How to get your beta rewards in Concord

Like many titles, Concord had a couple of betas before its launch. One was a closed beta that only those who pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition of the game could access, and the second was an open beta. However, regardless of which you played, each promised special in-game items to players who participated in them.

The closed and open betas for Concord gave players a chance to try out all initial 16 Freegunners and a decent slice of the overall game ahead of its launch, though much more is planned for post-launch in the game’s roadmap. Those who played could unlock two items that they’re able to use in the full release, but they aren’t just going to jump out at you. If you know what you’re doing, you should be able to track these items down pretty easily, but I’ve got you covered if you just need a hint as to where to look to find and equip them on all of your Freegunners.

How to get your beta rewards in Concord

To get your beta rewards in Concord, you need to look in two specific menus. First is the Freegunner customization menu. When you select your Freegunners, choose the Weapon Charm option, and you’ll find the Lil’ Frog Weapon Charm. This is exclusively available to those who participated in the game’s beta, so you won’t see anyone who didn’t play the betas rocking it.

The second menu you need to access is the Player Business Card menu. On PS5, this is accessed by pressing the pause button. If you played either of the Concord betas, you’ll find the Convergence Background for your Business Card is now available.

Note that you won’t have access to these items if you didn’t play the closed or open betas for Concord. I noticed a few players asking on the game’s subreddit where these rewards were when I got into it during the early access period with the Deluxe Edition, and some didn’t realize they couldn’t get them because they didn’t play a single match in the betas.

Concord is a hero shooter who, I believe, has a lot more heart than most. The characters, for example, bring it to life like I’ve never seen done in a game in this genre. There’s also a massive codex that gets updated as you play on different maps, gain levels, and explore the vast Galaxy Map, which contains dozens of lore entries about the Concord universe.

I love exclusive and hard-to-earn rewards in my online games, and these beta rewards are just the tip of the iceberg. Each Freegunner has a set of cosmetics to unlock, as well as those locked behind seasonal progress, challenges, and whatever the developer has planned for the future.
