Reinhardt Wilhelm styles himself as a champion of a bygone age, who lives by the knightly codes of valor, justice, and courage.
PRIMARY FIRE
Devastating melee weapon dealing 100 damage per swing in a wide arc. Swings at 1.04 attacks/s (104 DPS). 4 meter range. Knocks back enemies. Alternates swing direction with each attack. No quick melee — attempting to use it swings the hammer instead.
PASSIVE
Less ultimate given by healing and damage received. Increases base health by 150 in Role Queue game modes. Ultimate charge and perk progress from damage and healing dealt to tanks is reduced by 40%.
PASSIVE
Reduces knockbacks received by 40% and the effectiveness of slowing effects received by 40%.
SHIFT
Charge forward pinning the first enemy hit. Pinned enemies take 300 damage if smashed into a wall, or 50 if knocked aside. Up to 50.2m range at +200% movement speed. Can be cancelled early. Colliding with another charge causes mutual knockdown. 7 second cooldown.
E
Launch a flaming projectile that pierces barriers and enemies. Deals 120 damage with a 0.85m projectile radius. 2 charges, 6 second cooldown per charge. Travels at 30 m/s. Stopped by terrain and terrain-like objects.
SECONDARY
Deploy a 1500 HP frontal energy barrier (4.25m tall, 6.8m wide). -30% movement speed penalty. Regenerates 150 HP/s after being down for 2 seconds. Cannot attack while sustaining it. Released automatically when using other abilities.
ULTIMATE
Slam the hammer down, knocking down all enemies in a 25m cone (50 degree angle) for 3 seconds. Deals 50 damage (200 critical damage within 1.75m of impact). Shockwave is 1.8m tall. Channeled — interrupted by stun, knockdown, or hack. 1960 point cost.
PASSIVE
Receive reduced knockback and grant less Ultimate charge to enemies from damage and healing.
PRIMARY
A massive rocket-powered hammer dealing 100 damage per swing in a wide arc. 1.04 swings/s, 4m range. Knocks back enemies in the swing direction. Cannot headshot. Alternates swing direction with each consecutive attack.

Removed.
Ultimate cost increased by 9%.
Developer comment: Earthshatter has the potential to swing fights and is often generated quickly in close-range engagements. Increasing the ultimate cost better aligns its charge rate with its overall impact.
Barrier Field regeneration rate increased from 150 to 200.
New Major Perk. For each enemy you hit with Fire Strike, gain 2 seconds of 25% increased attack speed.
Removed.
New Minor Perk. Distance travelled while using Charge regenerates your Barrier Field by 150 per second.
Removed.
Overhealth gain increased from 50% to 100% of Charge damage.
Projectile speed increased from 25 to 30 meters per second. Recovery time reduced from 0.63 to 0.45 seconds.
Developer comment: Reinhardt generally does well across the game but falls off in effectiveness at high ranks. We're increasing the speed and responsiveness of Fire Strike to make it more reliable from range.
Shield Slam distance increased by 50%.
New Minor Perk. Refund a charge of Fire Strike when you stun an enemy, overfilling up to 3.
Removed.
Cooldown reduced from 8 to 6 seconds.
Passive Regeneration trigger rate increased from 50% to 75%.
Developer comment: We're making improvements to several of Reinhardt's perks to increase their usability in various situations.
While Barrier Field is active, use Secondary Fire to damage and knockback enemies.
While using Barrier Field, your passive health regeneration triggers 50% sooner.
Charge damage grants temporary overhealth for 50% of the damage dealt.
Barrier Field is healed for 100% of Fire Strike's damage dealt.
Barrier Field health reduced from 1600 to 1500.
Developer comment: This is just some fine tuning for the barrier health and regeneration rate as it had become slightly too tough to break through.
Wall impact damage increased from 275 to 300.
Maximum health increased from 1400 to 1600. Barrier regeneration rate increased from 140 to 160 health per second.
Developer comment: One of the core design goals for Reinhardt is to be the hero that shields his team. In the past we've reduced the barrier health significantly in order to improve other offensive aspects of his kit to better fit the fast-paced gameplay of Overwatch 2, but perhaps it was too much.
Knockdown duration increased from 2.75 to 3 seconds. Shockwave range increased from 20 to 25 meters.
Damage increased from 100 to 120.
Armor increased from 275 to 300.
Wall impact damage increased from 225 to 275.
Close range damage increased from 170 to 200 (undocumented).
Damage increased from 85 to 100.
Health increased from 200 to 250. Armor increased from 250 to 275.
Maximum health increased from 1200 to 1400.
Developer comment: We are increasing Reinhardt's barrier uptime to help him better protect his allies. We'll be keeping an eye on this, as we want to avoid situations where players feel like they are always shooting at barriers.
Armor health reduced from 300 to 250. Base health increased from 175 to 200.
Developer comment: Reinhardt has been overperforming after the recent increases to his offensive capabilities. Those changes have been playing well, so to adjust his overall power, we're reducing his overall health through this armor reduction.
Cooldown reduced from 8 to 7 seconds.
Direct hit damage reduced from 250 to 170. Knockdown duration increased from 2.5 to 2.75 seconds. Ultimate cost increased 7%.
Developer comment: In similar fashion to Roadhog's Chain Hook combo changes last season, we'd generally like to avoid heroes in the Tank role from killing enemies in one shot. Earthshatter direct hit damage is being reduced with that goal in mind.
Damage increased from 90 to 100.
Knockback impulse reduced from 10 to 6.
Developer comment: The Rocket Hammer knockback reduction sounds like a loss of power though it is actually aiming to reduce the number of times Reinhardt accidentally knocks enemies out of his melee range.
Base health in non-Role Queue modes reduced from 325 to 175. Base health in Role Queue modes remains at 325.
Armor reduced from 350 to 300. Health increased from 300 to 325.
