Concord players are resorting to some pretty drastic measures in order to secure the game's Platinum trophy ahead of its shutdown on Friday, new reports have revealed.
As noted by X (formerly Twitter) user Radec, players are heading into Concord's Rivalry, a five-versus-five round-based gameplay mode, and immediately hurling themselves off cliffs and ledges in order to quickly complete matches.
Radec points out that this technique is "the fastest way to earn XP for the Platinum". As a reminder, several of Concord's trophies require you to reach certain Reputation thresholds, and doing so requires XP, which you can earn simply by finishing games.
Independent verification that this is definitely happening in Concord Rivalry games also comes from IGN, so it looks like if you want a proper, regular game of Concord before it shuts down, you'd better pick a different mode.
Of course, the jury's out on whether or not this tactic will actually work. In a followup post, Radec says they've been using this tactic "for an hour and only went from Level 44 to 45". That Platinum might be out of your reach, even if you start dying as efficiently as possible in Concord now....
