Forging Greatness: Overwatch 2 Fan Crafts Jaw-Dropping Life-Sized Reinhardt Hammer, Towering at 10.5 Feet!

A devoted Overwatch 2 enthusiast has brought the game to life by crafting a towering, life-sized Reinhardt hammer that dwarfs them in comparison. Reinhardt, a beloved Tank hero in Overwatch 2, received a visual overhaul with the sequel's release, including changes to his passive ability, health, and armor, along with the addition of a rugged beard. Despite these alterations, one constant remained—the iconic hammer used by Reinhardt to pummel foes. This passionate gamer paid homage to the mighty Tank hero with a real-world recreation that provides a glimpse into the character's impressive scale.

Reddit user DansJungle recently showcased their impressive Reinhardt hammer through two photos, cleverly including a person in the frame for scale. The meticulously crafted hammer closely mirrors Reinhardt's in-game weapon, particularly the Cardboard skin variant. Notably, the real-life rendition differs from the standard model, lacking certain gold elements present in the base weapon. Standing at a towering 10.5 feet, the cardboard masterpiece faithfully reproduces the proportions of Reinhardt's virtual arsenal. The hammerhead, reminiscent of a revolver chamber, boasts three openings representing the rockets aiding Reinhardt in wielding it. Intricate details, such as black numbering and lettering on the weapon shaft, deviate from the red lettering seen on the official skin in Overwatch 2.

According to DansJungle, the formidable hammer is primarily constructed from cardboard, with 3D-printed gray embellishments adding a touch of realism. Noteworthy are the visible recycling logos, hinting at the repurposed nature of the materials. The term "Zerbrechlich," meaning fragile or frail, is emblazoned beneath one logo, acknowledging slight deviations from the Overwatch 2 model. Red Solo cups contribute to certain details, and the hammer's shaft is visibly secured with copious amounts of tape. While the elongated handle contributes to the hammer's towering presence, a photograph emphasizing the head's size suggests it is approximately half the size of the individual holding it.

While Overwatch 2 offers Reinhardt various skin options, including Golden and Hard Light variants, this dedicated fan specifically recreated the Cardboard skin's distinctive hammer, adding a unique and impressive dimension to their Overwatch fandom.
