An Overwatch 2 player shared an extract from their latest game where they performed an awesome escape as Reinhardt right when the enemy team was about to defeat them. Overwatch 2 often offers incredible plays that players are eager to share, and this clip looks like an action movie scene rarely seen in Blizzard’s FPS.
Ever since its release in early access in October 2022, Overwatch 2 has been gathering a strong fan base praising Blizzard for its fast-paced cooperative FPS where each player has a specific role to play to help their team win the game. Despite a lack of PvE content on Overwatch 2, which is expected to release later this year with new abilities for all heroes, players still enjoy the PvP mode that pits two teams of five players on various maps where they must take control of objectives, move a payload, or fight over a robot to move it in the desired direction with the latest game mode, Push.
An Overwatch 2 player known as Dubaderp on Reddit shared a video highlighting a key moment from one of their matches. They were playing as Reinhardt on Blizzard World, defending the first point against the enemy team by preventing them from moving too far from their spawn room, when the enemy Hanzo launched his ultimate ability Dragonstrike. Reinhardt moved backward and charged away, dodging the Dragonstrike that seemed to be chasing after him. While Reinhardt managed to avoid Hanzo’s attack with this incredible move, his teammate Lucio wasn’t as lucky and died in the Dragonstrike.
In the comments to this video, players were impressed by this incredible move performed by Reinhardt in Overwatch 2. Several comments mentioned how the scene looked straight out of an action movie, similar to the way heroes casually walk away from an explosion happening in the background. Many noted that they didn’t know Reinhardt’s charge was faster than Hanzo's Dragonstrike and stated they would try to apply this strategy in their future games. Others wondered why Reinhardt didn’t simply take a step to the side to avoid Hanzo’s attack, before noticing that this would have been more dangerous for the tank hero than to fall back.
Overwatch 2 enthusiasts often publish video extracts of their games on social media, either to showcase their skills or to share a funny moment they witnessed. Some even combine both of these elements to highlight one of their best gameplay moments and add a humorous touch to it, such as when an Overwatch 2 player added hype music to their Play of the Game.
Overwatch 2 is available to play for free on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
