What is the best Bulwark Class build in Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2?

In Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, the Bulwark class stands out as a melee powerhouse, thriving in the heat of battle. In PvE or PvP, this tanky class focuses on aggression, defending teammates while taking on waves of enemies.

The Bulwark lacks the primary weapon but more than makes up for it. With the right setup, the Bulwark becomes an unshakable force, essential for any team looking to survive and dominate.

1. Best Bulwark Build in Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2

The best Bulwark Class build in Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 is the combination of-

Class Perk	Intimidating Aura
Secondary Weapon	Plasma Pistol
Melee	Power Sword
Signature Perk	Emergency Countermeasure

The best way to build the Bulwark class is by enhancing the class’s formidable tanking abilities. This ensures that the team (and the player are safe, even when swamped by threats like Tyranids and Chaos forces.

The Bulwark Class is special and cannot utilize the powerful ranged primary weapons that other classes can.

2. Secondary Weapon – Plasma Pistol and Perks

Plasma Pistol is one of the strongest and longest-ranged secondary weapons in Space Marine 2. The overcharge damage is very useful since the primary cannot be used.

For this weapon, the best perks to use along with the Bulwark Class are as follows-

Tier	Weapon Perk	Effect
Standard	Common Cooling	Common Shots generate 10% less Heat.
Standard	Fast Venting	Weapons cool 15% faster
Master-Crafted	Rapid Cooling	After killing 10 enemies rapidly, Weapons do not heat for 5 seconds. The cooldown is 30 seconds.

Artificer	Perpetual Velocity	Shots Charge 20% faster.

3. Melee Weapon – Power Sword and Perks

The Power Sword is the strongest melee weapon in Space Marine 2. There is no comparison to the other melee weapons like Thunder Hammer. It is the best (for both the Bulwark and overall) because it is a Bulwark-exclusive weapon. It compensates for the lack of primary.

For this weapon, the best perks to use along with the Bulwark Class are as follows-

Tier	Weapon Perk	Effect
Standard	Armored Strength	When you have full Armour, Melee Damage increases by 10%
Standard	Perpetual Strength	Melee Damage increases by 5%
Master-Crafted	Master of Offence	After switching to sword-combat Style, you deal 20% more Melee Damage for 5 seconds. The cooldown is 10 seconds.
Master-Crafted	Perpetual Strength	Melee Damage increases by 5%

Master-Crafted	Master of Defence	After switching sword-combat Style, you take 20% less Ranged Damage for 5 seconds. The cooldown is 10 seconds.
Master-Crafted	Perpetual Strength	Melee Damage increases by 5%

The above Bulwark build lets the tanks become giants of destruction in battle. There is not only the safety of being a tank but also the damage that can overwhelm single and even small groups of enemies.

By using Shield Bash and the Power Sword, you can damage enemies, both players and monsters.

The Bulwark class is played by those who wish to support their team or those who like a challenge. Many go at the ruthless difficulty with the Bulwark, as there is an innate handicap of not having a primary.

The Bulwark has the advantage of CC (Crowd Control), and the heavy defense means that combat will take longer but be safer. Especially for a team, Bulwark is the main line of defense and the beacon of strength.
