With the impending shutdown of PlayStation's hero shooter Concord, players are rushing to earn the platinum trophy before it's too late. Following a disappointing launch, Concord will be going offline on September 6, and Sony has announced full refunds for those who purchased it on PS5 and PC. To achieve the "Experienced Freegunner" trophy, players are resorting to an unusual tactic where they eliminate themselves quickly in matches to farm XP. This has led to absurdly short game sessions as players prioritize rapid self-elimination over the intended gameplay experience.

Why is the Concord trophy hunting leading to self-eliminations in matches?

This bizarre strategy has emerged as players attempt to rapidly gain experience points to reach Level 100 in Freegunner reputation before the game's servers shut down. With limited time left, some gamers are prioritizing quick completion over traditional gameplay.

Concord is a first-person shooter that attempted to blend elements from popular games like Team Fortress 2 and Destiny. Despite a promising concept, the game's rocky launch and poor reception have led to its early demise. As players scramble for trophies and refunds, the future of the game's unique mechanics and potential return remains uncertain.
