[[File:H3_Foundry_Default_Overview.png|right|thumb|250px|The default layout of the map used in multiplayer.]] | |||
Foundry was primarily developed as a [[Forge]] map, with almost every object on the map capable of being moved, deleted and replaced. When no objects are present on the map, Foundry is an empty warehouse, though the map ships with a default set layout using crates, boxes and prefabricated walls to create a multiplayer map. | Foundry was primarily developed as a [[Forge]] map, with almost every object on the map capable of being moved, deleted and replaced.

*It is possible to push a [[teleporter]] into the space above the crane nearest to the base area. Doing this will create a great weapon storage space. You can also shoot through the invisible floor at that area. Alternatively, one can simply glide up to this area, face it, and drop a Respawn Point; a teleporter can be spawned from inside. | *It is possible to push a [[teleporter]] into the space above the crane nearest to the base area.
