How to play Reinhardt in Overwatch 2

Reinhardt is one the few Tanks left that can protect his fellow Tanks with a shield. It is important to keep your friends and yourself safe from enemy fire. You don’t want your shield to always be on the front lines.

Reinhardt can use powerful attacks if he is close enough to strike his hammer and charge an opponent into a wall. If you play Reinhardt with a defensive approach, you are seriously restricting your potential. However, it is important to recognize when you should be active or passive. Your team will be in serious trouble if they don’t have their shield. Your shield will help you and your team advance. When an opportunity presents itself, you can use your Fire Strike or Charge to stop the enemy team from advancing and keep your attention on yourself. Your Supports will keep you alive in most situations. However, if you receive any healing, your chances of walking away from encounters will be higher.

Reinhardt’s Ultimate works best when your enemy team is grouped together. You must be careful when striking another Reinhardt, shield hero or opponent. If you find your enemies lying on their backs, strike them with a Fire Strike or two. You can also swing your hammer to quickly eliminate them.

All counters and who to counter with Reinhardt in Overwatch 2

Reinhardt’s greatest counters are those who can either flank him or take down his shield. Tracer, Genji and Pharah are the first, while Echo, Bastion, Hanzo and Junkrat and Symmetra are the latter. Winston and Doomfist are able to hit him through his shield but there is no need to worry if you have assistance. Orisa can stop a Reinhardt charge, but her shield has been removed so she can’t block his Earthshatter.

Reinhardt’s greatest enemies are heroes who need to see clearly in order to do their damage. If Reinhardt’s shield isn’t destroyed quickly enough, Ashe, Cassidy and Mei can all have serious problems. Junker Queen, Wrecking ball and others can get stuck trying to destroy Reinhardt’s shield on their own.
