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 ramp up the difficulty. These perks inflict various negative effects on Henry, transforming gameplay in interesting ways.
Several challenging perks will be available, each adding its own layer of complexity:
- Sore Back: Reduces Henry's carry weight 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: Slows experience gain by 20%. (Yes, you read that right, 20% slower experience gain!)
- Sweaty: Causes Henry to become dirtier and smellier faster, impacting social interactions.
- Ugly Mug: Increases the likelihood of encounters escalating into difficult fights, as enemies will refuse to surrender.
These new additions aim to create a far more immersive and challenging playthrough for those seeking a truly grueling adventure in the world of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
