Reinhardt is a frontline tank hero in Overwatch 2, known for his immense durability and crowd-control abilities. He wields a Rocket Hammer and deploys a Barrier Field to protect his team.

Abilities:

• Rocket Hammer: Reinhardt swings his hammer, dealing significant damage in a wide arc.
• Charge: Reinhardt charges forward in a straight line, grabbing the first enemy he hits and dealing heavy damage. If he hits a wall, the damage is amplified.
• Fire Strike: Reinhardt launches two fire strikes in a straight line, dealing damage to enemies.
• Barrier Field: Reinhardt projects a large, forward-facing energy barrier that absorbs incoming damage.
• Earthshatter (Ultimate): Reinhardt slams his hammer on the ground, stunning and damaging all enemies in a cone in front of him.

Strategy:

• Use Barrier Field to shield your team from enemy fire, especially when advancing or retreating.
• Coordinate with your team to push forward when your barrier is active.
• Charge can be used offensively to isolate and eliminate key targets, but be careful not to overextend and get yourself killed.
• Earthshatter is a powerful ultimate that can win team fights. Use it when the enemy team is grouped up or to initiate a decisive push.
• Communicate with your team about your intentions, especially when using Charge or Earthshatter.
