KCD 2 Hardcore Mode Unveils New Perks: Sore Back, Clumsy Steps

For those who found Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 to be less challenging than desired, Warhorse Studios is set to roll out an exciting update. This patch introduces a hardcore mode that lets players tailor their gameplay experience through a series of challenging perks applied to the protagonist, Henricus.

Here's a rundown of the new perks you can activate to ramp up the difficulty:

• Sore Back Perk: This perk limits the maximum weight Henricus can carry and heightens the risk of injury during herb and mushroom foraging. It’s perfect for players looking to add a physical challenge to their journey.

• Heavy Footsteps Perk: Activating this will cause your shoes to wear out more quickly and make Henricus’s steps louder, significantly impacting your stealth capabilities. It's ideal for those who want to make every move count.

• Dimwit Perk: This one slows down your experience gain by 20%. Warhorse Studios playfully highlighted this drawback not once, but twice in the perk's description, ensuring players know what they're getting into.

• Sweaty Perk: With this perk, Henricus will get dirtier and smellier faster, which can negatively affect social interactions within the game. It’s a great choice for those who want to add a layer of realism to their character’s daily life.

• Ugly Mug Perk: This perk increases the chances that random encounters will turn into tougher fights, as enemies will no longer surrender and will battle to the bitter end. It’s perfect for players seeking more intense combat scenarios.

These additions are designed to offer a more immersive and demanding experience for players craving a more challenging adventure in the richly detailed world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Whether you're foraging in the woods, navigating stealthily, or engaging in combat, these perks will ensure that every decision you make carries weight and consequence.
