How to REALLY Play Bulwark (Space Marine 2)

[@FalloutPlays]

PSA: NEW PATCH TODAY that fixes the Bulwark Full Health Refresh on the loadout changer stations, great timing XD. Bulwark still cash money tho. No ad today. Thanks for watching. Like today's vid for more individual class guides, I'm still enjoyin the grind on this game

[@kellerwolfe213]

Did this patch also fix the same bug for heavies?

[@Mighty_Jared]

Lol, armor on parrying Minoris kills more than makes up for the it.

[@teraisdead3091]

Fallout did you also see that the Fencing perfect Parry stat got altered? Can you do a video of after patch Balanced vs Fencing?

[@Ananomos]

You still get a full Ability charge so you can easily spam abilities to farm contested health. Plasma Pistol charge shots full heal in a few shots.

[@Lyonatan]

Doesnt matter, parry on minoris gives armor, I dont need health anymore xD

[@dredgen0268]

As a Heavy main, I wish nothing but the coldest of pillows and the freshest of water to the Bulwarks who leave me ammo boxes. They’re the real MVPs

[@spookysock]

As a bulwark main I leave ammo boxes, medicae kits, and gaurdian relics for my teammates. It's only right my fellow brothers are properly armed. 👌

[@MrSabnova3415]

@@spookysockI normally take the relics. Because banner rezzes anyway. Easier if I were to go down to get everyone up than the other way around

[@imperialofficerremusblackw8452]

Once played with a random heavy main whom I had developed an unspoken pact with. I marked all the ammo I found for him, cuz honestly heavy have big gun so he SHOULD get ammo first. As thanks he gave me first dibs on armor. I hope that man finds a 20 on his way to work.

i used Plasma pistol on bulwark so i can charge shot and disrupt the "i need my homie" dude , also i prefer the shock aoe build more

[@Miswired-2501]

i play the same way. charged plasma pistol is a damn gem

[@adamschirtzinger990]

Under rated. Bulwark's main issue is range, plasma pistol for disruptions/ dealing with Zoanthropes. But to Op's point. Hoard your ammo for when you really need it so the frens can have the boxes.

[@ScrawnyClownSnatch]

100% only good option IMO. Your sword is for ad clear not you're gun. Thats for stopping reinforcements and shooting psychers that fly, you're only weakness.

[@glenndelucia8877]

I've been thinking of llayjng with the blocking with shield gives 20% extra melee dam buff. If it proc from a parry since it's technically blocking it would be very good I think if your passing on the shock build

[@BloodFireDeath_]

@@glenndelucia8877 problem is that there is no indicator that the buff is active. You know that blue little marker below your health bar. I find it very weird. I agree that the dmg buff is great but the recovery from a shield bash is way too long, and I have a feeling that you only get about 3 seconds worth of damage buff. The shield bash is kind of useless outside of giving space from minoris. It does literally nothing against the warriors.

[@noahheider264]

I main bulwark and one thing i learned playing ruthless is that every execution is yours by rite, and if you have gene seed, you don't even let your teammates register that an enemy can be executed

[@reiic1073]

Yes but then you meet the heavy who thinks he should be carrying the geneseed and lose it in the last minute

[@imperialofficerremusblackw8452]

@@reiic1073 Or a heavy who thinks his job is also melee... yes they exist

[@SA80TAGE]

@@reiic1073 if you play right as a team, heavy SHOULD be at the back with the geneseed seeing as little cqc as possible. Bulwark up front taking aggro, you don't even need to fight with a good heavy on your team, just bring the shield up and put your back to a wall to give em clear line of sight. Cleared 2 Ruthless ops doing this last night. Heavy ended up with 800+ kills and barely took damage himself.

[@KalvinKoolAidKool]

Every execution isn’t yours by rite if you play with this mindset you’re killing your team composition every one has the right to execute enemies. It is very important for everyone in the team to be able to work together and if you’re hugging execution just because you play a bulwark to be effective in the team just shows the class is very bad since tactical and vanguard also benefit from executions much more than bulwark

[@Mornomgir]

Yeah that mindset sounds like most people out there. See the melle fella plod on doing his bit with 10 mobs whilst tac/sniper/heavy needs to wade through hundreds behind them.

[@sploosh6433]

If teammate is low health drop banner for contested health, while they are doing an execution. Brings them back up to full

@Daemon13277 Played a few more hours, and my efficiency skyrocketed with that tip. I'm still a beginner, but today I ran a couple operations solo (the first one) and never dropped below 50% health. I have to say: if you are solo (wich means all resources are for you) you are basically invincible. The power sword, cherry on top, so versatile.

[@balwgar92]

yeah crazy he didn't mention that, team healing is most useful reason to have a bulwark.

[@webbc99]

The Shock AOE build is soooooo far superior it's not even close. I keep seeing these Bulwark videos encouraging people to use the power mode with wide slow swings, which does fuck all damage and just spreads the enemies out. The perk that causes your parries to do AoE damage is strong. You do not need to use the cleaving mode on the sword, just parry one or two enemies and they will all die. The shock grenade on parry makes it even stronger - you will get free executions for days which keeps you immune in the horde, and not only will your damage be a lot higher, but your team mates will thank you when you're making enemies take 25% more damage due to the shock effect. Stay in regular sword mode, focus down the Majoris enemies in the pack by alternating quick attacks and power rakes. Make sure you take all of the % damage increases and specifically the 50% power rake damage increase - this guarantees an execute after 1 parry, 1 light attack and 1 power rake. Parry everything that comes your way, you will be literally invincible because of chaining executions. Your main damage source as a Bulwark is the parry aoe perk, and it ties perfectly into your best defensive strategy as well. You barely even take ranged damage because you're constantly refilling your armor with execute animations. The only time to use the power mode is when the enemies are climbing to the top of a wall and you can just cleave them down before they attack. But when you're surrounded, stick to the quick light attacks on majoris and use the parry damage to kill the minoris. I promise this way of playing is extremely powerful.

[@KhalainBear]

Sounds good, I would love to see some videos of how you play.

[@SA80TAGE]

@@KhalainBear doesn't play that much differently tbh, you still want to get parries as often as possible. It's the build I'm using (though I'm only like lvl 17 or 18 just now not maxed out). Just make sure your teammates know to leave the shock grenades for you specifically as they might not be aware of the damage bonuses you get.

[@IronHellion]

It's ok. I've played both a lot. Prefer this ultra tank build tbh. Both are very viable. Just goes to show you that the game is built well when you can go down multiple paths and be successful.

[@mochimoshiii6165]

I've maxed out bulwark and this seems more or less correct, the shock aoe is just free damage and the perfect parry aoe does wonders. Eventhough I'm not constantly attacking I can frequently top out on most melee damage in leaderboards just because of that sweet sweet perfect parry skill. (Side note: you can do a light attack with power sword, wait for half a second then do another light attack and it will do an ground slam attack that's decent for crowd control even in regular stance)

[@Dome665]

I use this, but I also switch dance. I kall it lawnmower style 😂

Tip if you're having trouble partying on bulwark. I found that spamming the parry button helps to activate the animation. Pressing it for me would bring up the shield half the time.

Re-watching this now that patch 4.0 has dropped, and made it necessary for me to finally get around to leveling up Bulwark. The patch has caused a new party meta to form: Bulwark, Heavy, Tactical.

You two are so great together it honestly makes me smile.

[@firefall3264]

Gotta say you covered everything amazingly the only thing I would add is how great the shield bash actually is especially if you have the bash perk on, throwing that in the middle of your combos keeps most majoris enemies in a constant stunned state to deal constant damage

[@Terminator45845]

As a bonus for your ammo tip, Gun Strikes don't require ammo. Seriously

[@iJobama]

The perk that instantly incapacitates a major/extreme on a perfect parry is really fun. I only use sprinting attacks with the Bulwark, constantly popping off gun strikes and keeping the armour topped up so that last perk may make more sense for me

[@Kodiakeatsworlds51]

Brother! I main a black Templar bulwark and the ability to one shot Lichters and Raveners is goated!😂

[@Sempergrumpy441]

Finally someone giving Bulwark the love it deserves. Though from my experimenting with perks between AOE build and full defense build, I find the AOE build seems to be more beneficial on tyranid missions and the full tank/ range defense build works well against chaos. When fighting the nids they tend to ball up on you so much they seem to block a lot of their own ranged attacks minus those annoying fuckers that lob the spines at you. Where the chaos enemies seem to spread out a lot more so the extra range protection is big. Maybe this will give way to being able to save different perk loadouts like weapon loadouts?

[@kuyakor2374]

Brother you neglect a bulwark's shield. the amount of damage you avoid is hilarious

[@Yorabasura]

CORRECTION!!!!! After today's patch. The loadout refilling health bug is gone and so is the Melta bug. So make sure you pick up your health! You do not have the free refilling anymore at loadout changers

[@outbreakperfected9374]

The banner + execution combo still instantly refills your health though. So as long as you keep using that and you are careful enough, you still won't be needing stims nearly as much as your teammates.

[@xxUncleBuckxx]

Just starting my Bulwark journey and these tips shall serve me well brother. The Emperor protects, Courage and Honour!

[@MoonMannPlus]

I didn't really see anything that would be too helpful in PVP, so I would like to add these things here: The shock grenade is the best grenade in the game for the Bulwark class and you get it at level 3. As a Bulwark, you want to garner as much attention as possible in any mode, but in PVP you also need to crowd control from a distance. To do this, the shock grenade is key when in conjunction with knowing where the grenade reload spawns are located. If you can cause fights to occur with a grenade reload station behind you, you can sit in that spot without much concern for cover and shell out shock grenades frequently with a much lower risk of taking damage. Being able to use your banner as a counter to any shock grenades that are thrown at YOU is also a very good strategy while you are locking a grenade spawn down. Especially so if you are blocking shots and start taking HP damage instead of shield damage from any source. Finally, If you start to get targeted and pressured by an assault class in a match, you'll need to communicate to your brothers to prioritize the assault as soon as he becomes airborne (if possible). As well as try to position yourself to be shielded from vertical attacks with the map geometry. This can be done by staying in tight corridors or door ways that you can use to break line of sight when you spot an assault in the air. The last tip I'll give is that if you want to push a shielded heavy, you are very unlikely to out melee the Heavy's continuous primary fire unless you use a banner or a shock grenade to blind him and reposition. I hope these tips can help any other people struggling to learn Bulwark in Eternal War mode.

[@sauravsidhant]

Love the fact that Fallout keeps your "Brothers" instead of teammates. You have become One of Us Brother.

[@johammedali419]

I’m watching this about a month after it was posted. And I only have 2 things to add. 1. When you are presented with ranged enemies, as long as they are not snipers, you can keep your shield up and waltz on up before using a shield bash, or you can use it as a chance to regain your bearings on the battle ahead of you. 2. Use the energy pistol, I will die on this hill that the energy pistol is superior to the bolt pistol. You can use the charge up to deny enemies from calling reinforcements, and you can rely on it to do way more damage in a single shot than any bolt pistol, especially against boss level enemies.

[@lcpoplockin]

Personally I use Intimidating Aura the AoE from a parry. There is no cd on it, unlike the electro parry one. Which is 30 seconds. I find it enables WAY more armor regen and sustain in the midst of a horde(At least for me and my playstyle) My best advice for my bulwark brethern is find what works well for you and become a god amongst ants. Fight well Brothers. For the Emperor!

[@dajaim4522]

I find letting myself get cornered by waves and waves of enemies when I'm last alive to work the best. If you're cornered they will only come at you from one direction and you can swing and swing in power stance and get gun finishers over and over and parrying is easy to see coming. You won't get surrounded so there is less to worry about.

[@primon7199]

That ammo tip for a bulwark is golden, I hate and get pissed, when a bulwark “steals” my ammo when I’m a Vanguard/Heavy/Sniper/Tactical. Surely the tactical can do melee fine too, but that ammo benefits me a lot more than it benefits you. The Assault is more or less in the same category as the bulwark when it comes to ammo, in my opinion at least. If the other 4 classes doesn’t pick it up, then sure, go ahead and grab it. Other than that, please leave it be 🙂 Great tip 👍🏼

[@hooliganfish]

I always ping it for my buddy and the randos. I never pick them up.

[@meowzur6960]

Bulwark tip: If your teammate is low on hp and you see that they are about to perform an execution, drop that banner next to them, and they will regain all their hp. (You must have the invigorating icon class perk). Note: You can also do this with the rejuvenating effect class perk, BUT I believe that it is a bug that will eventually get patched.

[@WalterJosefGS]

I noticed something, you usually commit to the swing of the sword even if there is an enemy to parry. You can parry mid swing if you choose to. Also it staggers all enemies near you, just a tip if you don't know it. (don't take it the wrong way I'm just trying to help)

[@HoosH_73]

With the power sword, dodging and holding melee does the sprint-attack of the stance you're not using and switches to that stance. A lot more fluid than stopping to switch. Also, if you upgrade the plasma pistol on the fast-charging tree, you can use a full charge shot to get a TON of contested health back after putting down the banner.

[@loweyethan]

Brother your opinion on this Class is Sound, Bulwark was also my first class to max out fully and i watched this video expecting a radical opinion but saw the build and playstyle i use instead being used Efficiently. The only thing i will say needs more reconsidering is your opinion on gun usage i see you were using the bolt pistol, throw that thing at a Xeno and never think twice, the Plasma Pistol is SO BROKEN!! I use the Power sword the most because its amazing at everything, but the plasma pistol is being severely ignored in this video it is the best secondary in the game and can only be used on Heavy and Bulwark, that alone should be enough reason to max it out and abuse everyone with it thats outside of sword range. And plus ammo caches can be picked up infinite times by everyone so pick up all the ammo you can, the bulwark even says when restocking WASTE NOTHING BROTHERS!! Other then that great video with great information, the build is strong i can vouch heavily it has cleared many Ruthless missions with ease of use. The Emperor and the Codex Astarties both support these actions brother 🤝

[@NSKsender]

great video new to bulwark. trying to get use to the parry.

[@Oshaoxin]

For a Bulwark, ranged isn't as dangerous as you claimed. If you keep your guard up you can technically block all ranged damage in front of you at no cost - you can follow up blocking with a bash which will temporarily boost your melee damage as well or a dash>strike. If you Sprint you keep your guard up automatically so they can't hurt you from the front if you charge right at them, followed up by a leaping stab that has a decent AoE coverage. Take a short pause after the first attack and press attack again for a large AoE strike to the ground, also has a chance to open enemies to Gunstrike.

[@WeaponZero]

Funny commentary and great tutorial that brought my Bulwark up from an eternally rolling baby panda to a proper stalwart Space Marine tank! Power swings and executions are OP! Level 23 now and can't wait to max him out soon! Man the Fbleep up! And yeah, too bad about the patch that "fixed" the loadout station bug... I actually thought it was legit part of the game as intended when I experienced that! XD

great guide and almost mirrors my play style for my bulwark.

[@Lohengrin88]

Thank you for the guide.

@FalloutPlays The Bulwark is a derivative of the Emperor's Champion, a rank in 40k Space Marine chapters. The rank is in honour of the first Emperor's Champion, a dood named Sigismund, he's badass loyalist from the The Horus Heresy 10,000 years earlier (in M31-2) Thanks for the build and tips! 😅😅

[@DokieToy]

Personal preference chainsword. Stomp attack deals better with crowds. And the chraged up attack from the rellic version deals big damage to bosses. Not that i would care, but for those who care. Note: after the recent update, stims replenish contested health, and than some normal healt, so if you are on the brink of death, use your banner, than use your stimm and you will be full healt. I usually do pick up only one stimm for backup. And use this tactic to get full health.

[@dxjjw]

I like the Bulkwark but man do melee focused class struggle against Chaos. Although that may have changed with the new balancing to Chaos enemies.

[@tylerarmstrong2855]

Something i uave noticed that no one shows is that when you place the banner you get the ability to restore all you health because it becomes contested and if you get a execution or parry that blue attack from the small ones you get all your health back and the animation is long enough to restore most to all of your armour and it works for teammates

[@powerlily2502]

Two things for my fellow Bulwarks out there: 1. You have a shield, use it! Most minoris ranged attacks can be blocked as you casually approach them so you aren't getting your health and armor chunked by the little bastards 2. The perk that gives maximum contested health when you slap down your banner doesn't just benefit you but teammates as well! If you coordinate you can have an enemy prepped for execution then put the Chapter Banner down right before your squadmate finished them off and due to the kill while their contested health was maxed they go from needing a stim to good as new. Every time I act as this diet-Apothocary I've recieved many of thanks from all those who I've met in public lobbies

[@cjsunshine]

Important thing to note with Invigorating Icon (the "max contested health when you drop chapter banner" perk), using that right before an execute gives you a full heal. Is it more useful than dropping it preemptively to prevent yourself from losing health in the first place? sometimes. Most importantly though, you can full heal your teammates by dropping it while they're in the middle of an execution. Their contested health fills immediately, but the conversion from contested to real health happens at the end of the animation. Also, i swear by the plasma pistol as your sidearm just for the guaranteed stagger on Majors trying to call for reinforcements across the map.

[@BlankEmoticonReal]

As of now the parry aoe perk has been fixed so you should definitely go for that as it allows you to clear smaller enemies and swarms easily

pesonally LOVE Bulwark. I also maxed that first. Though I use the shock setup as that does a great job handling entire hoards of tyranids at once. got 5 majors charging you, just perfect parry one, create a AOE field around you that damages all of them. I have killed literally 5+ majors with NO help before and just melee. Also, Plasma pistol is best IMO for the anti reinforcement help and hight dps on flying pychers. But I alse understand Bulwark has multiple good builds, which just makes it even better.

[@crazywolf5177]

For everyone who has problems with the perfect parry: Make sure to hit the parry button only once. Because if you hold it the game thinks you want to block and the Bulwark raises his shield to repell the attack. This will neither stagger your enemy nor will it give you a gunshot option. It will just block the damage.

[@TheWererapter92]

[@ThePieareround]

I suspect this build works well with a coordinated team you can trust to capitalize on the attention grabbing brick wall tactics. In random queue, I think I still prefer to bring the extra DPS from the shock talents so I stand a chance of killing a pack and catching up when my team has a completely different plan than me.

[@DemonCinema]

Idk if it was a bug, or still works, but you could (can?) take execution/counter shots with your pistol when it’s completely out of ammo. So more reason to not take ammo boxes

[@randomguy3080]

As a bulwark, here are the rules, talk to teammates and make sure you notice which is low health so you can heal them with the banner, also if you find the gene seed and there isn’t a vanguard on the team, you take it, since you will most likely survive, also, attack, I know that Bulwark is defensive but I see people who play it more defensively and while I do play the shock and awe build, I still attack while creating choke points, the enemy health just melts with all the area of effect stuff I have, like my shock stuff, my shock grenades, and my chapter banner which has the perk that makes it do damage, so I just destroy enemy hordes, and I keep my brothers safe

[@gregc8831]

Damn shoulda waited a day to make this.

[@TecknoNinja]

man i can't wait till they release apothecary for space marine 2 as thats my main in spacehulk deathwing as it will give me the most joy to keep my bulwark brothers topped up and ready to purge some zenos filth from the universe.

[@Kodiakeatsworlds51]

You can also make a parry build and its incredible too, i frequently get 11000+ damage out of it while tanking hits😂

[@GerdionXT]

The problem with parry is that u need to pre-parry, It's not like on other class. You need to parry before you see any blue circle. Maybe it will different on fencing weapon variant?

[@matthewwilkinson-vf8kt]

As a bulwark main i watch all the videos so i can be the best i can possibly be for my brothers

[@jeremyzaccardi1432]

Bro saying “be a defensive nightmare” changed my whole look on the bulwark

[@Lyonatan]

Focused strength gives u gunstrikes on minoris with shield bash, and its faster and safer than a swing.

[@net343]

I feel the chainsword is way better for both crowds defensively (aka being surrounded) and for single targets

[@theswane6160]

Chainsword pretty good too if you get in the middle of minoris enemies and stomp, guaranteed gunshot and most of the focus is on you (imo) also health glitch don’t work anymore

[@Xelnarash]

thx for the tipps

[@samg9106]

Pls make a guide for all classes and review weapon tier list for specific classes

[@KnightOfFaraam]

I’d love to see a good keybind recommendation

1:19 I don't think this was the absolute best footage you could have used to showcase how you're "the anchor" of your team as you're being absolutely decimated by garbage lol

[@sanguisuga6825]

I use the perk that makes non lethal gun strikes also give armour, since I'm not often below 50% hp and this way I get almost 100% uptime on the 25% dr when armour breaks

[@JoshTheMadLad]

Yep, and when you parry hive tyrant you get +3 armour.

[@jabadahut50]

Plunge into the gap amongst the throngs of the enemy! For you are the wall upon which their tides shall break! Your shield shall crash against them as a thundering shock wave and they will know you are the unbroken! The unbowed! The Bulwark! Now Charge Brother! Charge!
