How to Earn XP Fast in Concord

Sony will be shutting down and delisting Concord on September 6, 2024, offering refunds to anyone who bought it, which means those who do own the have been trying to earn XP fast. Why? Multiple trophies for the title are tied to getting characters to certain levels. Fortunately, there is an easy way to do so, and it is tied to the fact that you don’t need to “win” a match to gain experience.

How do I earn XP for Concord characters fast?

The best way to earn XP fast in Concord basically went viral online thanks to people like Radec on X. The type of match that gives you most experience is a Rivalry playlist one. Given how little time is left before the game goes offline, you need to fit in as many matches as possible. As such, head into a Rivalry match. Once the round starts, immediately run toward the edge of the map and jump off. In the Radec example, the map used is Shock Risk, but Water Hazard would also work pretty well too. If everyone is on-board, then they’ll also do the same. Since Rivalry is a best-of-seven match, ideally you’ll only need to play six matches.

Here’s that Radec footage showing how this approach would work.

Note that with other people taking this new Concord approach to gaining XP fast, it might be difficult to get achievements/trophies tied to actually participating in matches. One such example is Line ‘em Up, which involves eliminating five enemies one-after-another in a single match.

Concord is available on the PS5 and PC until September 6, 2024.
