Available for less than two weeks, Concord will cease operations on September 6, putting trophy enthusiasts in a difficult situation. And, in a desperate race against the clock to obtain the coveted Platinum trophy before the game is permanently retired, players are resorting to extreme methods, such as deliberately throwing themselves off cliffs in-game, to maximize their progress in the shortest time possible.
In video games, trophies are earned by completing various objectives set by the developers, either story-related or secondary challenges. The Platinum trophy, in particular, is awarded to players who manage to obtain all other available trophies, and is considered a great achievement, especially when it relates to a game that is no longer accessible.
While Concord isn’t particularly difficult in terms of individual trophies, the real challenge lies in its impending retirement. The most complex trophy to obtain currently is the silver “Experienced Freegunner” trophy, which requires reaching Freegunner Reputation level 100, and which so far, only 24 people on PSNProfiles have managed to complete.
In the face of urgency, players are resorting to unconventional strategies to maximize their progress, with the most common tactic being to quickly kill themselves in Concord’s 5v5 Rivalry mode to rack up experience as quickly as possible.
Through videos on various platforms, it has been documented how Concord matches have turned into a frantic race to get out of maps at the start. Although it is a necessary measure to achieve the coveted Platinum trophy before the game is retired, some players are expressing frustration with the slow process.
September 6th will mark the end of Concord in its current form, and for players determined to platinum it, this weekend will be crucial. The success or failure of this quest remains to be seen, but it’s clear that the impact of the game’s impending closure has mobilized a passionate community, ready to do anything to complete their trophy collection.
The most used hero in Deadlock is selected in 93% of the games, but its popularity would be due to the low skill level required to use it.
Even though Valve’s new MOBA-shooter Deadlock is still in an early stage of development, it’s already starting to reveal some interesting trends in its gameplay. This is thanks to Tracklock.gg, a new website that tracks character pick and win rates, revealing that the most successful hero so far is Seven.
According to the site, Seven has an impressive win rate of 58.90%, the highest in the game.
