The Bulwark doesn’t use a main weapon but instead has a shield. This shield is great for blocking attacks and hitting enemies up close. With the right boosts to your melee weapon, you can be on the front line, taking on dangerous enemies like Tyranids or Chaos forces to protect your team.

How to Play Bulwark Class?

Here is how to play as Bulwark Class follow these steps:

Use Your Shield Well:

The Bulwark class in Space Marine 2 starts with a shield instead of a main weapon. You can use the shield to block most attacks, including projectiles when you run with it. Blocking with the shield counts as a parry but doesn’t trigger a gun strike. In PvP, the shield can't block melee attacks from enemies.

Activate Chapter Banner:

The Bulwark’s special ability, Chapter Banner, restores armor to you and your team within a small area. This skill is very useful in fights to protect your squad.

Limited Ranged Weapons:

As a Bulwark, you have few ranged options. The Bolt Pistol fires quickly and is good for small enemies, while the Plasma Pistol can stun targets, making it better for PvP.

Choose Your Melee Weapon:

You can pick from the Chainsword, Power Fist, or Power Sword. The Chainsword is fast and builds damage quickly, the Power Sword is slower but hits hard, and the Power Fist has a wider attack range.
