The Ironclad Guild is a research and development group that is dedicated to improving the world through technology.[1]

Background[ | ]

The Ironclad Guild provided the Wayfinder Society with tools.[2]

History[ | ]

Before the Omnic Crisis, leading engineers across Europe founded the Ironclad Guild with a strictly altruistic mission: crafting inventions to improve the world, then making those inventions available to everyone without restrictive patents.

Though the Guild saved many lives during the Crisis, some of their technological advancements, like the massive skyscraper-building robot known as the Titan, were repurposed as weapons by Anubis, prompting a fair amount of soul-searching after the war.[3]

The group protested the construction of an omnium in Stockholm before it was shut down.[4]

Trivia[ | ]

  • The term "ironclad" refers to a warship protected by steel or armor plates.
  • As implied by its in-game description, Torbjörn's Ironclad skin may be what he wore during his time in the Guild pre-Omnic Crisis. He himself was originally named "Ironclad" during early development.[citation needed]
  • Brigitte's Ironclad skin bears similarities to Torbjörn's.
  • Bastion's passive ability is called "Ironclad."
