In The Suffering: Ties That Bind, Torque also faces human opponents in the form of Foundation soldiers, the members of Jordan's private army. Foundation soldiers are equipped with machine guns and body armor; Some also carry bulletproof riot shields. The enemy soldiers are significantly stronger than many of the other enemies found in the game, as they use powerful weaponry, are often found in groups, and tend to make use of cover. When killed, they occasionally drop Xombium Bottles.
The Foundation Soldiers first become aggressive towards Torque in Chapter 7 after he visits Miles' bar, The Underground, and will attack him for the rest of the game.
