Trivia[]

The name D3-FNC is a play on the word "Defense", as the Gear Set is based around being a defender.
The gear set was revealed at a special E3 2016 presentation of the Underground Expansion.
In Update 1.6, the D3-FNC 4 piece talent has been changed to disable the buffs from the skill mods, while allowing the SMGs to have the critical hit chance.
In Update 1.8, the 4 piece talent now has the ability to increase the health of the shield for every 3000 points of stamina.
