With shutdown coming soon, Concord’s few players desperately farm XP for trophies

Concord’s remaining players — not that there were many even two weeks after the PlayStation shooter’s launch — are jumping to their deaths en masse as soon as a match begins. It’s not an act of protest, or otherwise a statement about the doomed game’s abrupt closure. These folks are trying to farm XP for a rare platinum trophy before Concord goes away.

As spied by IGN (and Kotaku, among others), most rounds on PlayStation now begin with everyone heading for the nearest cliff/platform/very high place to take a long walk off it. The match instantly ends, with experience points awarded to winning and losing sides alike. All of this is done in furtherance of the goal of reaching level 100 before the game goes dark, likely permanently, on Sept. 6.

This is literally every match of Rivalry in Concord rn because this is the fastest way to earn XP for the Platinum
