Earthshatter is Reinhardt's ultimate ability. Does it pass through an enemy Reinhardt's Barrier Field (shield), particularly? Winston's Barrier? Zarya's Particle Barrier?

No, Earthshatter will not pass through shields. I have tried this, only to be disappointed.

Do note that Reinhardt's shield has to be touching the ground to block Earthshatter. If the Reinhardt is looking up, it will not block Earthshatter. (props to @Studoku for this).

    Reinhardt's shield only works if it's touching the ground. If he's looking up, it can go under the shield.

  • +1 I didn't know about touching the ground and always wondered why it sometimes worked and sometimes didn't
