The wait for Overwatch 2 is almost over as the anticipated title comes out in early access in a little over a month. While many await the sequel, gamers continue to play the original Overwatch from 2016. And players are continuing to come up with some incredible plays in the interim, such as one play of the game made by a talented Reinhardt player.
In a post on Reddit, a user known as FEDEuMAD shared a clip from a recent game of Overwatch. In the clip, the power of Reinhardt’s FireStrike was on full display. It is worth noting that FEDEuMAD was not the one playing Reinhardt in the clip, instead, it was their friend who went by the name Menu in the video. While the Reddit user had not made the clip themselves, they said they found it very satisfying and wanted to upload it.
The clip started near the final checkpoint on the Havana map, as Menu, who was playing as Reinhardt, managed to secure an elimination on an enemy Reinhardt by pinning them against a wall. However, Menu was far from finished as they turned their attention back toward the payload. After receiving a Nano Boost from Ana and a damage boost from Orisa, Reinhardt launched a Fire Strike straight at a group of enemies on the objective. Before the opposing team had time to react, the Fire Strike impacted the group, eliminating four enemies in the process.
As if the Fire Strike was not enough, Reinhardt continued to walk forward and used Earthshatter on the remaining Soldier 76 on the opposing team. They then eliminated them with one swift strike of their hammer. Unsurprisingly, this incredible sequence of events led to Menu earning play of the game.
This Fire Strike play of the game featuring Menu that was posted by FEDEuMAD has created quite an impact on the Overwatch subreddit since it was shared roughly a week ago. In fact, the clip has become so popular on Reddit that it has accumulated more than 4.7K upvotes. Among the comments from gamers, numerous players were impressed with the play, and some even said that it made them want to try the Tank in Overwatch out for themselves. In addition, some commented that they loved that Reinhardt solo Earthshattered the Soldier 76 player at the end of the video. “That solo shatter at the end was icing on the cake for the team kill also. lmao,” shizfest said on Reddit.
It is often exciting to see what incredible plays of the game players manage to get even years after the game first launched. In addition to this impressive Fire Strike, many other gamers have been showing off their Tank prowess as Reinhardt. For example, one player recently executed an incredible Earthshatter on the Temple of Anubis Map in Overwatch. Time will tell what other highlights featuring this fan-favorite Tank will emerge on the internet in the coming days.
Overwatch is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
