Truncations of the 2PI effective action are seen as a promising tool to study non-equilibrium dynamics in quantum field theories. We probe their applicability in the non-perturbative setting of topological defect formation in a symmetry-breaking phase transition, by comparing full classical lattice field simulations and the 2PI formulation for classical fields in an O(N) symmetric scalar field theory. At next-to-leading order in 1/N, the 2PI formalism fails to reproduce any signals of defects in the two-point function. This suggests that one should be careful when applying the 2PI formalism for symmetry breaking phase transitions.
