The objective of Foundry is to control all five capture points. Each team starts with their second and final control points locked, leaving only the middle point available. There are two steam whistles at the center control point, one [[RED]] and one [[BLU]]. If BLU captures a control point, their steam whistle emits steam while playing a train-like tone, and vice versa. There are [[Foundry achievements|12 map-specific achievements]] for Foundry.
