In terms of gameplay, Overwatch’s developers have confirmed that there are some considerable changes coming to the German tank. Additionally, he’s got a more futuristic look to him, with the iconic lion symbol welded into armor’s chest and elbows. Sporting a long beard and new silver and gold armor, the Crusader is back in black. Every team should have at least one tank always, and it's never a bad thing when that tank is Reinhardt.Blizzard Coming into Overwatch 2, Rein’s looking a little bit older!Ĭoming into Blizzard’s highly anticipated sequel, Reinhardt’s looking a little bit different. He's not always the best choice on Control maps, but a skilled Reinhardt can be invaluable even there. Earth Shatter is especially effective when paired with Fire Strike and/or Charge, since both abilities can damage multiple enemies in one shot.īest modes/maps: Reinhardt is one of those indispensable Overwatch heroes who works in any mode. Wait until an enemy team is about to break through your shield and then use it. Reinhardt's ultimate doesn't have a lot of forward range, but like his hammer strikes it covers a wide arc. Use that wide damage arc to your advantage.
Anytime you find yourself in close quarters and your teammates are relatively safe, let loose with that hammer. Look for opportunities, such as when one or more of the opposing team is taking refuge in a room, or after your allies have scattered to deal with other threats. If your whole team is stacked up and firing from behind the shield, that's no time to go charging forward. Really, Reinhardt's offensive capabilities depend heavily on the situation at hand. Look for opportunities when you're rushing back to the battle after a respawn. Fire Strike is useful for dishing out quick damage when the enemy clusters in front of you, but remember that the few seconds it takes to activate the ability is time that your shield is down.Ĭharge is great against tanks due to its high damage output, but a long wind-up means it's not a good thing for taking down groups head-on. He's ideally the tip of the spear for an attacking team and the front line guard for defenders.Īs Reinhardt, your first priority should always be defending your team. Reinhardt's melee focus, large size and average speed means he's not the best choice for lone-wolf players. Throw in a healer and/or Torb (to repair the turret) and you've got a defended position that even coordinated enemy teams will have a hard time breaking through. Keeping that shield active and in front of teammates should be the primary focus, always.īarrier Field is especially effective when it's protecting a Torbjörn turret or a Bastion nestled in a corner or backed against a wall. Reinhardt's Barrier Field makes him uniquely well suited to soaking up lots and lots of damage. Tanks are there to soak up damage while their team's heavier hitters do most of the fighting. Part of the trick to Reinhardt is just understanding the role a "tank" hero plays in a game like Overwatch. Reinhardt may be the easiest Overwatch hero to get the hang of, provided you're a patient player. Reinhardt slams his hammer on the ground in front of him, knocking any enemy in range off their feet and stunning them for a few seconds. 10-second cooldown.įire Strike: Reinhardt releases a fast-moving ball of fire that travels along a straight path and passes through barriers (including enemy Reinhardt shields), dealing high damage to anything it touches. Any subsequently struck enemies are tossed aside, taking light damage. The first enemy struck is "pinned" to Reinhardt and sustains heavy damage if the Charge carries Reinhardt into a solid surface. There's also a 5-second cooldown before recharge when the shield is completely broken.Ĭharge: Reinhardt rushes forward in a relatively straight line - you can steer him slightly to the left or right - damaging anything in front of him. Reinhardt can move but is unable to attack while the shield is active. Shield charges at a moderate speed when not in use. It does moderate damage individually, but can hit multiple foes in one swing.īarrier Field: A forward-facing energy shield that can absorb 2000 damage before disappearing. Reinhardt's melee-only main attack involves swinging his giant hammer in a wide arc.
