The Bulwark Class in Space Marine 2 serves as the Tank of the team, and these warriors are the best when it comes to deflecting attacks. However, it's important to note that this category does not offer any Primary Weapons, so you need to be careful when you're choosing the rest of your equipment.

The Bulwark Class mainly focuses on using Melee Weapons and shields. The best news is that it offers the Chapter Banner as a default ability, which is used to restore the armor sets of all Squad Members within its area of effect. This can help you a lot when it comes to defense and holding the line when there are big waves of enemies.
