Black Armoury

"Vessa: Hello there. You must be the people Mr. Tachibana was talking about. Three ladies, one man; just as expected. Of course, you will be of great help to us. I'm sure the Drifter probably filled you in, but just in case he didn't. My name is Vessa and this is my wife Elena. We got assignments for you four. Elena? Elena: You four are going to help out the Black Armoury. There are aliens out there in the galaxy causing havoc and pounding the Eclipse Empire and what's left of the Supreme Republic. You see, our Black Forges are their targets. We use said Forges to create weapons and provide those weapons to our friends in the Eclipse Military and our clientele. From what Drifter told us, the each of you are of great importance from where you come from. Vessa: Now we know you must have questions, but we can't slack off and talk. We wanna give you an sample of what you will be doing. Take this Weapon Frame and go to the Tatarr Forge. Clear out the Grimm and Kormans, and use that Frame to forge your own weapon. Use the bench over there."

- Black Armoury introduction

The Black Armoury is a subscription centered around the Armoury and available with the Black Armoury, Deluxe and Grimm Slayer Editions of Call of Duty: Age of Extinction, players will receive access to Black Armoury content.

The Black Armoury introduces two new characters: Vessa and Elena, a married couple who spends their lives as high-end mercenaries in the Eclipse Universe and as associates to Mr. Tachibana, and reintroduces a familiar cast of characters as a fireteam assisting Vessa and Elena. Described by Vessa and Elena, the Black Armoury is a sub-division of Mr. Tachibana's Armoury run by the wives and is where he creates most of the weapons he sells. Others who have also proved their worth have forged their own weapons as well.

Players will also be playing as a fireteam made up of returning characters from other Morningwood Arts' Call of Duty games which includes Lindsey Fall from Call of Duty: Federation War, Haley Marcy Rose and Casey Lee Hall from Call of Duty: Awakening of the Hive, and Jenkins Fall from Call of Duty: Resistance.

Tachibana Games confirmed that with the Black Armoury, players will be able to create their own Specialized Weapon Variants through the group's "Black Forges" which are scattered across the galaxy.

Black Forges
The new activity for Age of Extinction, players will be able to create their own SWVs and forge them in one of the Black Forges owned by the Black Armoury. However due to the nature of these Forges, they are all targets for the Korma Empire who have sent numerous battle groups to destroy these forges and stop Mr. Tachibana's production of weapons.

At launch, there are six Black Forges available for players to forge their own Specialized Weapon Variants. Tachibana Games confirmed that with each new update to the Black Armoury subscription service, a new Black Forge will become available.
