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 that significantly ramp up the difficulty. These perks inflict various negative effects on Henry, altering gameplay in interesting ways.

Several challenging perks will be available, each presenting unique obstacles:

  • 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: 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 random encounters escalating into tougher fights, as enemies will refuse to surrender.

These new features aim to create a more immersive and demanding experience for players seeking a truly grueling adventure in the world of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
