KCD 2 Hardcore Mode: New Perks Like Sore Back, Clumsy Steps, and More

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 players who craved a more challenging experience will soon get their wish. Warhorse Studios is releasing an update introducing a hardcore mode, packed with selectable perks designed to significantly increase the difficulty. These perks inflict various negative effects on Henry, altering gameplay in interesting ways.

Several challenging perks are available, each adding its own layer of complexity:

• Sore Back: Reduces Henry's carrying capacity and increases the risk of injury while gathering herbs and mushrooms.
• Heavy Footsteps: Accelerates shoe wear and makes Henry's movements louder, hindering stealth.
• Dimwit: Reduces experience gain by 20% (yes, you read that right, 20%!).
• Sweaty: Makes Henry dirtier and smellier faster, impacting social interactions.
• Ugly Mug: Increases the likelihood of encounters escalating into difficult fights, as enemies will fight to the death instead of surrendering.

These additions aim to create a more immersive and challenging experience for players seeking a tougher, more realistic adventure in the world of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
