I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know a few of the brave souls that call Concord their home. Each one of them brings unique strengths and abilities to the table, shaped by their distinct backgrounds and experiences.
Players now have access to Concord, the newest multiplayer shooting game from PlayStation. We’ve had a chance to try out the 16 unique characters this game offers.
In simple terms, each character boasts distinct fighting skills, armaments, and varying sizes and health levels, significantly altering the experience when using them.
At the beginning, try out different heroes from various categories to discover a few that resonate with you. Later, you’ll reap the greatest benefits by alternating between these favorites during matches due to their unique Crew Bonuses.
I’ve played quite a few characters in games throughout the years, and each one has offered unique experiences that shaped my gaming style. Let’s explore the roster of playable characters currently available to get a sense of which ones resonate most with me.
Anchors
Characters serving as anchors in a team are often larger-than-life figures with significantly greater health reserves.
Instead of moving swiftly like other characters, these heroes operate at a slower pace, and they typically utilize shields to minimize harm instead of inflicting it directly.
All Anchor characters provide the ‘increased healing received‘ Crew Bonus.

Breachers
Breacher characters represent a blend of tank and damage dealer classes. With their imposing physiques and substantial health, they share similarities with tanks. However, they significantly outmatch Anchors in terms of potent offensive weapons and abilities.
Players who prefer having extra health while actively participating in battles would particularly enjoy these hero characters.

Haunts
Characters with haunting abilities place great emphasis on their mobility skills, including triple jumps and jetpacks. While their damage output may not be significant, mastering these abilities will grant you formidable power.
Be mindful of the smaller health reserves of these characters, as they may not withstand strong adversaries for long.
All Haunt characters provide the ‘improved mobility‘ Crew Bonus.

Rangers
As a big fan of RPG games, I can tell you that Ranger characters tend to take on a more conventional damage-dealing role in teams. Armed with classic rifles and submachine guns, they are the go-to heroes when it comes to dishing out damage to adversaries. Their skill sets may vary from one hero to another, but the common thread is their capacity to inflict harm or offer valuable assistance to their comrades.
All Ranger characters provide the ‘improved weapon recoil‘ Crew Bonus.
Duchess

Tacticians
As a gamer who prefers the role of a Tactician freegunner, I focus on causing maximum annoyance to the enemy team. Setting up traps and providing healing items are my go-to moves. And let’s not forget about gathering intel on the opponents’ positions. It’s a great fit for players who enjoy staying just behind the action.
All Tactician characters provide the ‘faster reload speed‘ Crew Bonus.

| Ability 2 | Spore Seed – Drops a growing spore on the ground. Standing in the spore’s area grants haste and damage resistance to allies. Enemies are slowed and vulnerable |
| Movement Style | Double Jump |
| Passive Ability | Fungal Resistance – Damage resistance stacks with active spores on the map |
Wardens
As a Warden gamer, I often prefer to play the lone wolf role. The unique abilities of each character I choose excel in one-on-one encounters. Self-healing powers and intense close-quarter combat techniques like flashbangs are just a few examples that come in handy during these situations.
As a fan, I’d describe it like this: When fighting alongside others as a Ranger character, I deal damage to enemies. But when it comes to the resilient Warden hero, I notice an added layer of survivability that helps them stay in the thick of battle longer.
All Warden characters provide the ‘longer weapon range‘ Crew Bonus.
