Reinhardt's shield blocks most enemy projectiles and bullets but there are certain attacks which can go right through it. Which attacks ignore Reinhardt's shield?
Best Answer
As seen here Reinhardt's barrier does not block the following:
Melee attacks. Reinhardt and his shield will both take full damage from a single melee attack.
Some channeled weapons, including: Winston's Tesla Cannon and Symmetra's Photon Projector beam.
Reinhardt's Fire Strike and Symmetra's Photon Orbs.
Fire Strike and Photon Orbs can actually pass through and damage everything in its path, including Reinhardt, his barrier and anyone else behind Reinhardt.
