Players will encounter a variety of keywords throughout their time withRemnant 2, and while many of them are easily understood, that is not always the case. Bulwark, for example, is a keyword that some fans may be confused about, and there is no in-game glossary that can be used to alleviate that confusion. Fortunately, Bulwark’s effect inRemnant 2is fairly straightforward, and players can find details on it in what follows.
Remnant 2: What is Bulwark
Quite simply, Bulwark is a buff inRemnant 2that grantsdamage reduction. More specifically, the effect provides 5% damage reduction, and it can stack multiple times.Third-person shooterfans that are looking to create a character that is capable of tanking are thus advised to take advantage of all opportunities to apply the Bulwark effect, as building up damage reduction will greatly increase their survivability.

To note, it is actually possible to view details on active status effects in-game. To do this, players should simply open theCharacter menuand hover over the active effect in the top-left corner of the screen. While fans that have read the preceding paragraph will not need to use this method to learn about the Bulwark buff, they may find it useful if they encounter more unclear effects while working tobeatRemnant 2.
Remnant 2: How to Get Bulwark
The easiest way to gain multiple stacks of Bulwark is to play theChallenger archetype inRemnant 2. Indeed, the Challenger’s Level 5 Skill,Juggernaut, immediately grants three stacks of Bulwark, giving the character an additional 15% damage reduction for 25 seconds. This close-combat-focused class can also get two stacks of Bulwark for 10 seconds through its Relic Perk,Face of Danger, by using their Relic within 10 meters of an enemy.
Players do not need to use the Challenger archetype to gain Bulwark, though, as there are several items that grant the buff. Here are details on those items, andSoulslikefans that want to give their characters the ability to sustain an assault may want to incoporate them into their builds:
