drop from the season rewards. Only one drop. After that raid only.

    Go to: 33:10 in the video

    Anyone that's already lvl 100 that can confirm this?

    It's also OP in PvE, particularly with Adrenaline Rush, Intimidate, Liberty and a Bulwark Ballistic Shield. It deals a fair amount of damage (especially with a full Liberty stack and Intimidate procced), and you are almost untouchable.

    Here's me soloing AHM on Heroic without even really trying -- I didn't have my glasses on, and I was eating pizza...



    Works just as well in a group, or perhaps better -- the higher number of NPCs means it's easier to maintain Adrenaline Rush, and I regularly come out in the top 2 for total damage/number of kills when I play with randoms.

    Sure, not as devastating as full reds, but also not useless, and because the tankiness is so OP I plan to swap out some armour regen for CHC and CHD.

    Yes. There has to be some reward for bothering with the raid, and I'm assuming the pieces will be regular drops and not like Eagle Bearer with the "5% chance once a week if you finish it" lottery.

    The 4 piece bonus is a pvp based bonus. I run a build that utilizes 3 Foundry, 2 Goland, and 1 Douglas Harding. It's a Liberty build that hits 900k-1.1 million per shot when stacked. I use Intimidate/Adrenaline rush, in combination with the Liberty Talent to achieve this. The armor regen is amazing and if you can hit a headshot on command, your shield will rarely ever break.
